Thanks heaps mate, I am in Aus and had to go to Queensland to farewell a good friend. So i got a good dog sitter for the 5 days i was away. When i returned my cute puppy was bitting me all over and has lapsed in toilet training. I had him 95% trained at 16 weeks old using the methods i used on my previous Staffy i had for over 13 years and he was an angel and perfect with my young son. Now i have watched a few of your videos things are getting tiny bit better each day and he has stopped eating the leather couch atleast now. Dog sitters can be good and pamper your pet but i don't think they put anywhere near the effort i was putting in to train him properly. Your videos showed me that i have to go back to what was working and do extra on exercise.
I recently rescued a 20mth English staffy x(Nellie)found your videos and in 48hrs I have transformed her from jumping uncontrollably onto me to a girl that now sits and stays, only sitting on my lap when invited. Has stopped trying to eat from my plate. Today we will be working on walking with a lead and not completely relying on her harness to hold her. We also have a kelpieX female ( bella) that is almost 4yrs as well. I have to get a slip lead for my staffie but will use the one she came with till I can get a decent slip lead for her here in Australia. Ty from Nellie and Bella my girls and me Mary.
Thanks Will! You’re a superb communicator and your advice makes real sense. You are clearly passionate about the welfare of dogs and what you do - thanks for sharing your experience. I bought your book - looking forward to reading it 👍
I'm so glad my great granny was a dog trainer/dog shower/dog breeder of terriers (Kerry Blue and Wire Haired Fox) I inherited her gene and most of this training comes natural to me! I'm a first time Staffordshire Bull Terrier owner and my girl is 6 mos now, but I've been doing everything you've suggested in the video just by instinct! I am usually a Rottie person and they are a powerful breed but a breeze to train and have a quiet, wait and see nature. The staffies are energetic, they're smart, but stubborn and tenacious but she wouldn't be a terrier if she wasn't!😂God bless y'all, I enjoyed this video as confirmation!!❤️🐾
May I suggest you make it clear, that you are addressing a puppy problem - both in the title and in the videos intro. As it is, it makes one think, that the video is about adult Staffies and if I didn't know better, it would make me think, that Staffies bite, which they don't; except for when they are puppies 🧡
I have an awesome staffy puppy named Lucchi and this was an excellent video. Thank you for this cause the razors were frustrating but I will take this advice and run with it for sure.
👍Very good info here,thank you. I had a very wrong opinion about the Staffy and the Amstaff (didn't know there were 2 different breeds untill last night).I really didn't know that are very good family dogs.Now I want one,and offcourse as a Dutchman I want a Staffordshire Bullterrier from England.
Hmmm, there are several million people of Dutch descent in the U.S., including something like 30,000 recent immigrants/expatriates. Entire towns in the midwest are ethnically dutch, with tulip festivals and the whole nine-yards. Meanwhile I believe there are about 15,000 dutch immigrants/expatriates currently in the U.K.. I´m not sure I follow your reasoning on choice of breeds...
@@jonvelde5730 and when see your name you are maybe one of them.I see now that I talked a lot off bullshit.I am a big fan of the USA and me and my family always like to come to your great country.I always feel welcome when I am there.My dream is when I am retired to spend a couple years in the USA
Thank you Will that’s very helpful my crossbreed staffie is a wonderful boy he loves every body people children dogs he as to stop and say hello to all he sees
My dog is a rescue and he's almost 2. He's with us a year now but he's so destructive and he jumps on us constantly and bites us. He chews every single toy within minutes and he's even chewing through doors. Please help me 😢
Give it a bit more time, train him/her a bit more, get the relatioship on 100% with you two first, then try with family, also include them in trainings, let them stand behind you and watch, include them in plays too but be very strict if they bite them. I let my daughter "check" if i did good training with my staffy after we are done, i help if she doesnt listen, but all together that works pretty well, for me at least, also give your family treats to give your puppy and praise them when they did something good.
Ok listen to this and my last staff I had round me at two years perfect dog she had soft mouth would play harder with me has pack leader and not with partner .the thing you say I've been doing new pup we have create pad still training her to use pads all the time not had second jab so can not take out she has lots of toys and we fill them with food .I've not let her have run of all the home yet we have got her siting at nine weeks but nipping is hard work I already did what you say remove my self make a noise like a mum would .but she is very will full.
Hi I’m wondering the best way of helping my staffy when it comes to taking him in the car. He’s a very calm boy but starts with mucous and sometimes vomiting. Is there a way to make him comfortable whilst travelling?
Hi there guys, Love this Channel!...I have a 10week staff pup who is full of energy & love, he is excellent with toilet training, sits and waits for his food...however, he really needs to go out and run...(i have no back garden, just a front garden) I have taken him to my field which is opposite me yet I am worried because of the 12week injection rules?...What are your thoughts on taking puppies out before their 12week jab....I know he will be so much happier going out!..Thank you for your love off dogs and support to us owners.
