This helped me a lot, I am a owner of the Amstaff 8months old,thank you man,very professional and good work!
I'm very glad that you found it useful! More will come soon!
Man this is a really underrated UA-cam channel. Love your videos and love your doggo!
Thanks man!
Totally agree mate this channel is awesome
I didn't even have a dog but I thoroughly enjoyed the video because it was so informative and entertaining!
That's realy cool! Thanks!
Me neither but when I get a Staffy I'll definitely be using he's expertise
Awesome video. Amstaff are such awesome dogs it seems like they never get tired. Mine is 9 years old and we started hiking on mountains when he was 3,he often climbs passages where i was speechless, they are such a brave and lovely breed.
Thanks, haha yes, even at 9 years they can do things we never would of thought of. Brave, atheltic an kind indeed
I adopted what looked like a Lab mix from the shelter a few weeks ago. I now received my DNA for her, my precious 11 month old Staffie mix. What a doll. My very first Staffie. Been a dog woman forever, training since the 70s, but this is a new breed and things are different now, too. I’m really looking forward to my new companion. And looking forward to learning new techniques from you.
Thank you sir! I am thinking about getting an Amstaff and this is very helpful.
Thanks mate, keep up the good work
Well Done !
Thank You for producing this really helpful video !
Time to get to work with the treats.
Excellent video!! I have a six month old aussie that I want to train this way.. thank you!! Speaking of walking backwards, I had a boxer mix that knew the command "back".. She learned because she followed me in tiny little places sometimes when I was working or doing something. She always wanted her nose there. And I would tell her Back. She learned that command out of necessity trying to help me do stuff in tight areas.. lol
Really helpful tips, thank you for taking the time to share you're knowledge 😁
Excellent explanation. Many people think that once the dog do it once it means they will do it forever. They don't realized they have to repeat plenty of times for a full understanding without confusion from other commands. Thanks for the advise.
Thank you! Yes exactly, repetition is key. If we're studying for a exam we don't read the "formula" or the "text" once and it sticks. We repeat it ;D We don't go to the gym once and are exercised for the rest of our lifes haha
This video was super helpful for me. I have a toddler and a 2 year old amstaff who I didn't get to train much because I was pregnant and this helped!
That's awesome, I'm glad that you found it helpful. I get it, tiny things like standing up can be tough when pregnant. I can only imagine what it takes to go outside and train dogs on top of that 😅
Good luck with your dog & toddler and take care! :)
Thank you!!!
I got my Amstaff about 8 weeks ago from the shelter. Alfredo was 5 months old (Accord to the shelter) when I rescued him in December. I just wanted to say I've probably subscribed to and watched about 100 to 150 training videos....no more. From here forward, only THIS channel. So good, simple and straightforward. Genius!
wow, thank you that's the best comment one could read. I really appreciate it. I've realised that my youtube videos has a few flaws in them (meaning that if I want to be able to help every dog owner that wants too, I need to go more in-depth and start from the beginning). Therefor I'm working on a dog program that probably will be done in 6 months or so. Hopfully you'll be notified when I upload my videos in the future if you're interested in watching them!
have a fantastic day!
@@InsideTheDogWorld Thanks you....and for the record, if you upload, I'm there!
Massive help brother, thank you!
Thats awesome, Thank you!
Great video ❤️ I’m a new subscriber very helpful clear easy to follow
that was great bro.
Handy simple explanation for the understanding of the command
thank you!
such a great video,, loads of homework for me and dexter . many thanks :)
Thanks man :)
Thanks
We have an amstaff
You definitely have helped us
Thanks 👍👍
That's awesome. So glad it was helpful. Good luck with your AST 😊ps: More training videos are coming this summer
This is to date... your best!!!
Thank you! This is my most "structured" video in which I thought of every scene how they should be edited. Nice that you noticed! I will keep it in mind and try to do more of these.
