How you were able to address and rectify that problem relatively quick is testament to your exceptional skills in what you do. Very impressive and its always nice when there's (or will be) a happy ending for the dog.
You did not correct this behavior. I am 💯 certain. First, you are pushing the dog down which goes right into a dogs natural instinct of opposition reflex. You push away they want to come back! Not a good technique. Teach the dog what off means first by holding the dogs paws when he jumps up until the dog struggles to get away. Release the paws and say “off”. Promote the dog to come back up and repeat process until dog hesitates to come up after several reps. When dog hesitates to jump up after being lured reward with praise on ground. The dog learns that getting stuck in that position is not fun because they can no longer leave on their own terms. After a solid week of teaching the word off a correction becomes fair grounds for introducing a negative reinforcer to the behavior. Try that not what you are doing!
This was already an amazing video, and then his last 20s at the end when he said how much he loved and appreciated staffies as a breed, and encouraged people to go and get a rescue staffy.. perfection.
I have a staffy and just love her. She was a jumper too but learned to keep "4 on the floor " well and loves to be praised. Love how great you are with the animals. And always enjoy your videos. Thanks. 😊
Got me an American Pitbull and she’s learning so fast due to your puppy training course! Today was the first day of heel work and it excites me how quick she understood! Definitely impressed with your program!
Our rescue is a mutt but I see sooo much of her in this pup. Terribly sad that such loving, happy go lucky, eager pups could get put down just because they naturally express their love and excitement so much. Ours is trained thanks to an amazing foster who had her before us and we continued the training. But it's always at least a little bit of a struggle trying really hard to be a good girl and just giving us all the love and joy she has. Staffies are truly the best
Aren’t they!? Mine whom I need to retrain thanks to my not knowing how and breaking her of all her manners but she is the best lil snuggle hug always happy and tap dancing while sitting with a big ole smile on her face. Just so happy! She just runs around with her toy by herself and it’s the cutest thing ever. I wish they didn’t have such a bad rep.
When it comes to owning any animal you need to learn when YOUR behaviour is the issue, allowing your pets to walk all over you will make the whole thing 3 times as hard! I thought my partners staffie was a terror, turns out I am the issue because I let him push me over because I think it’s cute then he jumps or tried to eat my face (with love!). Once I started actually listening to my parter about how to handle his dog it got so much easier! It’s almost never the dog, it’s the owner! Remember your behaviour will be copied by your animals just like children 😅
Yes I now know it’s totally me after owning dogs my entire life and they’ve almost all been reactive on walks and just not dog friendly other than with each other but my last one just passed and I rescued a new one from the shelter & she was so well mannered & dog friendly the first few weeks then I brought her back to the shelter for heart worm treatment & she attacked a dog in the waiting room & went for a cat. Luckily she was on leash so I got her before anyone got hurt but I was in shock cause she was so friendly before that. I still have no idea what I did to cause it but know it’s me cause when my boyfriend or sister has her on walks he won’t even bark at other dogs or humans but if I do she is going all out in protect m/attack mode. Is it cause she doesn’t feel secure with me? She needs to protect me? She doesn’t know I’m the leader? I think I just answered my own question. Lol
Great job!!!! I followed many of your videos.. rescued a street dog.. went from chewing up the house to following sit stay running and walking guided loving leadership being friendly to EVERYONE!!! I create trained Not jumping onto the bed not going onto the couch… Guided walks and runs ❤ We have to much fun and progress Thank you!!!!!!!🎉
I have a Dane and expect I will only have Danes personally, but that's in large part because I have a small group doggy daycare, and one that works! For me, there isn't any breed that can do this job better. I love your videos, they help me so much with the day to day issues that often leave me scratching my head! I consider myself in the prevention side of things also. After working in rescue for stupid number of years, I realized I needed to swim upstream and your channel helps me so much! I love what you are putting out! Thank you!! ❤️
When adopting a dog you really need a lot of PATIENCE! it takes time for a dog to get adjusted and learn these new rules that they probably never had before. We adopted a dog that was in and out of the shelter twice. He’s a lot of work but how I love him 😍 he’s only 8months half Dalmatian and Labrador
OMG.......honestly, look at that tail wagging! All that dear dog wanted was love and attention. Another INCREDIBLE video Will. I just think you're incredible. So inspiring. Thank you so much.
My Staffy jumps too. Most of all when he got some stress from another people. I adopted him one year ago tomorrow. He's abused and they always put him in a small cage. He was only 1,5 years old and I'm his fourth owner. He is an amazing dog I love him so much. He's my big baby boy. He's always happy. I really don't understand why people this dog doesn't like because he is doing so well here with me. He lay on the bed on the couch and have a lot of toys and a hundred balls I think 😂
That's what I ran into. Mine is 12 months and the previous owner kept him in a crate because of his behavior and lack of training. I'm struggling with jumping and leash pulling but we're working on it. Hopefully these lessons help. He's spent his first days in my home OUT of the crate completely and is now going into it when he wants to and knows he's free to come and go which has calmed him down quite a lot.
