Love this. I AM that lovely lady with my rescue staffy! I too know its me and not my dog! But I now I feel I have so much I can work on. Thank you so much. Brilliant Adam x
We’ve had 2 staffies each were 15 years plus. Love the superb guidance from you. This video has great advice to help me on walks as I am so much like the lady here 😊. Ours is only 11 months old and we never had slip leads before but it’s been a game changer. Thanks for your advice .
Very informative! I was doing what you pointed out was letting my dog 'lead me' into those reactive situations because I was too focused on having zero tension on the lead instead of leading him out of there. Brilliant, thank you!! 🙏🙏
Yes, you want to help advocate for your dog and help them out in bad situations instead of just letting them 'lead' and make poor choices. Keep up the training!
This is so impressive! My 17week old golden retriever doesn't know it yet, but I'm getting a slip lead because leash pulling is a major obstacle at the moment!! Thank you so much for the information you share!!!

@@southenddogtraining1 Oh, absolutely. I've wanted a Staffie/pit bull/pit bull type dog for years now. I've done a lot of research on the American pit bull terrier, AmStaff, and Staffordshire bull terrier in that time. I think they're fantastic dogs. I want to make sure I'm a good advocate. It's something I take very seriously.
I really resonated with the woman in this video. I already have Generalized anxiety so its hard for me to stay calm. Though, I realize my GSD is feeding off of my anxiety as well. I need to stay calm and be the leader. Thank you!!
As someone who’s mother runs a doggy daycare I can say that it’s the worst thing you can do for a dog who hasn’t had very intensive socialising before hand and even then it’s just honestly not worth it…. The sweetest friendliest dogs can just switch in the presence of another dog for any reason and then that’s your dog reactive, nervous or ruined for ever.
This is the only problem we have with our staffy. And hes not being mean or protective, hes excited but too much for people visiting. I wish we had someone in our area this good at training. This is what we need.
? question? About the slip lead. Does the thickness matter? The reason I ask, is because I adopted a 5 year old female German shepherd from the shelter, who is extremely fearful and is sensitive to noises. When I got her, I bought a one piece slip lead, but it's thick, like a rope. Even when properly positioned, I get the feeling that the thickness of it doesn't quite have the same effect. Also, would like yours, or someone else's thoughts on the martingale collar. I've ordered one, and thought I'd give that a try. Lucy has a great temperament, and is easy to walk, she's just very nervous on walks. something can scare her, and she'll stop in her tracks. When she does, I will walk her the other way a few steps, turn, and do this a few times to help her unlock her brain (and her feet). I've only had her a few weeks, and know that it's going to take time for her to relax. She pretty much doesn't let me out of her sight, and if she can't find me right away, will frantically search for me. Yesterday, the wind caused a door to slam shut in the house, and it scare the hell out of her, and she ran outside. I worked with her for about ten minutes to get her to where she would come back in the house. Unfortunately, she's still nervous. Kind of set me back a little. I'm really hoping that this fear is not going to be something that's just in her. Other than time, is there anything I can do to help her? She's not relaxed enough to play. It's funny though, that after she goes poop, she acts like a puppy, and runs around a bit. I try to encourage her to run around with me, but it doesn't last very long. Now I kind of stalk her to see if she's taking a poop, just to see her be a happy girl. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you from your new subscriber in Yuma Arizona. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈🐕🐎
This video is brilliant. My staffy is gorgeous. She's only 11 months but also pulls towards dogs and people as she's very sociable and wants to meet everyone and evey dog. Like this lady we're trying to control her and she's strong which isn't fair on her. Other people have suggested a halti. Are there any benefits to a slip lead vs halti given she's a prolific puller at the moment which we are trying to stop? I've kept away from the slip lead because she pulls so much.
Tools for lead walking can be beneficial for some dogs and not the other etc. It all depends on the individual dog and what works best for them. If you join up on our online group we offer personal advice from our trainers on these issues (you can chat to them online)! There is also content and videos to watch and the first 7 days are free. southenddogtraining.co.uk/membership/#prices
They can be a great tool for certain dogs! Making sure that it is conditioned and fitted properly is the key thing to ensure that is being used correctly.
As long as he is sniffing and walking at your pace without pulling or stopping to a scent then that it is fine! If he does stop or pull to scents you want to work on his loose lead walking and directional changes as seen in the video with pressure and release. You can join our online group to talk to our trainers for further advice on this issue too!
How do you get the dogs to work so well straight away on a slip lead i walk my akita with one and ive tried changing direction and stopping and waiting for her to come back but she still pulls
You want to make sure that it is a suitable tool for the dog. You also need to make sure that it is fitted and conditioned properly.