Hey Ellis, thanks so much for watching and reaching out! We actually have a video looking at this very question you might find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aI32bFt-fko.html
So my trainer told me.. 5min of exercices per month of age, 3 sessions per day. Mine is 3 month so its 3 sessions of 15min. Maybe trainers are different all around the world.
i just bought a staffy puppy he is at the moment only 9 weeks old he will only be able to go out for exercise from the 12th of January is there any thing that i can do in the mean time about his biting
What's your advice if you've tried this and the verbal and physical change and redirection actually doesn't stop and the biting gets harder? And when you have 2 pups who are literally trying to rip each other apart. Wits end comes to mind😢
hi, I'm a 13 year old looking for another dog I had a cane Corso mastiff but it sadly passed at 6 years old, I also had my sister's dog that I trained, I have lots of Patience and, and now would be the best time for me to get a dog because of homeschool. if you could give me a dog that would be good for me that would be very greatful
I got a a white red nose Staffordshire Bull Terrier but they have brown safe that was bullied by his mother and brothers and sisters and a couple other pitbull dogs and everything I could do to break him of it he is an adult now 8 years old he's just headstrong and I don't know when it's going to happen but he just goes right after another dog that he does not like sometimes and sometimes that dog will come right at him too how do I stop I'm taking off on me when I don't expect it and make him stay brought right beside of me to take the leash off or when he sees another dog sometimes he gets aggressively excited and I make him stop it because when he's with me super loving protective me hugs kisses he's very friendly one on one and is a super dog he just does not like other dogs how do I stop that because his mom used to run up to him and make him bow down all the time and the owner bus at his mom sister was very rough with my dog and now he's got a temper issue sometimes towards other dogs I don't know when it's going to happen put some. He really loves how do I correct this I got a Shock collar and I take him to the dog park and the people at the bar love him but just some dogs he does not like how do I stop that from him taking off don't expect it
I tried to comment on the original channel but can't can you please do some videos or info pannel on some non guard breeds out of the norm like Corgi, Beagles, Shaunzers, english bulldogs. We've had Dobermans and Rottweilers my entire wife but the wife wants something smaller and I'd like your input on small to medium dogs?!?
I'm getting my new puppy on at the end of the month, im familiar with staffs as my parents have had one on the past and currently own two, but this is the first time owning one myself, I have a 9 and a 5 year old, shall I ask my 9 year old to apply the same type of training when nipping as myself and my wife?
Hey Phil, thanks for watching! Yeah we would say it's best to have everyone in the family on the same page when it comes to training. Dogs thrive with consistency so this will help them learn the desired behaviour faster
@@willathertonstaffyshow6068 I did think so but wasn't sure if too many leaders wouldn't be so good, but you've answered my question so thankyou, and thanks for your videos , I've watched a lot and learned alot. 🙌🙌
Read my comment hes 8 years and been I many fights with hus mean brothers and sisters they're all gone now because of bad behaviors and bad bloodlines forgot my dog but how do I stop history for behavior on some dogs that he does not like how do I make him get along with all dogs that just the way he is now because he's been fights with his brothers and sisters and the owner from his brother had one brindle pitbull that nearly killed my dog save him ever since then never been the same one brother looks a lot like him left a big scar right leg right below his shoulder he does not like to be bullied by any breed Chihuahua or anything
Our 10-weeks puppy are with us at work all day, with many short brakes to go outside. Does she need that much exercise in the afternooon/ evening? She is sooooo tired walks don’t work She bites, jumps bites and bites 😫 pulling the leash ( no training yet)
Hey Marie, it's important to remember that dogs need both physical and mental exercise. We've got a video looking at our top 3 ways to tired you Staffy pup out you might find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cS9EeJvSmJw.html
HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME... I've done everything Will said but my 10 week old Amstaff X British Bulldog puppy just won't stop lunging and Growling to bite me, hard!!! I've been patient and consistent with him saying a firm 'NO', distracted him with toys, tired him out with walks and play, grabbed him by the scruff saying NO, pinned him down (Not hurting him of course) and even growled at him. Nothing Works, he is only focused on Biting me! He even ignores his toys to bite me! Every part of me, even my face... Do I have a Mentally unstable dog? Or are all puppies like this? Doesn't seem normal to me?!?! Any advise would help please. Thank you...

I’m concerned about my Stafford pup who is 16 weeks old. I’ve socialised her daily since 8 weeks and drives in the car, toy playing, treats also crate training. Sleeps right through the night 9pm untill 7am. She can sit shake roll over, wee on command. BUT. Tonight she wouldn’t settle and quite zoom, so I took her for a 20 min walk. Then got home still bitey and restless, gave her a toy and she’d roll over on the ground wanting to nibble feet, placed toy in mouth but restless. I put her in the crate and she went mental, it actually scared me. She was scratching the floor erratically and growling and biting the cage, turning around, ripping the blanket. She even looked distressed. Please what is this. I feel like giving up. I had a staff 25 years ago and don’t recall anything like this. She’s papered and parents DNA tested.