Wow what a great video. You can really tell when the dog recognized the idea of asking for the praise with good behavior. 👍🏼 great video editing and extremely informative. 👌
I currently have a staffy and he spent most of his first year in a crate due to his energy level and lack of training from the previous owner. 3 days in a new home with me he's drastically calmed down and become less anxious, but I have serious issues with leashes and jumping on people. I hope your training lessons help. He's not done growing and I'm concerned about his wanting to run at and jump on strangers.
I admire all of your work. I’m about halfway done with the perfect puppy course. Such great information. You make the information so easy to understand. I purchased in of your slip collars as well. It’s such great quality.
Thanks for watching, it's great to hear you're enjoying our course and things are going well! We are loving our new range and so glad you're enjoying it too!
Aww, what a good boy! He just wanted some love and attention and needed some discipline and redirection. Staffies and Bullies are so intelligent. He will make someone a great dog. Nice work!
I love watching these videos! What a sweet dog! It would be such a shame for him to miss out on a good life because no one invested in him. Thank you for demonstrating the correction. God bless you for the work you do!
I work at a shelter and there's this huge pit mix. He is visibily 80+ pounds of solid muscle. He would jump, hump(to the point of leaving bruises), pull and even get a hold off people's sleeves. He destroyed at least 3 blankets and five towels. He has knocked people over. So a training plan was put in place. He now sits on command, rarely jumps or pulls, and no longer humps or bites sleeves. It's amazing what consistency and training can do.
I work in a no- kill shelter. Martingales to easy walks. I’m really appreciative of the slip lead since watching you and Cesar. Most of what I deal with are 50-65 lb pit mixes, bowling ball heads, bigger than your English variety
Would adopt this dog in a heartbeat, my staffy is very high energy and clings on clothes then jumping up from time to time.. only when exited. Would love the double trouble 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Will first of all I love your videos! Your opinions on different breeds and behaviours and approach to choosing the right breed have helped me a lot in choosing the right dog for my girlfriend and I. We now have a laekenois shepherd puppy of 5 months old, and since we've got him at 8 weeks old he's been fenomenal in every way except one: Each time a new person enters the house (could be me or my gf as well) he approaches very submissively (ears and tail low and bent down belly almost touching the ground) and then urinates a little bit... The weird thing is it doesn't look like he's scared because even though it's low, his tail is wagging and he chooses to approach. We've tried ignoring him when entering until he's calmed down a bit, but he then still urinates once we direct our attention to him. I'd love to hear your take on why he displays this behaviour and how we can help him feel more confident when someone walks in. Thanks in advance! Greets from the Netherlands and keep up the amazing work and videos!
My boxer jumps a lot too, so this video was useful. Will, thanks for everything you do for these dogs. I hope you and your family have a great new year.
Shelter dogs have a tough time controlling energy: they seldom get the exercise or the attention needed. I spent more than 5 years doing volunteer transport (transporting dogs out of kill shelter to foster/no-kill shelters). In addition to the attention/exercise issue, these dogs. Many may not realize that these dogs don't get much quiet. As soon as they get in a moving car they would relax and sleep. I was always amazed at how trusting these dogs despite some of their tragic backgrounds. Very rewarding volunteer work and easy for most to do. For those who have an interest in particularly breeds, there is generally a "rescue" for your dog breed. Very easy to get involved in volunteer transport to help get dogs from point A to point B (shelter to foster or to a forever home). The dogs that I worked with came out of Kinston, NC and went as far as Maine in a weekend. Also, I worked with the English Setter rescue....and these dogs originated from all over...traveling hundreds of miles as an eager trusting passenger.
My boy was like this, and still does when he's dad acts hyper soon as he tells him no he gets down and sit and waits! Love staffies there litersly toodlers just persistence is key! Mine won't even treat train hates it. Praise all the way. He does the hand nibble to only on my partner now but didn't take long just took routine of knowing what's okay and what's not!! I want a rescue staffy but my son is to young for most witch is a shame
you have to be totally and utterly prepared for this breed... we have a staffordshire/pit mix female as well as 6 yorkie males... she's 45 pounds, they're about 40 pounds in total... she's been great with other dogs forever, as long as they're around 20 pounds to 150 pounds... no issues. however, she's bred to hunt things smaller than her, and that's what she's been doing... last week went after them, one at a time in rapid succession right in front of us and almost killed one - 5 punctures in head, neck, throat, chest... shook him violently and slammed him onto the ground here in Flagstaff, Arizona. Wish we could find a home for her where she'd receive lots of love and attention and energy. Otherwise, they're very strong, very energetic, very loyal, very loving.... she's currently at a 2 week intensive training in Sedona Arizona with TopLineK9... we'll see if this changes things... if not, she's got to be muzzled at home and always separated from the others, or re-homed. She's gorgeous, beautiful, and we love her... but this is a difficult situation.... she really deserves to be around another dog that is a match against her, for sure... and that she can socialize with - it's only fair for her...
