Staffies have a beautiful temparement. They are very affectionate, loving and they want to learn. I had my Staffy since she was ten weeks old and she was a nightmare to begin with but the more I watched this content and exercised the training techniques the better she became. She is now nine years of age and my family and I have no issues in walking her and have not had any since she was two years of age.

[@JennyJ520]

God I needed this video today. I had a breakdown with my staffy/dachshund mix this morning on our walk. Some days he's great and right on my righthand side (where we've worked on our heel) and somedays he's on his own agenda. It's so frustrating when I felt like he needs to go back to basics after such a successful week. This was a great reminder that not every walk at the beginning will be perfect, but to keep up with the heel work and it'll build over time.

Farmers can legally shoot a dog who is worrying their livestock. The fear can cause such stress that farm animals can miscarry. I used to keep mine on the lead near fields even if I couldn't see any livestock and even if I could not see a hole or gap in the fence. Better safe than sorry. I hope you have him well trained now :)

[@civiprepper]

Had a staffy pulling for about 6 months. In the end a training collar worked and a more structured obedience training. Normally its a problem to do with the owner. eg the owner isn't willing to provide dominant leadership and assertiveness. staffys can be strong willed and really require guidance. you're so correct about the behaviour spilling out of bad heel work and the terrier problem.

Hey Will, Another fantastic video for us Staffy owners. That’s my pooch in my profile pic and as you can clearly see he’s a Blue’ boy and aptly named Bluey? We rescued him from the London Battersea Dogs home when he was 13/14 months old and this February 2021 we’ve had him two years. He’s an absolute fabulous dog and we all love him to bits. But we have an issue with other dogs? He’s nature is so soft & completely not aggressive towards all dogs and he just wants to play with all dogs. But unfortunately as you’re aware not all dogs are friendly and quite often they will react aggressively towards Bluey’ to which we feel so sad for him as he just wants to play and lots of other dogs as previously stated are not nice in return to put it mildly? Plus as you will know already whenever a Staffy becomes embroiled in a disagreement with another dog, whatever the other breed of dog is it’s always without fail the Staffys fault and we’ve had so many run-ins & arguments with other dog owners whose dogs have clearly been the aggressor towards Bluey, not the other way around and they are very quick to lay blame on our dog and we had the self-same problem with our previous Staffy who we also rescued from London Battersea and we had him sadly put to sleep back in August 2018 due to illness and he was fourteen years old...Why is it that the Staffy has such an unwarranted bad reputation amongst other dog breed owners? Cheers Will, Mickey Shone

[@cymar1000]

I'm a staffy owner who has been consistently been structured boot-camped, but a staffy who has been abused with his previous owner, and her DM's violence toward him (tied my boy up to any post available...., from about 6wks onwards until 7.5wks when NISBTR rescued him.....) I found out (from a close friend who was a close childhood friend, and cut contact previous owner who agreed when I I took Bruno on......) that Bruno had been tied up, and had numerous dogs set on him to try and get him to fight. The problem was that Bruno wouldn't fight the other dogs. He would, however, be very protective of humans (especially newborns and younger kids)........ Every younger animal I came in with, he would be nurturing, as well as my maternal female staffy........she loves anything that's obviously a newborn....a bit like myself.

[@MotionGravity]

I’ve been wanting a starry for years. I am only 25 and still considering if I’m ready for that commitment but I know once I am ready for a dog this will be my favorite breed. I can’t wait. I want one now haha. Thanks for the video man

Another brilliant video. I have my name down on a breeders list for a puppy when one becomes available and will then enrol on your puppy training course. I have a question. Both my wife and I are retired. When we commence the training programme should we both become involved or should one person do the training. Time is not an issue for either of us.

[@alanpower8234]

My staffy/presa cross is 14 weeks old and we are going through this as we speak. Lots of dragging behind when we go out and opposite pulling all the way home. Bit of a mystery the order because she always loves the places we go when we arrive and is reluctant to leave initially. It is slowly getting better but will be watching this video and more importantly applying its contents on our next excursion.