Thank you for your videos! I adopted a 12 mo Amstaff rescue 18 months ago. She was not neither socialized nor had she been given the love and attention she deserved. So the 1st 8 months was spent earning her trust and teaching her to use a "'gentle mouth". She really wants to learn new things, and I think that this is the teaching stye that will work for us.What I would like to find is the arm covering you use to play with Mollie. I need to have some protection while playing with Bella.
Hey! Sorry for a late reply, I must of missed you.. That's awesome and I can relate to the work that is required to get them going and to strenghten your relationship. I can't remember where I got it from. Funny that you would say that because I need a new one. I'm gonna look up some decent, not to pricy arm sleeve and type to you again when I found one :)
dude your video is amazing
Thank you man!
It does sound doable. I will try it
Awesome info bro !
Thanks bro!
Best training
Thanks and cool dog
great video and the dog :D
Thank you and thanks for commenting! :)
I have a Staffy she’s so lovable she also did a great guard dog I am still learning about her

Thanks to youre vedeo i have a new trick to my dog im gonna try that soon i am a pilipino iloved amstaff vedeo.
Awesome video
Very good video, really enjoyed it
Thank you
Thanks for the great information, can't wait to try this on Bronte tomorrow my 11 month old staffie !!
For sure, thank you for commenting. I am workin on a more in-depth dog program at the moment. Probably done in 6 months or so. I will talk more about it on the channel once it's done. I'm 100% sure that everyone that goes through those videos will be able to train whatever they want with no problem. So make sure to have the notification bell activated for that! :)
Can't wait, I will be watching with Bronte & my 😺 Usher loves to watch you too!!! Good luck, I know it will be great, you will be in my prayers ❤️
When you asked Molly to go to the store I pissed my self laughing, dude your awesome. When you walked in the orange jacket that spun me out that was well done mate.
I love Vilde but Molly's smartness is absolutely awesome & I'm loving her just as much lol .dude you're training videos are way cool, much respect you're formula is awesome
haha yea I started to laugh now when you mentioned it. I forgot about that part, but now I got a visual that Molly is casually walking to the store doing as I said lmao. Thanks alot!
Yea they are very different Molly & Vilde. Molly is def a working dog, and I been training her since I took care of her when she was 7 months old. Vilde is more like a silly couch potato ;) She's awesome aswell!
I'm working on a very special dog training program. When it's done I will bombard my channel with videos, sadly it has to be a bit inactive until then :/ Thanks for commenting so much it really makes my day that you appreciate the videos.
@@InsideTheDogWorld lol, that's all good mate I look forward to when you drop them on the channel
Du e grym mannen, keep up the good work!!
Tack!! Ska försöka ;D
Great video
Thank you!
Amstaff is love, they are very well behaved easy to train and perfect guard 💂♀️ people compare them with APBT and take them for ill tempered breed but trust me this breed is really friendly. It has been more then five years Bella has been with me and she has always been such a darling
agree :)
Thxxxx nice vid ik im really late
Thank you for watching! :)
@@InsideTheDogWorld np itz fun to watch someone youtube grow

Mycket bra video!🙏 Har du någon video om hur jag kan träna min hund (Amstaff) till att tydligt vakta gården mot främlingar utan att bli "vaktande" mot alla besökare? Hur tränar jag bäst fram ett sånt beteende? Tack på förhand!🌞
Tydligt förklarat :)
Tack! :)
Thank you for making that I'm going to try that on my girl
Thank you for your comment, hope it works :D
I like your amstaff
Thank you!
👌👌
Fan va bra!
Amazing video! Did you train your dog to “want” to bite the bite sleeve or was that something she found interesting off that bat. I have a Doberman who I think would love to have it as a reward when practicing tricks and exercises like this.
Thank you. She always found it interesting to play tug of war, but the armsleeve is much larger & wider than most toys so she had to be taught to be comfortable with that, also she had to be a bit stronger to be able to bite it in so she can get a better hold of it. It went pretty quickly but you could say I taught her to bite on the armsleeve!