Awe sorry to hear this. And just wanted to get an update? My staffy is about 50 lbs & so strong that she does tend to hurt my 25lb other dog when playing. He’s older and has a gimp paw so can’t really rough house. I always say she would be great with a dog closer to her size & age that she could chase & rough house with and burn that energy off. She hasn’t tried to attack mine but if he were any smaller I could see it happening. She just killed a squirrel in my backyard today. :(
I sure wish I had you to help my pittbull! I'm 110 lbs hes almost 70 and no matter how hard I try He gets up and scratches and. Nearly knocks me over💙 I rescued him from euthanizing...but never even imagined I could not handel him! Now idk what's going to happen...you make it seem easy! But I try and dont work God bless you for helping the rescue shelters God bless😢
Great video. I've got to 11 month old blue staffs two brothers. Phoenix is also good so easy to train he just gets it. But Griffin is a bit to much excited and needs more work especially when he meets other dogs and people a lot of jumping and mouthing so I'm going to try this video on him.
Love it man , spot on ! Saffies are the best ! My favorite breed. I will get one when I retire soon ! I would like to rescue but here in the US they are in very short supply if any at all in rescue situation . Could you provide any info on maybe rescuing from the UK ? 😁
I can control my staffy when she is jumping at me using these techniques and she's very responsive. The problem is if we go out for a walk and she gets close enough to other people or when people come to visit she just goes absolutely mental and nothing I do do apart from restraining her will stop her from jumping up at them. It's awful because I want to let her off the lead but I can't at the moment.
@@janaehackworth3693 Well it's a slow process. She's definitely getting better but she will still jump at people especially if they show any interest in her 🤣 I had her on a harness for ages but I actually find that just encourages her to pull so I've switched to a slip lead which she seems to be ok with. Other issues include jumping onto me whilst I'm on the sofa, face licking and just an overall lack of respect really 🙈🤣
@@EddieFelson88 what I did with my now late amstaff was I just redirected this behaviour into something more acceptable. Maybe not the best thing to do, but when he wanted to start jumping, I told him no and immidiately offered him a toy or slippers instead. Much like you get a puppy not to bite people's fingers:)They can get so excited they just need to get this energy out somehow at such moments, I guess- and he learned to redirect it into finding, bringing or just carrying around a toy or slippers and showing it to the guests, it was super adorable :D Also, it helps a lot if the dog is crate-trained, so for some guests,. I'd tell him to go into his crate instead of running straight to the door and he listened, I locked him in for about 4 minutes so he could calm down just a bit, he could see and hear the people already and then he didn't feel the need to jump to greet the guests any longer. It also helps if they try to ignore him (turn away and don't make eye contact) when he wants to be too jumpy etc.
Yes I would like to hear the answer also , I think it is that you have to train the people you know how to address it , and with strangers , if you can catch the dog the second before he does the behavior and correct it there that is best , also do this with people who are not trainable , because ultimately you are the leader and the dog must do what You say 🐕 😉
I saw a few tok toks where people gave their staffys a stick type toy or just a favorite toy when someone came over and just holding the stick helped them not jump somehow and then could get all the pets without jumping. Adorable too but did not work with mine. Mine sits to start out with sometime but just cannot contain her excitement with visitors and jumps and tried to lick their faces. She’s so love able and cute but so worried an elder will get knocked down or something. I’ll keep trying.
I have an 8 month old Staffy and his very good toilet trained within a few days and goes into his bed no problem and gets exercised a few times a day for around 40 mins at a time but he just wants to jump up all the time and I’ve tried the slip lead and praise him for four on the floor but he still is jumping a lot any help would be greatly appreciated
When in doubt, get a staffy. Love it! I have 2🤣 actually surprised they havent made your list for best guard dogs for first time owners. They're on the smaller side but pound for pound would be one of the strongest dogs.
I always thought my girl would be a terrible guard dog because she loves humans so much and is generally a calm well mannered dog. But she is very close to me, so would be interested to know her response if someone went for me...
As a trainer, I can officially say I prefer working with severe aggression cases than severe jumping or anxiety cases, the jumpers tend to mess you up more than the ones with aggression issues! Gotta be prepared for anything in this field of work,
Hi We are just starting your corse and have 3 dogs , just getting the family to grasp it all , one of our dogs is a jumper do we gunna try thus one she is a bully bread , nice one 👍
I love the breed. I've owned and APBT for 10 years, great breed when socialized and trained properly, and of course lots of exercise. Socialization is key to any powerful breed in my opinion.
