New member & new staffy owner

Hi everyone!

Introducing myself - my name is Carolanne. Our wee staffy pup is Bella & she is now 14 weeks old ( we got her at 8 weeks). Life has been turned upside down as she has totally taken over the house - cant remember what we both done before her lol Her training has been going great so far and she is so sociable & friendly. At the moment trying to teach her recall as she can get distracted if people or dogs go past and she is off!! Husband is actually away to the petshop now to buy a clicker to see if this helps with recall training - fingers crossed!

Oh Bella looks gorgeous! Hi there from Una and me

Hi from me and mine!

Have a look at my favourite puppy training videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0C724F6F6A597540

There's all sorts of fab stuff in there, including recall. Have fun!

hia from me and sasha getting a long lead is a very good way to practise their re-call,they still have the freedom to run around but you still have control too

Hi & Welcome to the Forum from Flo and me

Sounds like you're off to a great start

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and Milo, we're new here too, go on youtube and look at 'kikopups' videos if you haven't already, she's amazing! Clicker training is so much fun and your pup will love it!

Yes we have got off to a great start with her - she can sit, stay, lie down, paw & hi 5 lol she is also now off puppy pads & goes to the door if she needs out before her walks.

Thanks Elise-R i will go have a look at that youtube video and get started on her clicker training. She has been a quick learner with everything so far so hopefully she gets the hang of it & we dont need to worry about her running off when she is off lad as she loves exploring outside!

Isn't it great how quickly they learn especially letting you know when they need to go out

Hiya from me and Vinnie, Bella is gorgeous

Wow she's so smart! Good luck with the clicker training!

When she's off lead try the 'hide and seek' game, when she's not paying attention go hide and let her find you, she'll soon learn to keep an eye on you to prevent you from disappearing

Hi, and welcome from me and my Pup, also Bella. My house is pretty much the same way. Bellas 12 weeks, we got her when she was 8 weeks and her trainings coming on well. They're smart wee things

Hi from me & Katy, sounds like Bella is coming on great Keep up the good work & by the way we love lots of pics on here

Hi and welcome from us and Suki

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

Thanks for the welcome everybody. Your dogs are all gorgeous! I will need to practice uploading pics it doesnt seem to be working but may be because i'm on an ipad x

You should be able to posts pics, are you using Photobucket?

Yes i downloaded the photobucket app - i will give it another try as its probably something stupid i'm doing wrong!