I think it's a great reward if your dog likes to play and to play tug of war!
so funny, but yes it helped me out. bahaha! x+y=new trick
Your video is great thank you, can u possibly explain more on how to make a dog come to you on recall please
Thank you. I'm working on several videos to explain it futhur. It's quiet complicated to explain in a short video if you want to be able to do a recall with eventful or stressful situations that might occupy your dogs focus. If you want to be 100% sure it will be successful there is some other things that your gonna have to focus on. I'm gonna put alot of videos on youtube, I'm gonna try to be more active here. But I realised the only way for me to be able to continue this is basically if I can quit my job, so right now I don't work so that I can make a "dog-program" for those who's interested in that sort of thing. It will guaranteed be successful but negative part is that it's not for free. It's basically 8x long videos that is informative and also shows with real dogs step by step everything. Because wether if you want your dog to come perfectly on recall, or get your dog to stay, or get your dog to be calm around other dogs. It's ALL the exercises that you need to be practise before, if that makes any sense.
What did you guys think of this video? If you enjoyed it, give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more :)
Honestly, I was so interested in the subject matter that I really didn't notice the video quality.
@@carlosrobbins9178 That's probably the best compliment I've gotten. Thanks alot!!

Nice video. How old is your dog here?
Thank you for the video! I have a question. Our dog is Swedish elkhound and is not too excited about food and toys. We tried different kinds of treats and in some cases he’s excited about sausage, but whenever it’s a bit more difficult task like to roll around, he can just lie and not react to the sausage at all.
As for toys, the only game he seems to like playing is “moose game”: he runs around you and barks, and you try to catch him. So, toys don’t work at all.
How can we motivate him, so he’s excited to learn commands?
Thank you!
Hey, is it a "Gråhund"? I live in Sweden and I think those are the most common dogs for elk. Since I haven't seen your dog I can only guess. But could it be the case, that since he's excited about the sausage when he stands, and when he lays down he doesn't react. Can it be the case that he don't understand what you want him to do? Some dogs actually just stands still or lay down still and don't react because they don't know what to do, so maybe not doing anything will give them the sausage (in their mind).
When it comes to motivate your dog. As you know, dogs have different energy levels & excitement to work, depending on the breed and the personality. With a "low energy dog" or just uninterested dog, I would make the training sessions very small. So you end the exercises on a postive note but also where he/she haven't lost interest yet. So next time you will play and do some "exercises" he / she remembers the positive feelings and maybe even the excitement, and not the vice versa. If he got bored in the end of the training session, that might be the very thing he associate those commands to. Dogs associate certain things and activities to feelings, not in vivid pictures like we do.
So to make the sessions a shorter period time would be one thing. Another thing that could help is to associate a certain place, or clothing, or leash. Whatever it might be, but to associate it into a "training session". For example, hunting dogs knows it's about time to hunt when the owner puts on the hunting gear / cloths. My dog knows it's training time as soon as I take on the "training pants" or my arm sleeve. She knows we gonna play alot but she also knows she will have to work for it before.
Maybe you can make sure to train in a certain place with a certain clothing?
And also, playing the "moose-game" could be the reward after your dog successfully done a command. I actually do this alot with my dog, in doing so you associate that previous commands in a fun and positive way.
Nice tips, this is the first video of yours I've seen and am curious, what's your accent?
Thanks! I'm from northen Sweden.
Just recently subscribed excellent video.
I have a question regarding a problem with my dog. When recalling him it’s almost he looks to see what is in my hand or if I am offering a reward and if it is worth coming back for. How can I encourage him to come back without thinking of the treat? Thanks in advance
Thanks! That's a great question and it's a common thing. When we train dogs we want them to WANT to listen to us, so we often motivate our dogs with treats & toys. But when we train with treats / toys, it's a risk that a dog will do as yours do. Checking out before doing what he's told IF it's worth it. Right now I'm in a hotel, really tired after 16 hours of work. So I will think more in depth about this and come with a better answer, but I will do my best.