I have a GSD 9 month old unfortunately when we went to puppy clases a lot of the time we were told to let them off lead to play. Ok when he was small but now he is almost fully grown when ever he sees another dog he just wants to get to it to play. He has pulled me over twice. any idears
I've owned a few different Staffs one American Staff and 3 BullyxStaffs they all needed attention and they are velcro dogs. They are also very hyper and need lots of exercise. I would run with my dogs and get them tired before going home. Then after about 3 hour nap they were ready for the nightly run.
I got me a yorkie , I been trying to leash train him. He still pulls a lot. You have any links to good videos on how to train him? Want our walks to be relaxing and not stressful for him
We have a GSD puppy who on walks will get over stimulated and will jump up constantly and bite your clothes / hair / skin anything. We’ve tried changing directions / walking into him to change direction / ignoring him and putting our backs to him / distract with treats or his ball / telling him any other command like sit or down and nothing is working !! It’s gotten to the point where we can’t walk on main roads in fear of him jumping into the road etc and have to wear old clothes and have our hair up as he’s ruined our clothes by ripping them with his teeth when he jumps up and bites. He’s in puppy training and doing really well in it and we’re on the waiting list for 1:1 training but it isn’t til the end of March and we feel at our wits end. Is there any suggestions you have for us please? It would be really appreciated 😩
Hi. I am thinking of getting a staffing. She is 4 years old and has had zero training and won't even sit down! She has a good character. I am experienced as a dog owner and can lead but I am apprehensive about taking her on. She is very independent and indomitable although just on one walk she recognizes me as the leader due to my consistency and awareness.. I intend to try to train the dog further using rewards and a training lead. In your opinion, is it possible for me to train this dog when she is so independent? I take my responsibility for her very seriously so perhaps you would be kind enough to advise me whether it is possible to train a dog with such firmly established independence? Many thanks. Also for your channel. You do a great job and I only eish more dog owners would watch your content.
I have an 8 month patterdale find recall hard never runs to far comes back stays with me but don't want the collar back on treatd toys dont work hes clever tuns it into a game lots of energy
How do you correct this with a puppy and off leash running around I do this same thing off leash and it makes it worse I turn my back to him and he jumps on my back , I have toys etc for him and nothing works when he becomes in zoomies that's when it becomes I call [Demon time] jumping biting hanging from clothes , I've done everything even with treats and nothing works this has happened since I brought him home and he started to develope etc. Anyone have any suggestions??? I even did my research on him before I got him to know what I was getting myself into and I knew and when it started I tried everything to correct what internet stated and nothing it makes him even crazier!
this is exactly how my puppy does and he is only 2 months old, ive tried training him but he is so persistent at jumping in my face and biting idk what to do
Can you offer any advice what to do when a dog likes to kill other animals (wildlife), like Raccoons or opossums? Our female husky hunts and kills whatever wildlife makes it into her yard. She's otherwise a nicely behaving dog outside with other dogs and even cats. Pretty much whatever doesn't run away seems to be safe from her.
My staffie was a really crazy, excitable dog who was constantly jumping up in my face (and strangers) and would snap. I was told she was 12 wks when I bought her but the vet said she hadn’t even been weened. Puppy/older dog training classes told me she had issues. On the long lead she was great with recall but seemed to know as soon as I let go and would literally run as fast as she could over to strangers and jump up snapping in their faces. I needed help as I knew I was obviously doing things wrong. I also have an autistic son who at that time would get the dog so over excited making it harder. I paid 2 private trainers - one gave me a coke can filled with rice to throw at her and sold me a leather lead. The other one told me to buy a prong, told me she was anxious and left after an hour and me £250 down. I was at the end of my tether and even thought of giving her up but I couldn’t. One day she ran up to me full pelt jumping towards my face so I lifted my knee up which caught her chest and she went flying backwards - she never ever did that again. I watched hours upon hours of training videos and she is a lovely well behaved dog who’s now an old lady. She looks at me for everything to check if what she is doing is ok and is a wonderful dog.
My daughters staffy pup is doing this to Me , I trying everything . She barks at Me and acts like it’s a game , she pulls on my pants . I cant have bare legs , I had scratches all over . She will bite if my hands get in the way . It’s driving me nuts , I don’t want to be around her . I’ve owned 3 Staffs never had this problem so badly . She’s my daughters puppy . I keep trying to tell her it’s got to stop . She thinks other issues are more important right now .
Looking at its nails never walked poor thing. Seemed to have a great temperament though. 4 on the floor that's how I trained both my husky and American bulldog
This is the kind of dog I'm looking for. One that takes a lot of work, a lot of skill, and a lot of patience to get to the level of my Malinois mutt. As a starting dog trainer I feel I got off easy with her, so I need one that's absolutely terrible behavior-wise.