I have similar problems with our pup she is 10 weeks, also biting and her teeth are so sharp. She follows basic commands but is extremely stubborn at times. I'm thinking puppy school but im not sure if I should spend the money or wait it out and see if she outgrows it.. I'm going to try this style in the video and if it doesn't stop then I may reconsider things with school.
Gotta keep in mind most bull and terrier breeds such as amstaffs, staffy bulls and pitbulls are still game bred dogs at heart what I’ve noticed that helps with all pitbull like breeds is redirecting that drive with more intense workouts such as a tease poll or weight pulling and if possible a dog treadmill.
@@lisarankin1638 Im currently going to puppy school and its not helping any of her problem. Mine is 3months. She bites all of us including our 3y daughter and she does not let go. She does not ask for the door either. We had her since 8wks and it has been HELL. I hope your trainer is better than mine.
Hi. We have had our Staffie from 5 months old. The ‘puppy’ biting was bad but we thought we had stopped it. She is now 1 and it’s getting really bad. Would really appreciate some tips
Well, about puppy biting... In my dog's case it is kind of weird. I own a German Shepherd (work line) and yes, he did have that. Well, he's 6,5 yo and he still kinda has it... I NEVER actually stopped him from doing that with me but I taught him to play with HIS teeth on my hands in a nice soft manner and he has learnt it and I've ALWAYS been (and still AM) able to put my hand between HIS teeth without getting hurt. Somehow, the animal seems to have understood that this "game" is off-limits with other people (actually, it is a big "no-no"). I also must say two things: 1) I do exercise my dog enough, and always have done so. 2) I do love my dog, I know he feels that (the opposite os also true) and I am an affectionate owner, albeit a dominant One from the very begining. I am the Alfa of this pack, and this much has always been clear to my dog. Maybe these things have player a role on him NOT nipping/biting other people. Maybe he considera this a "game" to which ONLY I AM entitled, who knows... He is good with people, enjoys being partted and he is PARTICULARLY OUTSTANDING with children, including the ones he's NEVER seen before. He's quite protective of me, though, and has given Proof thereof in a completely assertive manner at least twice! I do love my dog but I hope I have mannaged not to humanize him too much in this message. Cheers from a Portuguese regular viewer of your videos in Portugal! Thank you for your excellent vídeos! PS - The Staffordshire Bull Terrier seems to be growing in me... How weird! I normally prefer big dogs... But this Breed is small but stocky... No ladies' dog... Hum...
Asking out of curiosity. What can i do more after i play and take my new staffy puppy outside which he hates since Finnish weather is sh*t? Ive played alot with him afterwards also but he wont get tired enough.
Fetch and bungee cord on tree w favorite tug of war toy hanging from it works wonders for me, my pup is really chill afterwards. Jogging/running/riding bike is way better w these dogs then a simple and lame walk cause they will never get tired by just walking, unless you walk for HOURS.

Everytime we Pet or praise her when doing great, she turns and bite again Or everytime we Pet her she bites, she stops when NO but continues after that
@@tokyodoru and just like that… she is bitning less 😂 all the time and efffort finally paid off! 🙌🏻 now she fetches a toy instead if she wants to bite something
was excited to see someone knowledgable about specifically staffys but immediately disappointed to see this channel does not actually show any training with a dog, but merely talks you through it. will refer to this channel when i need info on staffy specific behaviors, but unfortunately this isn't useful for actual obedience training sessions.
After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?
Concentrate on two main objectives. First and foremost, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks to reduce losses and maximize gains. Second, prepare yourself to gain from a market turnaround. I advise you to seek the advice of a representative or financial counselor
@@MarcelPhilips In fact, ever since Coronavirus, I've been in regular communication with financial examiners. Nowadays, buying moving stocks is quite easy; the trick is knowing when to buy and when to sell. The section and leave orders for my portfolio are made by my counsel. accumulated more than $550,000 from a $150,000 savings that was initially stale.
@@MarcelPhilips She is MARTHA ALONSO HARA, my consultant. Since then, she has devoted section and leave attention to safeguards that I have been keeping an eye out for. You can locate information about the chief online, on the off chance that you're interested. I made no regrets about substantially adhering to their exchange strategy.
@@MarcusFred-wn3iv sincerely thank you I looked her up on the internet and was awestruck by how qualified she was; I contacted her since I need all the help I can get with canning. I've just scheduled a call.
Stop the 'reassurance lies' ... a dog with biting tendencies in its genes will NOT outgrow it or 'get loved to be reasonable' . In court, a judge considers a dog your property and any damage it does ... YOU are responsible for. And a judge can order a dog destroyed and you cannot do anything about it. Get a real rehabilitator of troubled dogs and skip DIY nonsense and a local 'behaviorist' or medical doctor. If you are sued, you will pay for a lawyer and possibly a large fine and damages. And if it your own family member injured, you can have that problem as well (your dog may hurt a child of your sister-in-law, for example). Wise up!