Does he respond good to "high pitched", excited voice? You know when you reward your dog vocally with a happy voice at the same time you pet your dog? You can literally spread joy to your dog by overexaggerating and pretend that you are happy and that your so proud of him. It's get transfered and your dog will feel the same way, that's one reward. As I said in this video. Dogs associate their experience with emotions, so I would try to switch it up. Sometimes when your dog comes, you give a treat, sometimes just a high pitched happy tone.
If you want to be very serious about it and retrain your dog. I would take a long leash. Call for your dog ( be happy and excited ), IF your dog does not come. Snap the leash real quick so he focs on you. Not hard so your dog gets forced to come to you. Just a snap to get your dogs focus.
This is maybe off topic, but I'm gonna do a video about Cesar Milan, (not everything is positive). He's famous for his (sshhtt) sound with a quick finger on the dogs neck.
What he dos not tell people, atleast I haven't heard it. Is WHAT the point is with that. It's just to get your dog to snap out of whatever he/she is focusing at, and redirect the focus on the owner. It's not a magical sound that fixes everything lol. You get your dogs focus, but then what? You gotta do something to keep that focus. I found that a excited voice, maybe a toy that you play with is helpful.
Why I like toys more than treats (generally speaking). Is because that you play with your dog, it's not just the dog and the treat. It's you and your dog. Your dog want to come to you because he associated YOU with being loads of fun. I did this so much with Molly when I took care of her when she was 7 months. That she can now be off leash everywhere.
Often when we are out walking, and I call for her. She comes to me and she's so happy. Even tho she knows at the particular moment I don't have any toy. She comes to me all excited and when she's at my feet, I tell her to run off again and continue doing her thing.
I think it's the same process when you teach a dog to let lose of something. To drop a stick/bone/toy whatever. You teach the dog to drop it, but you don't want your dog to associate that command with "losing the object". Because that's negative, so when your dog drop the object, you give it back and your complementing him. Then you do it over and over again. So now, after doing that, you can tell drop it and then take the object without your dog associating that command with always losing it, because he got it back so many other times. But ofcourse you encourage that he droped it vocally, sometimes he gets it back, sometimes he get a vocal reward.
Sometimes he gets it back, sometimes not. Then it won't be such a big deal which it probably will if your dog always lose whatever he's having everytime you come near. Then your dog will probably want to go away and be alone with the "object".
Same with recall, your dogs come to you, then he can continue being lose, come to you, continue being lose. If your always putting your dog on a leash when you do a recall, it won't be as motivating for your dog to come.
Your dog is smart. Smart dogs often "calculate", "Is it worth it".
I hope I make sense with this long "novel".
You can even try what I sometimes do, when your dog comes on recall, you complement with a excited voice and you run along sides your dog and let him be lose again. Then you can call for your dog again and run the other way.
Try to associate recalling with something other than treats is basically what I'm saying.
I don't know how good your dog is with recall, if he's refusing, you can correct that with a quick tension on the leash, then you can be all excited again. Don't be afraid to correct your dog and don't be afraid to look weird when you pretend that you won a billion dollars when your dogs come to you :D
Hit me back with more information about your dog if you want. Sometimes it's hard for me to put my thoughts and knowledge into words. Sometimes when I train dogs, I succeed to retrain them, but I have a hard time to put it into words good enough so people can replicate what I just did.
Thanks for subscribing and for your question. I think this subject is a good video idea as well!
Nice job. My x + y = down. My Stafford does not seem to get what down means…. From sit positions I lower the treat to the floor in front of him and he just backs up…. Help
In the past I saw some of your video and now I am watching this. I need to tell you, you are become more professional: from structure and content to the video cut. Congratulation to you!
Thank you so much. I'm a amateur that's learning I guess. Some videos I try to put more thinking into it, as you said structure, content and the cut makes a big difference. It's quiet difficult tho to do that with every video.
I guess it's a choice between quality or quantity, or a fine mix of them both.
I'm rambeling as always.. That's very kind of you, thank you!

