Staffordshire Bull Terrier Training: Obedience and BoomerBall

[1acroyear1]

Now, why exactly would you train your dog to rape a ball?

[PEZZAT0]

@1acroyear1 I'm training my dog self control. He must wait my command before doing what he want: to "rape" the ball ;)

[1acroyear1]

@PEZZAT0 Sit! Stay! Rape! Good boy!

Is this a 100% Pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier? KC registered and all that?

[PEZZAT0]

@HulmeBoy09 Yes, 100% pure breed with pedigree. In this video he is ten months old so he doesn't look like an adult staffy,

[HulmeBoy09]

@PEZZAT0 Do you have any other videos of him fully grown or is he still young? I'm picking up my SBT this Saturday cannot wait Valglo/Crashkon bloodlines awesome dogs.

dont walk him with a harness.all their power goes through there chest so they dont respond well to correction.you just need a sturdy collar and side correction(if needed).they are bright dogs and soon get the message

Have you got any advice how I can get my staff to stop pulling on the lead(With his harness)And biting because he's teething at the moment and he likes to chew...on my arm...a lot

[PEZZAT0]

@paris101112131415

When your staffy pulls, you have to stop walking or to change direction.

If he bites you, avoid violence: just stop playing and leave him alone. You can buy a black kong for the teeth, it's very strong.

@paris101112131415 Stopping and changing direction is a god idea....dont let the take you for a walk, just dont go till the dogs calm and not pulling.

Also us a collar rather than a harness....harnesses are designed so that your dog can pull loads and actually encourage your dog to pull. A few weeks correcting the dog with a collar (small tugs on the lead when the dog pulls) and it will soon get the idea. DO NOT yank the lead, this will only confuse him.

is there staffy that dont have a lot of musle and long legs like ur dog

but wiv a longer nose ish

i want sporty staff basiclly

[pm06pb]

@monacosarajevo Get a dog thats not a staff then??

[JonnyBoyGolden]

Really? Why nose?

[PEZZAT0]

Because today most sbt have too short nose that cause respiratory difficulties. If you don't have to do sport with your staffy, this is not a problem... but in other cases...

[JonnyBoyGolden]

Thanks for the advice. So what exactly is a light staffy? Height and weight? I only want her to be short is all...

[PEZZAT0]

Ligth staffy is a dog that have enough legs to run. You can find light staffy like Dexter (41cm x 17kg) or shorter staffy (36cm x 12kg). If you want to do sport with your staffy, pay attention to legs and nose ;)

[JonnyBoyGolden]

Thanks alot. Any advice you can give for when I get one? Particularly a small yet mustcular one? How old is he by the way? When will he fill out?

[PEZZAT0]

I don't know where you can get one out of Italy (I'm italian). Pay attention with small and muscular stafifes: in spite of their muscles they are less strong and healthy than light staffies.

Dexter is born in June 2009 and you can see his growth in all videos. Normally sbt stop to grow in height at about 6 months and at all at about 2 years

[JonnyBoyGolden]

great Staffy. How tall is he? Is he full grown? I only ask, cause I want one but I dont want a big one...

[PEZZAT0]

Hi, in this video dexter is full grown in height but not at all in muscles. He is 41 cm and the upper limit admitted in the breed standard is 41.5 cm. This staffy is a BIG ONE!