Hi, I’m new to your channel and 9 weeks new to being a Staffy owner. We rescued Poppet in early May, we were told she wouldn’t wear a collar, walk on a lad, or even just go into the garden by herself. She now does all 3, but walking has been so difficult to initiate as she is terrified of just about everything, first walk was 25 mins long, we got about 150yards 🥺 poor dog. She would take 2 or 3 steps, stop, dig in and take a lot of coaxing to get moving. We never puller or dragged her, just gentle tugs on the lead. Was this right? She’s grown confident and if we vary the route, she’s doing it again. Is it because it’s the unknown? If there’s even as much as a heavy mist in the air (we live on the north east coast in durham so that’s often), or if it’s raining, she won’t go outside at all, not even for a wee, she can keep it in for hours and I know that’s not good. She hasn’t messed in the house since the day after we brought her home. (Poppet’s 2 on 29 July by the way, if it helps) She’s finally not as scared of things so we’re wanting to start training her. She’s housetrained so that’s a good start, but now We need to teach sit, stay etc. I’m disabled and can’t walk her on my left side, does this matter? My husband lets her onto which side suits her as we read to let her take the lead if there’re unsure and when they stop, stop with them and not coax them. Once they’re ready to move they will. I’m working my way through your videos and learning a lot even after the first 6, thanks 🙏

Awesone stuff my staffy is built like a tank 26 months old pulls like a steam train need to start addressees these issues

[@jojozepofthejungle2655]

It starts with people pulling the dog away from sniffing, so encourage sniffing because it's like reading, and the sequel to that book is at the next tree. I call it the dog telegraph system. Anyhoo, the more they are focused on something, the less they will learn pulling. When done young, a staffie will follow rather than lead. All staffies have adhd-I the "I" means innateness. Lots of walks at leash free areas, using the commands while the dogs off leash.if older, like a rescue dog, I stop if the leash is pulled and will only move forward when it is loose.

[@angr3819]

I had a Staff literally dumped on me when he was two years old. House trained but not much else. Jumped up at people almost knocking them over. Too joyous to see even the meter reader. Usually wanted to attack other dogs be they male, female, big or small, even puppies. Pulled terribly. 2008 when banksters did their great fraud and were given the pension money people had paid stamps and SERPS for. Lots of animals were going to rescue centres and being put down. Even horses were being put to sleep. After being told by the local RSPCA that the breed was almost impossible to rehome and rescue centres were putting them down, I knew I was stuck with him. Not many people can bear with training a dog who had been allowed such undesirable behaviour for two years so there was no point asking around. If I had advertised him then he would probably have become either a fighting dog or bait. I resigned myself to training a second dog who had never been taught. The method I use is to have the dog sit every time s/he pulls, even if it is every other step. After waiting for half a minute I say 'walk' but of course keep the lead short enough that s/he is at heel. At first it was literally every other step I had him stop and sit. He was a bit thick compared to my previous dogs so it took a while before it sank in that he would take more steps if he didn't pull but it eventually sank in. It took weeks to walk circa 100 yards without him pulling. I did the same whenever I saw a dog coming toward us. As soon as the oncoming dog was around 4 yards away I would have Charlie sit, ensuring we were on the inside of the pavement with him nearest garden walls so the other dog was walked the other side of me, away from him. Same with jumping up at people. I also used a soft rope 'choker' lead which didn't choke the way metal ones do. Sometimes I had to bend down and loosen it if he did pull a little. In fact I bought 3 and knotted them together so I could give him a lot of slack in the park but ease him back quite fast if necessary. Better than a clumpy and weak retractable lead. I would also say a well fitting face halti worked on my previous girl immediately prior to Charlie. People often think they are cruel but they don't hurt at all as they work on the same principle as horse reins. As long as they aren't too tight or too loose. I have seen the chest halti seem to work reasonably well too. Overall the stop and sit method worked best. A dog becomes fed up with it and when s/he figures out that if they don't pull or rear at other dogs they don't have to stop and sit, they become a joy to walk with :)

[@NefBZA0999]

love the sound of the sit and wait method..if that doesn't work it'll be the tried and trusted Halti (other halters are available)..nice 1..👍..🖖..🐾🐾..🐾🐾..