This video is so helpful! An issue I am having is with a ball focused dog. I can't get her to drop a ball for anything, even treats. At the park she'll go after other dog's balls and even basketballs. Do you have any tips for how to redirect or get her to play nicely?
Hey! Yes, this one will require some time. Your dog will always love balls, but what you can do is to help your dog to be more controlled with their presence. It will require some passitivity training. Whenever a dog gets hyper focused and energetic, wether it's towards others dogs, cars, cats or in this case balls. They will have to be taught to restrain themself. But when training passitivity, what alot people is doing wrong, is not realising the limits of their dogs. I trained a dog who got uncontrolled energy when he saw other dogs. The owners tried to train him by walking pass other dogs. Which is a great idea, the problem was, their dog wasn't at that level yet. It was to difficult for him to pass the dog closely, so what we had to do was make the distance longer between him and the dog. We found the perfect distance and from there, we started to practise and redirected his focus to us with treats/toys / high pitch voices.
If you can't get her to drop the ball for anything, what if you can get her to drop the ball with another ball?
As soon as she drops the ball, make sure she gets it back quickly so she understands that dropping something that she loves to your hands, is not something negative.
If your dog is going to play nicely, she will have to lower the excitement a bit, best ways of doing this is to passitivity train your dog, get her to calm down. If she's excited, don't compliment with high pitch voices because it will just make your dog even more excited. It's up to you what level of energy that is appropriate for you to give to your dog.
Another thing would be to play on a leash, so your dog is a bit more controlled. Otherwise I would assume your dog just runs around acting like a maniac with the ball in her mouth :D With a leash, it will fall more natural for your dog to play with the ball with YOU instead of herself.
I will try to think of some other tips that could help. Hope this gave some ideas atleast!
@@InsideTheDogWorld this reply right here made me sub. you clearly do understand dogs behaviour and took the time to reply. nice job man
im also having the same problem with a non neuttered male lab (4yo). he has very high energy and gets very excited when other males are around, ill try to follow your advice!
@@chinarr0 Thanks! Yea non neauttered males can be a pain in the ass some times :D Either overly dominent / excited etc towards other males. My friends dog was that way and to some extent, still are. But it's all good aslong it stays on a manageable level. I hope it helps!
@@InsideTheDogWorld In the horse world, we say ride where you can, not where you can’t. That means if you can only play ball inside the house and keep your dogs attention there, then that’s where you start. Then you can move it outside in a small area. Then you can advance to playing with one more dog.As soon as you can, move it to playing with two dogs, then you increase it to three dogs. But you don’t increase it to ten dogs! I certainly agree with your training.
I have a 8 months old amerikan stafford now! I will learn him that he focussed on me. That eye contact. Sometimes it looks like he don't care. So what can I do that he will focus on me
nice, I think if you just keep training it will be perfect! If not, I'm done in a few months with a *perfect* dog training program. I will announce it shortly :)
Excellent video! Thanks. I understand what you're saying, but how would this be applied to house training?
Hey, thanks! With house training, do you mean how to apply it to getting your dog "house-clean" ? Like, not peeing inside and such?
@@InsideTheDogWorld Exactly.
@@a.davidulvog2535 Alright. So here you will have to make your dog to associate peeing --> outside.
How do you do that? Well, you have to first figure out, when your dog has the NEED to pee. And that would be, assuming your dog is a puppy:
1. *After every meal or after your dog drinks*
2. *After your dog have played, wether with you or by himself* (After being active basically)
3. *After every single nap* (first thing in the morning and before bed and probably sometime during the night)
It takes alot of awareness, but if you KNOW when your dog will need to pee, you will make your dog associate peeing outside. Because when your dog NEEDS to pee, you take him/her outside, and when your dog pees outside, you reward that behaviour with a treat or just vocally.
*Never be angry at your dog if peeing inside. If you have expensive furniture, don't let your dog be there.*
Hope this help, let me know if there is anything else :)
@@InsideTheDogWorld Thank you for your kind reply!
i have an important question: im adopting a 6 year old amstaff in about a month. how hard is it to train him to do basic things like lay down in his basket or to not play too roughly with his teeth?
