New puppy worries!

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum.
I have a large 8 week old White male staffy - I've never owned a dog myself, my other half has had staffys etc. I've looked after many dogs but never owned one myself.
I think I am having new puppy worries , I feel like I'm not doing things right even though I am doing so much research and looking at other people's problems and seeing advice and taking it in myself.
Is it normal to have new puppy worries or am i just being silly?

Thnx
Sue (:

Sounds to me like you're a very responsible new puppy owner. All puppies are different and will learn at different speeds. My first Staff didn't really have any formal training, she just seemed to know what was what, my current Staff is somewhat different and a whole lot more stubborn 

I'm quiet sure you are doing things right but the thing to do is tackle one issue at a time. If you're not sure it's working ask on here. There are plenty going through the first anxious months just like you Sue 

You can never worry too much It's good that you are doing your research as all pups learn in different ways and what works for someone else may not work for you!
Sounds like the little one will be fine! They are very affectionate and intelligent, make the most of the puppy love before he grows up!

they are just like children,you never stop worrying about them ,some times with their training its one step forward then 3 steps back,but just keep with what your doing and they do get there,it just takes some a bit longer than others,any questions just ask away

Everyday is a learning curve with a staffy they never fail to amaze me. Everyone will be more than happy to answer any questions u have.

Very normal to worry and stress. You will be fine though

Hi Sue , understand fully, ive been the same, i have a new pup ive only ever had an older rescue Staff so the puppy stage is all new to me, lot of fun tho This is what i love about this forum helpful friendly advice and alot have been threw what we will go threw .

Think it's perfectly normal ! I'd never owned a dog until I got my puppy when he was 8 weeks (now 14 mths). I questioned everything !! He's a nutter but he's happy & healthy and gives us SO much love it's ridiculous. Key is - use the forum, I found it SO helpful, and don't overthink things. Always here any time you want to rant or need advice. PS Enjoy the puppy phase

Thanks guys! I appreciate the replies .. I just want him to be happy and healthy haha .. the little pup has just been running around like a headless chicken lol he is funny!

Just taken this of my little man!!

He is so cheeky looking! They look like little pink piglets when they get tired don't they! My parents is all white and he was just the cutest at that age!

-my dogs are my babies, nothing but nothing comes over them so no i dont think your over protective. ive had both mine since pups and have been on a roller coaster ride with them and wouldnt change it for the world. sometimes it can get scarey, just hang in there it will be okay