I’m helping a Malanois mix foster, and she’s been difficult to find a home for. She’s so energetic and not trained, so she jumps a lot, and is reactive on the leash. But she’s only 2 and very sweet. I have no idea how to train her, so any tips would be good. She was thrown from a moving vehicle and who saw it someone picked her up.
Loving these Rescue diaries. Just FYI though I'm new to the Chanel and struggling to navigate around as the playlists don't include all the videos. I know it's probably a big job but if you could sort into playlists iflt would be a lot easier to navigate around. Thanks
What is the difference between your Perfect Puppy Course and the Cane Corso Puppy course? What 3 courses does it include? I haven't found a way to reach out to email and was curious before I purchased either or 🙂
Hi Melanie, the Cane Corso Ultimate Owners Guide includes our Perfect Puppy Course, Boot Camp, Raw Diet Masterclass and an additional information course about the Cane Corso breed in general. If you purchase our Perfect Puppy Course, it's only one course but is the same as you would get in the bundle. Feel free to email us on contact@fenrircanineleaders.com though if we have more questions!
Thank you for taking the time to help our 4 legged children be better behaved and live longer lives. I appreciate you.

Issue is it isn't just that fast, as it will need to be repeated still for a long time.

Thank you!!
What a beautiful staffy too😭 praying the right home comes along for that little angel!!
I strongly agree .. No such thing as a bad puppy just terrible owners .
Great work!! I would love a follow up on this pup in the future if possible. I hope hope hope he finds a good home

Positive reinforcement and repetition are the key. Just like coaching football to kids. Nice one geezer. Way to go 👍🏻
This man is the Viking Warrior of exceptional dog training ! Spectacular results.! Thanks so much for your amazing guidance x
My Staffy jumps too. Most of all when he got some stress from another people. I adopted him one year ago tomorrow. He's abused and they always put him in a small cage.

Aww, what a good boy! He just wanted some love and attention and needed some discipline and redirection. Staffies and Bullies are so intelligent. He will make someone a great dog. Nice work!
I love watching these videos! What a sweet dog! It would be such a shame for him to miss out on a good life because no one invested in him. Thank you for demonstrating the correction. God bless you for the work you do!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks so much for watching!
I work at a shelter and there's this huge pit mix. He is visibily 80+ pounds of solid muscle. He would jump, hump(to the point of leaving bruises), pull and even get a hold off people's sleeves. He destroyed at least 3 blankets and five towels. He has knocked people over. So a training plan was put in place. He now sits on command, rarely jumps or pulls, and no longer humps or bites sleeves. It's amazing what consistency and training can do.
love your work I hope this dog can find a good home with a good experienced owner
I work in a no- kill shelter. Martingales to easy walks. I’m really appreciative of the slip lead since watching you and Cesar. Most of what I deal with are 50-65 lb pit mixes, bowling ball heads, bigger than your English variety
how wonderful you were with this dog very awesome !
Oh I hope he found a forever home, he seems gorgeous
Would adopt this dog in a heartbeat, my staffy is very high energy and clings on clothes then jumping up from time to time.. only when exited.
Would love the double trouble 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Awww poor baby 😭🥺 I feel so bad for this poor doggie
Brilliant work mate , thanks for saving him .
Will first of all I love your videos! Your opinions on different breeds and behaviours and approach to choosing the right breed have helped me a lot in choosing the right dog for my girlfriend and I. We now have a laekenois shepherd puppy of 5 months old, and since we've got him at 8 weeks old he's been fenomenal in every way except one: Each time a new person enters the house (could be me or my gf as well) he approaches very submissively (ears and tail low and bent down belly almost touching the ground) and then urinates a little bit... The weird thing is it doesn't look like he's scared because even though it's low, his tail is wagging and he chooses to approach. We've tried ignoring him when entering until he's calmed down a bit, but he then still urinates once we direct our attention to him.
I'd love to hear your take on why he displays this behaviour and how we can help him feel more confident when someone walks in. Thanks in advance!
Greets from the Netherlands and keep up the amazing work and videos!
Picking up my staffie pup tomorrow. Can’t wait to give them a loving home and use your course to guide me through the training 😊
Thanks for watching! Hope things are going well so far!
I wished we could hear what u said while training him
My boxer jumps a lot too, so this video was useful. Will, thanks for everything you do for these dogs. I hope you and your family have a great new year.
Thank you! You too!
Shelter dogs have a tough time controlling energy: they seldom get the exercise or the attention needed. I spent more than 5 years doing volunteer transport (transporting dogs out of kill shelter to foster/no-kill shelters). In addition to the attention/exercise issue, these dogs. Many may not realize that these dogs don't get much quiet. As soon as they get in a moving car they would relax and sleep. I was always amazed at how trusting these dogs despite some of their tragic backgrounds. Very rewarding volunteer work and easy for most to do. For those who have an interest in particularly breeds, there is generally a "rescue" for your dog breed. Very easy to get involved in volunteer transport to help get dogs from point A to point B (shelter to foster or to a forever home). The dogs that I worked with came out of Kinston, NC and went as far as Maine in a weekend. Also, I worked with the English Setter rescue....and these dogs originated from all over...traveling hundreds of miles as an eager trusting passenger.
