Hello! My name is Sam. I live in the south east of the UK and have recently got myself a lovely little blue & white pied stuffy! He's currently 12 weeks old and as mischievous as ever!
He is our second SBT as a family unit. Up until last year we had a gorgeous brindle boy named Khan who was absolutely amazing! We lost him last year at the ripe old age of 13 due to an ongoing cancer related problem.

However Harley is the newest addition! We sought after many rescue Staffs but unfortunately every one we had filled forms out for either had health issues or had people waiting in line before us. We got Harley from a breeder a few miles away from us. He has a champion KC dad and a gorgeous mum. He was the only boy out of a litter of 5. They were all gorgeous. Harley is now 12 weeks old and ready to face the world soon! Training is going well, he can sit, lay down and do paw etc the only thing we are having issues with is toilet training. He has a thing for puppy pads which has only developed within the last two weeks. He destroys them all! However, he will bark and run to back door if he gets there in time if he wants to go outside (which is done of the lead in a sectioned off area of the back garden as he's only just had his last injection so he's not allowed to free roam yet) but sometimes he'll look you dead in the eye and wee on the floor! https://2img.net/u/3214/11/86/91/smiles/411405.gif
Another problem we have with him is biting/nipping. He often gets really excited if someone new/family/friends come over and he'll just run around with his mouth open and bite everything within reach including clothes, feet etc and he'll pull on your socks and growl quite aggressively. Does anyone have any tips on nipping this in the bud?

I joined this forum to share experiences, get tips and share advice and meet some staffy lovers!

Sorry for the long post! Here is a few photos of Harley ranging from 4 weeks to 12:

11 weeks old; he has gone through 3 new beds this week because he ate his first one, tried to eat the next new one and ended up in the bed we originally got him which he's slightly too big for now and spent the night sulking.

Welcome from Iza and me Smile He looks like an angel Love Struck

Maybe being told to go on the pads and go outside is confusing him. That's what happened with my girl, i got rid of the pads completely and we soon got back on track.

That was first advice i got from here.

Welcome from me and mia try distracting the dog when he is biting he isnt showing any aggression just being a pup and a beautiful pup at that. Nylabones and puppy kongs are good for their teeth.
