Re: Staffies
Re: Staffies
I say a big well done too. I attended a training school last summer and 3 of us had rescue staffies (all from the same kennels) and all 3 of us swapped ideas and tips on how to take care of them and behave responsibly and what I found the most interesting and alarming was the volume of prejudice we had suffered as a result of having staffies. One of the group muzzled her staffie as he was so bad with dogs and she was subjected to all kinds of abuse on the street from parents etc... To my mind they had less to worry about than an unmuzzled dog - but there you go. All 3 of us agreed also that our dogs were absolutely wonderful with children.Re: Staffies
What a wonderful scheme and a scheme that could save so much heartache. People don't seem to realise that at a certain age children are level facing with dogs which can to some nervous dogs be really quite intimidating - add to that they're unpredictable flaying around of arms and hands, fingers etc.. and a tendency to cuddle and you do have a recipe for disaster. Just a few simple rules and boundaries and you have a happy dog and a safe child. Simple in my opinion.Thread Tools | |