My boy was like this, and still does when he's dad acts hyper soon as he tells him no he gets down and sit and waits! Love staffies there litersly toodlers just persistence is key! Mine won't even treat train hates it. Praise all the way. He does the hand nibble to only on my partner now but didn't take long just took routine of knowing what's okay and what's not!! I want a rescue staffy but my son is to young for most witch is a shame
Wow fantastic work Will so impressed.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks Will!
Any time!
Thank you! It helped me a lot to be able to see you do it with the dog!
First video of yours I've seen but what an amazing video.
Very informative and easy to follow.
Thank you very much.
😀
You are inspirational man.
you have to be totally and utterly prepared for this breed... we have a staffordshire/pit mix female as well as 6 yorkie males... she's 45 pounds, they're about 40 pounds in total... she's been great with other dogs forever, as long as they're around 20 pounds to 150 pounds... no issues. however, she's bred to hunt things smaller than her, and that's what she's been doing... last week went after them, one at a time in rapid succession right in front of us and almost killed one - 5 punctures in head, neck, throat, chest... shook him violently and slammed him onto the ground here in Flagstaff, Arizona. Wish we could find a home for her where she'd receive lots of love and attention and energy. Otherwise, they're very strong, very energetic, very loyal, very loving.... she's currently at a 2 week intensive training in Sedona Arizona with TopLineK9... we'll see if this changes things... if not, she's got to be muzzled at home and always separated from the others, or re-homed. She's gorgeous, beautiful, and we love her... but this is a difficult situation.... she really deserves to be around another dog that is a match against her, for sure... and that she can socialize with - it's only fair for her...
Awe sorry to hear this. And just wanted to get an update? My staffy is about 50 lbs & so strong that she does tend to hurt my 25lb other dog when playing. He’s older and has a gimp paw so can’t really rough house. I always say she would be great with a dog closer to her size & age that she could chase & rough house with and burn that energy off. She hasn’t tried to attack mine but if he were any smaller I could see it happening. She just killed a squirrel in my backyard today. :(
Thanks Will. Your work is awsome.
I sure wish I had you to help my pittbull! I'm 110 lbs hes almost 70 and no matter how hard I try He gets up and scratches and. Nearly knocks me over💙 I rescued him from euthanizing...but never even imagined I could not handel him! Now idk what's going to happen...you make it seem easy! But I try and dont work God bless you for helping the rescue shelters God bless😢
What a lovely dog..wish i had him to go with my staffie X
Great video. I've got to 11 month old blue staffs two brothers. Phoenix is also good so easy to train he just gets it. But Griffin is a bit to much excited and needs more work especially when he meets other dogs and people a lot of jumping and mouthing so I'm going to try this video on him.
Staffers are so intelligent, I’m not surprised he learned so fast 😊
God ✝️ Bless ✝️✝️ you for your lack of breed bias. I have encountered breed bias quite often.
Love it man , spot on ! Saffies are the best ! My favorite breed.
I will get one when I retire soon !
I would like to rescue but here in the US they are in very short supply if any at all in rescue situation . Could you provide any info on maybe rescuing from the UK ? 😁
I can control my staffy when she is jumping at me using these techniques and she's very responsive. The problem is if we go out for a walk and she gets close enough to other people or when people come to visit she just goes absolutely mental and nothing I do do apart from restraining her will stop her from jumping up at them. It's awful because I want to let her off the lead but I can't at the moment.
Same!!! How is your process going?
@@janaehackworth3693 Well it's a slow process. She's definitely getting better but she will still jump at people especially if they show any interest in her 🤣 I had her on a harness for ages but I actually find that just encourages her to pull so I've switched to a slip lead which she seems to be ok with. Other issues include jumping onto me whilst I'm on the sofa, face licking and just an overall lack of respect really 🙈🤣
@@EddieFelson88 what I did with my now late amstaff was I just redirected this behaviour into something more acceptable. Maybe not the best thing to do, but when he wanted to start jumping, I told him no and immidiately offered him a toy or slippers instead. Much like you get a puppy not to bite people's fingers:)They can get so excited they just need to get this energy out somehow at such moments, I guess- and he learned to redirect it into finding, bringing or just carrying around a toy or slippers and showing it to the guests, it was super adorable :D Also, it helps a lot if the dog is crate-trained, so for some guests,. I'd tell him to go into his crate instead of running straight to the door and he listened, I locked him in for about 4 minutes so he could calm down just a bit, he could see and hear the people already and then he didn't feel the need to jump to greet the guests any longer. It also helps if they try to ignore him (turn away and don't make eye contact) when he wants to be too jumpy etc.