We are having problems with our 14 month old staffy she walks the same way everyday (2 a day) however, when we try to take a different root she digs her heels in and refuses to change direction. This is so frustrating as I so wanted to be able to take her to collect my daughters from school but as soon as we leave our drive the only way she will go is across the road to her usual route. She is fantastic in the car if we take her to new places she jumps out and if I drive half way to collect my daughter in the car she will jump and walk but the minute we try and take a different road which we don’t normally take she sits and pulls to the way she wants to go. We had an incident when she actually managed to get out of her harness and nearly ran into the busy road. That really scared me. She isn’t treat driven so no matter what high value treat we take with us she isn’t interest. Any advice would be great fully received. Thank you

One is smaller than the other and he is the one that goes at the other and he takes him. He would be the alfa, eventhoe he is the smaller. He is a little jealous I think. They have aggressive play with each other and the smallest one would win if I did not separate them. My guestion is why are they so aggressive with each other? And why so loving with me?

The last person is leaving just before 9am and the first is coming back just before 3pm. I'm worried that this could be an issue and could lead to a lot of house damage related problems. What advises can you give. What's the "save" time that the staffy can spend alone? I don't want the dog to suffer because of me.

As an American with a Rottie and a pit bull who have been a breeze to train, my staffy is driving me mad🤪She is 7mo old, I get the whole adolescence stage is difficult, I've dealt with it with multiple breeds. BUT good grief, the peeing accidents she still is having is absolutely absurd, along with the incessant chewing... And I get it, they are high energy and need an outlet for it... My Rottie is quite the opposite and I realize the differences in breeds! My great granny showed and bred Terriers like the Kerry Blue Terrier, most of her life and even went to Westminster every year! So I've come to the conclusion that perhaps this breed just isn't for me🤷🏻‍♀️I can't even pet her without her trying to nip me (playfully) which I've corrected every single time, to no avail. Everything is a game to her, either that or she is scared for her life for no reason, there is no in-between! Or do I just have to wait it out? Please y'all, tell me it gets better, for now I'll handle her like the unruly toddler that she is!😫🤪🤣

He is 14 months old and appears to have been abused by his original owners and then just dropped in the city. He was picked up by animal control and spent 3 plus months in a shelter. Everyone was afraid to give him a chance because of size, he is 85 lbs of solid muscle and can run 40 plus mph at full speed. He is a love bug most of the time but does get excited some.

Hmm yes, pulling very common in bull breeds on walks. All mine did but I can handle them and don't mine them to build muscle. My amstaff tires in 10min of high energy pulling then he waddles rest of the way. Haha

[@wings6680]

Mine too 😅

[@X_Y_Z2024]

Same

[@homestylehaven545]

Isn't he then dominating you?

[@DymphnaAdriana]

Does this walking at the heel have to be on the left side? Or is this okay on the right side as well. I thought left side might be a typical English thing, as well as the driving on the left side.

[@willathertonstaffyshow6068]

Thanks for watching! It doesn't matter which side you have your dog on as long as your consistent, left is traditional for competing but you can do right if you prefer.

I have a staffie and he is only 9 months old but he is very hard to train . I never had a dog like this and it’s hard to train him I need help

[@fernramos8657]

It's my problem the piuling very strong dog but I well try it

[@davidshattock9522]

Staffs are great .we loved ours ,but.they certainly are not the Einstein of the dog world.but can ando learn.with patience and consistency.

We have 2 Staffordshire bull terriers around 13 weeks old but when it comes to taking then for a walk they just stand and shake and refuse to move, any tips on how to ease them out of it?

[@yvonnemariedonaghey5557]

Our little George was like this when he first went on walkies but now he loves going for walkies.

[@eyemallears2647]

I also have 2 (sisters) 1- take them somewhere instantly interesting 2- take them one at a time so they don’t teach each other bad behaviour Good luck! 2 staffies = two human hands to pet them!

[@OlwenHorrigan]

My Staffy boy is 5 years old and when we go out walking the dogs my partner walks him and I walk the 2 girls 10years old and 3yrs old. My problem now is my partner passed away in august and I can't walk all 3 together as he pulls me, so I have a friend who walks him on his own and he also pulls him, but moving forward I want to be able to take all 3 out together as it's adding more stress and upset on me and I am struggling to grieve and control him. Any advice would be great as I realise I need to step up and do this I just don't know how. My partner has had staffys all his life and trained them all including the older girl and she is brilliant walking but the younger girl has started pulling now.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you have luck training!! 🌻🌻🌻

My staffy is great and stays by my side but sometimes he just sits and refuses to move, do you think it's because it's a little bit cold where I live

[@margyritchie2702]

No it's a Terrier that's what they do!