It all depends on the individual dog and what is best for them. In the video this dog has a slip lead on, but as general leads we often use the double ended halti lead.
Think you should try watching the video again you seemed to have missed the point. And instead of trying to use the leash to control your dog, try using it to communicate.
Absolute nonsense, Staffs are not aggressive towards other dogs IF THEY ARE SOCIALISED correctly from a young age, have enough exercise, correct diet and stimulation.
💯 this. My staffie is 6, not castrated and was socialized with his friends from the 1st day he left his litter. He lives with a cat and a bearded dragon and is so respectful of them both. One of the most loving, loyal caring breeds of dog one can have in life. As with all dogs you get out what you put in.
Nonsense. My 5 year old staff was friendly and well socialised until he was attacked by an off lead dog with no recall. All the good work and manners went out the window and he is now aggressively reactive. You can’t speak for all Staffies - socialisation is only part of the equation
Question: Has anyone noticed how this dog sits, I wouldn't be doing this to this dog. I would be asking for exrays at the vets, I think this is actually cruelty the do is showing every sign of pain and being uncomfortable he only cries when he sits red flag.
We make sure that the dog's that come to us are healthy with no medical concerns. It is also one of the first things we ask them. If they do turn up with health issues we refuse to train them and recommend that they get a vet check before coming back.
@southenddogtraining1 vets do miss things. They missed my dog's elbow dysplasia as it's only mild, I insisted on exrays as her behaviour had changed slightly whilst walking with her, I'm so glad I did, I'd suggest watching this video back without sound and slowing it down and then reassess.
The staffy the devil dog??? Wow man you know Jack unless you can tell me you have at least ever even owned one??? Talking broken biscuits on this staffy dog video after bad mouthing this breed! Falling asleep listening to shit chat!!
This was a fantastic video!! So much great advice. Thank you for posting this. I love the way you train.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the content :)
Excellent examples!

That dog is absolutely gorgeous. I love that color. It’s what I plan on getting for my next dog.
Staffies can be great dog's! Just make sure that you do your research and preparation before you get one!

Thank you very much hope it helps
That cane corso was huge. Hope he's sorted. Thanks Adam for the upload. I have been using these strategies for my corso and it has helped.
Glad to have help mate!

Amen . It’s an unnatural situation and like dog parks destroys the relationship with your dog.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome, thank you for the comments and watching
Great video. I saw a lot of similar behavior as in my rotatie and the clear instructions were super.
thank you hope it helps
Brilliant advice! top job

Yeah me to it makes sense and works
9 times out of ten,
It’s the owner that needs training,
The dog is just mirroring the owner😁
10 out of 10
Haha yep, a lot of our training is teaching the owner and the dog!
My dogs are my teachers. Dog psychology is important to understand as a dog owner.
Many people say slip lead cruel...I like use it myself what's the story..love your training

This is excellent. My biy is the same but getting better
Glad you enjoyed this! Also glad that your boy is getting better. Keep up the hard work!
what do i do when my dog sniffs around? He literally sniffs every 5 seonds, do i do small quick tug and continue walking?

What kind of slip lead is that? And where can I get one?
interesting thanks
You're welcome
What lead do you use for training ?
It all depends on the individual dog and what is best for them. In the video this dog has a slip lead on, but as general leads we often use the double ended halti lead.
@@southenddogtraining1 would you suggest a Mexican halter for a dog who loves to sniff the ground while she walks which leads to pulling
Is that a staffy mix or amstaff?
Staffy Mix 😁👍
@@southenddogtraining1 Good looking boy!
It's funny how some vets give out the worst advice. Always seek a few opinions from different vets and people
Absolutely always best to get advice/opinions for different vets and people
ace

Been to Cornell University Veterinary medicine I see. There is nothing wrong with his sit.
Thats no Staffy
American bull terrier!%
@@jamieoliver3262 or american staffy?
@albisteffen5085 he's big for Staffordshire but not as lean as apbt think u hit a nail pal or mix !%
Might even be a Am Staff.

Pretty terrible to be totally honest