Yes I would like to hear the answer also , I think it is that you have to train the people you know how to address it , and with strangers , if you can catch the dog the second before he does the behavior and correct it there that is best , also do this with people who are not trainable , because ultimately you are the leader and the dog must do what You say 🐕 😉
I saw a few tok toks where people gave their staffys a stick type toy or just a favorite toy when someone came over and just holding the stick helped them not jump somehow and then could get all the pets without jumping. Adorable too but did not work with mine. Mine sits to start out with sometime but just cannot contain her excitement with visitors and jumps and tried to lick their faces. She’s so love able and cute but so worried an elder will get knocked down or something. I’ll keep trying.
I have an 8 month old Staffy and his very good toilet trained within a few days and goes into his bed no problem and gets exercised a few times a day for around 40 mins at a time but he just wants to jump up all the time and I’ve tried the slip lead and praise him for four on the floor but he still is jumping a lot any help would be greatly appreciated
When in doubt, get a staffy. Love it! I have 2🤣 actually surprised they havent made your list for best guard dogs for first time owners. They're on the smaller side but pound for pound would be one of the strongest dogs.
I always thought my girl would be a terrible guard dog because she loves humans so much and is generally a calm well mannered dog. But she is very close to me, so would be interested to know her response if someone went for me...
How would i achieve this with a bigger dog, like a German shepherd… (pushing him off is a bit harder since he is big and quite strong)?
Superb vid! Thank you
Awww he seemed a nice dog while sat, what a bloody shame! I hope he gets a home. He loved the praise too xx
As a trainer, I can officially say I prefer working with severe aggression cases than severe jumping or anxiety cases, the jumpers tend to mess you up more than the ones with aggression issues! Gotta be prepared for anything in this field of work,
Worst jumping ever? My dog says “hold my beer”.😂
Now, how would you do that without leadpressure with a slip lead?
Great video!
Thanks for watching!!
This is awesome to watch. Nice job!
Hi
We are just starting your corse and have 3 dogs , just getting the family to grasp it all , one of our dogs is a jumper do we gunna try thus one she is a bully bread , nice one 👍
I love the breed. I've owned and APBT for 10 years, great breed when socialized and trained properly, and of course lots of exercise. Socialization is key to any powerful breed in my opinion.
This is a Staffordshire terrier not a APBT
@@bethgill9297 yes I am aware, I was saying I also have a terrier, did not mean they were the same.
What are the gloves you are wearing?
I have a GSD 9 month old unfortunately when we went to puppy clases a lot of the time we were told to let them off lead to play. Ok when he was small but now he is almost fully grown when ever he sees another dog he just wants to get to it to play. He has pulled me over twice. any idears
Love all your videos Will
super informative thanks!
Great video and very helpful cheers 👍
I've owned a few different Staffs one American Staff and 3 BullyxStaffs they all needed attention and they are velcro dogs. They are also very hyper and need lots of exercise. I would run with my dogs and get them tired before going home. Then after about 3 hour nap they were ready for the nightly run.
Bully breeds seem to share this trait: you are the center of their universe.
I got me a yorkie , I been trying to leash train him. He still pulls a lot. You have any links to good videos on how to train him? Want our walks to be relaxing and not stressful for him
I have jumping up problems with my young Newfies, not easy to place four feet on the ground when they lunge upwards.
We have a GSD puppy who on walks will get over stimulated and will jump up constantly and bite your clothes / hair / skin anything. We’ve tried changing directions / walking into him to change direction / ignoring him and putting our backs to him / distract with treats or his ball / telling him any other command like sit or down and nothing is working !! It’s gotten to the point where we can’t walk on main roads in fear of him jumping into the road etc and have to wear old clothes and have our hair up as he’s ruined our clothes by ripping them with his teeth when he jumps up and bites. He’s in puppy training and doing really well in it and we’re on the waiting list for 1:1 training but it isn’t til the end of March and we feel at our wits end. Is there any suggestions you have for us please? It would be really appreciated 😩
Hi. I am thinking of getting a staffing. She is 4 years old and has had zero training and won't even sit down! She has a good character. I am experienced as a dog owner and can lead but I am apprehensive about taking her on. She is very independent and indomitable although just on one walk she recognizes me as the leader due to my consistency and awareness.. I intend to try to train the dog further using rewards and a training lead. In your opinion, is it possible for me to train this dog when she is so independent? I take my responsibility for her very seriously so perhaps you would be kind enough to advise me whether it is possible to train a dog with such firmly established independence?
Many thanks. Also for your channel. You do a great job and I only eish more dog owners would watch your content.
I have an 8 month patterdale find recall hard never runs to far comes back stays with me but don't want the collar back on treatd toys dont work hes clever tuns it into a game lots of energy
Beautiful, very nice
Would love to see a full time video of this. 20 minutes is so short. Seeing how this dog jumped. Did that really worked in just 20 minutes?