Hello! Im super sorry for a late response. I've been taking a longer break to work on a dog program. basically so I can easily answer all the questions I get by pointing to the program.
Have you gotten your question under control?
Hello , i would like to ask a silly question regarding the amstaff... Your dog looks stunning with those beautiful standing ears , are they naturaly like that?
Hey! Yes they are natural. Some people bend their dogs ears with tape when they are a puppy, some are cropping the ears. My Amstaff has untouched, natural ears! Thanks for asking 😊
I wish to get an amstaff as Well and your videos have been very informative so thank you for that ! I wish my amstaff to have naturally standing ears like yours , what do I have to look out for ? Almost all puppies I see have they ears down , are they born like that or a result of tape ? Thanks in advance !
@@johannesalta290 thank you that's awesome. I will try my best to do more training videos. Hmm. I Think it's 50/50 wether they get standing ears or upstanding. Some Amstaffs that have upstanding ears have also very big ears (different from dog to dog), they look like a bat 😂
Breed standard say however that they should be bend. That's why people tape them. If you truly want upstanding ears, look at the parents. Just know that some Amstaffs ears get bend with time, it's 50/50 (I Think)
I just took in a 3 year old staffy from a friend who could not longer keep her she has adjusted really well but has never had toys or balls. Any suggestions on how to get her interested in play?
Hello. I just got a simular question so I'm going to copy-paste it. If it doesn't do, pls tell me :)
I'm currently working on a few videos that has nothing to do with this. I have been inactive on youtube which will change now bigtime. So my first videos will be explaining the future for this channel and then some fun training videos that I do with Molly.
I haven't announced it yet but I'm working on a dog program (The Perfect-Dog Program). One year in the making at the moment. It's really big but it will be so effective to everyone once it's done. I don't want to talk much about it right now, I want the content of it to speak for itself. Don't want to be percieved as a salesmen ;p.
So in a couple of months I will release it. Max 8 months but probably less.
I will make videos about this specific topic. So have the notification bell on so you won't miss it! :)
But I know you want a quick answer so let me do my best here in text.
First off. If you're dog is not much into play and stuff. Try with different things, toys, treats etc. That might not work so then you gotta choose WHEN you do it. Meaning that it's the time of the day when your dog is not tired etc. Maybe when you're outside? Maybe when she/he just woke up? before or after shower, before or after dinner?
One good trick is that you use your dogs FOOD as a reward. If they just ate and you want to excite your dog with treats, he/she might not be so interested if he/she is full.
But if your dog is hungry, the excitement will increase. Then you can try to do a few sit/stay/lay down etc and give small pieces of the food as reward.
Remember to have a happy, energetic and maybe even a high-pitched voice when you're doing the commands and when you're rewarding your dog. Dogs tend to try to match your level of energy so it if you're excited, he/she will be a little bit more excited aswell.
Fast movements, happy voice, the right time of the day, the right "reward" is important aswell (not all dogs are into treats, toys, sticks, balls etc). You gotta figure out what your dog likes!
Hopes this helps a little bit. Continue to ask if you want me to clearify something :)
@@InsideTheDogWorld thank you
I wanted to play fetch with my dog using a stick. But my dog would chase the stick eagerly, and sniff it on the ground. How do you teach dogs to put the stick in their mouths and return it?
Great question. It always comes down to make your dog do what you want once, and with everytime, you take it one step futher so you eventually do the exercise you wanted in the first place. Figure out what your dog does good, and what he/she need to improve on and start with that!
So I'd start with teaching my dog to let go of the stick. You can do that with any toy, If your dog has a toy, and you give the "let loose" command. As soon as they drop the toy to your hands. You give it back. This is because you want to associate dropping the toy to something positive. They won't lose it just because they give it to you. *If they don't let lose when you say, you could have a other toy in your hand to make them more willin to drop it".