[@radicalkonrad765]

[@margyritchie2702]

My Amstaff came from kill shelter at 12 weeks. She didn't need to be potty trained. Usual chewing when puppy. Pulls like I'm a sled. My husband walked her I can't. She's 100.8lb. Very obedient and sweet clown.

[@navebushes5717]

Amazing! Unfortunately I couldn’t adopt as in the part of the UK where I live, families can’t adopt dogs from shelters but I must commend you. I watched a few of the videos on your channel and she looks like a healthy, great specimen of an AmStaff

[@stevecollins6858]

Both my Staff's are so strong it's ridiculous. It does make me hate the walks. My wife can't walk them. She has been pulled over many times. Especially my girl. She's a freak.

[@sambennett2411]

I'm adopting a staffie in the spring and I'm doing as much research on training as possible. I clicked on your training links, and it kind of broke my heart. I know that you have to make a living, but there's no way that I could afford one of your courses. Do you have a book, or something that is a bit more detailed for free? Sorry, I know it's cheeky, but I'm at a bit of a loss here. I need the dog for mental health issues as it would change my life for the better. I have enough money to give the pup a good life, ie, good food, love and shelter etc, but not much more than that for training. Should I attempt this on my own using common sense, or am I heading for disaster?

[@jalek626]

Is your 1 month boot camp also suitable for a 5 year old staffy without history from a shelter?

[@willathertonstaffyshow6068]

Hey Jale, our Boot Camp course can be used on any dog 6months+ we've had a number of people use it with many different breeds and a complete variation of ages and seen great results!

I have 2 staffys and one was pulling so hard she snapped to lead of and ended up attacking another dog

[@stevecollins6858]

With my girl her first lead suffered the same fate. Then the harness got the same treatment. I have no choice now but to use a chain choke. My wife can't walk the girl. She's so strong. My boy is getting to old age now and finally I can enjoy the walk with him.

[@Bxf_MysticZ]

@@stevecollins6858 sorry to hear that. Hope your all ok

[@nathalie1897]

At what age can you start training them to do this?

[@willathertonstaffyshow6068]

If you're able to start this principle whenever sooner rather than later, this would help stop it becoming an issue as our dog gets older

[@cheminf]

Why left side? Why not right side?

I think the problem here is me. I'm nervous when there's another dog approaches. I think my nervous leads to frustration. Any advice please. Need help

[@pokongavavia921]

I have another question. 🙂 When other dog approaches towards us say 10 kilometres away and my dog sees that dog, he stops and looks at the other dog coming towards us. His not pulling. At that moment do I still let the leash loose give him 5 seconds or less then call his name to walk the other way along with reward? I did that and he listen to me. But he still look back while walking the other direction. Help please

OH, my gosh. My AM-Staffy (she'll be 2 in 2 months.) I just got her from a shelter. She is TERRIBLE on a leash. My daughter suggested a "gentle lead" that goes around her head and nose/mouth. She hates it and gets out of it, no matter how snug it is. On a regular collar/leash she walks ME. I need help to get her to walk with me. HELP, please!!!! I should add that I live in a city so going without a leash isn't an option when outside.

[@willathertonstaffyshow6068]

Thanks for watching Tina! We would always recommend using a slip lead, it our most used tool at Fenrir. We got a couple of videos on our main training channel that you find helpful. The first looking at how to teach your dog to walk to heel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqTSg3l-hrGWea8 and how to stop your dog pulling: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoaUfK1tg7yljcU Hopefully these will help, let us know how it goes!

Some people shouldn't have Staffy because what or why is their reason and purpose? Im going to share with you about two teenage boys that have two brown and white Staffy dogs that like to use aggravate our Staffy through the fence daily at different time frame. The time may be at 2:30pm or 5pm and this evening. At 5:35pm. Their dogs literally tried to pull on thier leads and presented aggressive behaviour toward my mother as she stood on the veranda of our home. My mother did nothing to aggravate their dogs. My mother has followed this video to train our dogs and understand the behaviour if they become aggressive toward other people. Since my mother educated herself from these videos. She knew the body language wasnt safe as the dogs legs stiffened ears perched and lead pulling.

Also I have 4 acres of land

[@macciothompson8281]

For training/ running room all fences off

[@politicallyincorrectpanda]

If you train your dog properly you don’t need a lead… my staffy is ten now and never seen a lead! If anyone is afraid of this fact then that’s their problem lol