I have never seen any of these behaviors before in a dog... wild.
I need another staffy in my life
Great video to get desired behavior.
How do you correct this with a puppy and off leash running around I do this same thing off leash and it makes it worse I turn my back to him and he jumps on my back , I have toys etc for him and nothing works when he becomes in zoomies that's when it becomes I call [Demon time] jumping biting hanging from clothes , I've done everything even with treats and nothing works this has happened since I brought him home and he started to develope etc. Anyone have any suggestions??? I even did my research on him before I got him to know what I was getting myself into and I knew and when it started I tried everything to correct what internet stated and nothing it makes him even crazier!
this is exactly how my puppy does and he is only 2 months old, ive tried training him but he is so persistent at jumping in my face and biting idk what to do
Can you offer any advice what to do when a dog likes to kill other animals (wildlife), like Raccoons or opossums? Our female husky hunts and kills whatever wildlife makes it into her yard. She's otherwise a nicely behaving dog outside with other dogs and even cats. Pretty much whatever doesn't run away seems to be safe from her.
Mine too and so did my last 2 for 14 years! I hate it and have no control when they would see a possum or coon even a squirrel. 😢
My staffie was a really crazy, excitable dog who was constantly jumping up in my face (and strangers) and would snap. I was told she was 12 wks when I bought her but the vet said she hadn’t even been weened. Puppy/older dog training classes told me she had issues. On the long lead she was great with recall but seemed to know as soon as I let go and would literally run as fast as she could over to strangers and jump up snapping in their faces. I needed help as I knew I was obviously doing things wrong. I also have an autistic son who at that time would get the dog so over excited making it harder. I paid 2 private trainers - one gave me a coke can filled with rice to throw at her and sold me a leather lead. The other one told me to buy a prong, told me she was anxious and left after an hour and me £250 down. I was at the end of my tether and even thought of giving her up but I couldn’t. One day she ran up to me full pelt jumping towards my face so I lifted my knee up which caught her chest and she went flying backwards - she never ever did that again. I watched hours upon hours of training videos and she is a lovely well behaved dog who’s now an old lady. She looks at me for everything to check if what she is doing is ok and is a wonderful dog.
"Rules, boundaries, limitations..."
You’re awesome!
My daughters staffy pup is doing this to Me , I trying everything . She barks at Me and acts like it’s a game , she pulls on my pants .
I cant have bare legs , I had scratches all over .
She will bite if my hands get in the way .
It’s driving me nuts , I don’t want to be around her .
I’ve owned 3 Staffs never had this problem so badly .
She’s my daughters puppy . I keep trying to tell her it’s got to stop .
She thinks other issues are more important right now .
Do you ever use clickers in training?
I’d love to hear what happened with this dog. Was it adopted?
Excellent 👌♥️🐾
Looking at its nails never walked poor thing. Seemed to have a great temperament though. 4 on the floor that's how I trained both my husky and American bulldog
My dog doesn't jump at me but strangers. How can be solved?
My 10 week old cane corso has learnt sit, but we can not get him to come or recognise his name any advice would be great. Thanks
We actually have a video looking at this very question over on our Cane Corso channel: ruclips.net/video/yUDHA8P37vc/видео.html&pbjreload=101
This is the kind of dog I'm looking for. One that takes a lot of work, a lot of skill, and a lot of patience to get to the level of my Malinois mutt. As a starting dog trainer I feel I got off easy with her, so I need one that's absolutely terrible behavior-wise.
I’m helping a Malanois mix foster, and she’s been difficult to find a home for. She’s so energetic and not trained, so she jumps a lot, and is reactive on the leash. But she’s only 2 and very sweet. I have no idea how to train her, so any tips would be good. She was thrown from a moving vehicle and who saw it someone picked her up.
Loving these Rescue diaries. Just FYI though I'm new to the Chanel and struggling to navigate around as the playlists don't include all the videos. I know it's probably a big job but if you could sort into playlists iflt would be a lot easier to navigate around. Thanks
Hey Emma, thanks so much for watching! We'll see what we can do to make it easier to find videos you're looking for
Hey Will love your new products, why aren’t they available on Amazon Canada? You do know you have a large Canadian following
What is the difference between your Perfect Puppy Course and the Cane Corso Puppy course? What 3 courses does it include? I haven't found a way to reach out to email and was curious before I purchased either or 🙂
Hi Melanie, the Cane Corso Ultimate Owners Guide includes our Perfect Puppy Course, Boot Camp, Raw Diet Masterclass and an additional information course about the Cane Corso breed in general. If you purchase our Perfect Puppy Course, it's only one course but is the same as you would get in the bundle. Feel free to email us on contact@fenrircanineleaders.com though if we have more questions!
