Staffordshire Bull Terrier Training
Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppies are intelligent but they can be willful. It is vital that Staffie puppies know from the start that you are the boss and that they are going to follow a fairly structured, strict training program. The consistency and clarity of this training program is a lot of work, but it does go toward curbing a Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s prey drive instinct that made them good battledogs a couple hundred years ago. It’s important to reassure them that they can and will live a happy, healthy and mentally fit life as grown-up Staffies with a training program like this.
Selecting a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Puppy
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
