hyperactive staff HELP

my dog is almost 8 months old and is still hyper would having her spead calm her down? any advice would be great thanks

i may ask you this before is she gettign walks? and how long for?

Staffords are hyper! Especially as pups. Make sure she is properly exersized, training games, lots of interaction when possiable and so on.

If you tire her out, which means keeping her mind occupied, then she'll settle down. Xx

Totally agree with Janey

Bruno is 8 months on Wednesday 31 august, he get walked 35 minutes in the morning and evening and he is played with on and off during the day, don't know if i am just lucky or not but if he's getting no attention he tends to either lay on the sofa/armchairs or his crate and go to sleep, never known a dog to sleep so much heehee

Vinnie was a hyper pup and nippy too!, with training and him growing older, he is a perfectly behaved dog (give or take some things, like most dogs lol).
He is amazing with kids and other dogs, he has been castrated but i cant say 100% that this is why his as good as he is.

Skye is only 5months old and she is a bouncy pup!! lol, but thats pups for ya.

They need to be walked at a minimum two times per day for at least 45 minutes at a time IMHO. They also need training and mental stimulation. Try hiding treta around the house and having her search for them.

On rainy days, really cold days or days we just can't take her out twice we substitute a few games of tug of war for the second walk.

can i ask what you are feeding her, sometimes it can be the food, just like when you give the wrong things to toddlers and kids they can become hyperactive

she is great when shes just with me but when i get visitors she goes mental lol she gets lots of exersize and giving her toys is a night mare as she eats them instead of spitting them out i feed her dog meat as ive tryed her with all dry foods and she gets the runs
