Hello There!

Hi!

I'v been lurking the boards for the past few days since we got our little staffy Karma. My fiance has been around this breed for most of his life, and, well, I'm new to dogs, I'm definitely in the adjusting stages So far, I've seen nothing but awesome advice on the boards, and would love to continue picking your experienced brains, any advice is welcome! Particularly with nipping at this point, she's getting it slowly not to get at us while playing, and if she does hit flesh to be gentle, but again, it's a learning process!

Thanks all for having such a useful and relevant forum available   

Hi there! Our little one is 11 weeks, and I know what you mean, those needles are painful! Theia is getting it, slowly tho!!
This forum is an absolute encyclopedia of staffy knowledge, the advice for is so far has been great! Theia is our second staffy, but it's 14 years since he was a puppy, so it's all brand new again!!
Good luck, and be patient, when they get it, they get it!!

Hi and welcome from us and Suki

Welcome from Darcy and me

Have a read through this re:- puppy biting, being firm and consistent is the key, I promise it does get easier

Thank you for the welcomes! Having a little one is like having a baby for sure I've been trying to get the finger under tongue thing, but even at 13 weeks, she's still got a mouth that is too tiny for my smaller fingers to do that. I may try the tin of rocks to shake. I'll have to accessorize it! Otherwise, as long as we hold her some rawhide, it's kind of like a pacifier, then she gets bored and looks for something more challenging to chew, I'm going to try to find her some dog puzzles and more durable toys today. She likes the ones that are too big for her at present, she just can't figure out how to get her mouth around them so she has a challenge!

I read about Suki and the dish sponge   , is she still doing better?

Hi & Welcome from Flo and me   

Hiya from me and Vinnie, I used a tin of coins with Vin. Do be careful with rawhide its not the best.

Will do! I've heard both that it is good for them and bad for them, been reading a lot of good things about nylon and nyla bones though

A frozen raw carrot is good when they start to teeth, or a dampened then froze tea towel. I have never had the Nyla bones but sure all things like that should be careful   

Oh yes, she LOVES carrots! Gotta be careful with them though, one a day at this point (I'll generally sneak one into the back of her crate before she goes in for bedtime), they make her a little gassy   

Oh do they? thats unusual, ah well put a peg on yer nose