When it comes to fetching. The longer the distance is, the harder it gets for your dog. Do your dog knows to come on recall? That would be number two to train.
When your dog knows how to drop the toy, and to come on recall, and knows how to drop the toy/stick. You can just use the "let loose" or "drop it " command on a little longer distance. start with a SMALL distance, like 1 meter. That is almost exactly like "drop it" but your dog just has to take a few steps before they drop it. With time you take make the distance longer and longer.
Now. I just wrote this from the top of my head. I might of forgot something or wasn't clear enough so if there's anything that you find difficult in what I just said, or if you want me to go in depth about something, let me know.
Thanks for watching!

Try to find the sweetspot, not to hard and not to easy. I would need more examples of a certain situation if I'm gonna be specific. But if I understand you correctly it would be a confidence issue. Encourage with a happy voice, games and treats should do the trick.
First - very nice.
But what do you do when there is a disruption that gets the dog full attention and he or she doesn't response to you?
Perfect question. You break that focus and redirect it back to yourself. Cesar Milan might not explain his "tchhh" sound very well, but that is one way to break the focus, a quick high pitch sound. Another one is a quick touch. You could also take a treat infront of your dogs nose and pull it to your face (to get eyecontact/ focus) if you have a leash you could pull it quick but gentle and do a 180 turn so you walk away from what's disrupring.
When you have the focus you gotta do something with it, otherwise your dog will go back to the disrupting thing. First of rewars that behaviour with a treat/touch/happy voice.
@@InsideTheDogWorld I guess you demonstrate it with Molly, since this doesn't work on Staffies....😂😂😂
@@ophirb25 Haha nooo 🤣I train with Molly more cuz she's more of a working dog. But mark my words. Within 3 months I will make a video and demonstrate this with a Staffy 😁 I will soon bombard you guys with videos :)
@@InsideTheDogWorld Oh I'm waiting, I love seeing Staffies make their owner crazy but at the same time an able to be mad with them....😂😂😂
Hi, I just got my AM Staff a few weeks ago. She's just turned 1 years old. We have her house trained, sits and gives the paw on command but once we take her outside for a walk her attention becomes totally focused on everything around her. She pulls, moves left-to-right and flops down on her belly when she sees other dogs, I pull her along but she has to be dragged as she refuses to move her legs. She also doesn't give me any attention when we're outside, I call her name, offer her a treat but she won't react or eat the treat (doesn't drink water either), she's just too focused on her surroundings. She's a good dog with an amazing temperament, she hasn't growled or lunged at anyone or anything. She a sweetheart and I'm trying to get her to cooperate with me on our walks but it can be a challenge. I would appreciate your advise on this.
I found your video very educating too, thank you. You've earned a like and a subscriber.
Hi, sorry for a late reply. To my ears, it really sounds like she needs some passitivity training. Kind of funny, I'm actually writing right now a script for 8 videos that I want to put together to a course. Probably finished this summer so it won't help you now. So for now, I do my best in writing.
Molly was and sometimes is still like your dog. I mean she listens when we are outside, she can control her excitement and she can focus on me when I tell her to. That required however some passitivity training. I bet your dog associate being outside with alot of excitement. And being inside not as much. Therefor your dog gets all of this excitement even before your dog sees something interesting, just because her past experience tells her that's what it means to be outside, being overly excited, meeting other dogs, just doing fun stuff in general. Passitivity training is about getting this associating down a bit. *"You won't always meet a dog, you will not always play. You gotta be relaxed and behave before something remotely funny will happen"*
Trying to control her energy before going outside would be a great thing. So you don't start with a 'over excitement' from the get-go. She can sit and wait when you take on your jacket, when you bring the leash and collar etc.
When you're outside, you can just stand still outside the door (if the excitement starts there). Just wait for a bit. Your dog will probably look at everything but you, trying to find something interesting to focus at. Eventually it gets a bit boring for them, and also very tiring. That's when you got a higher probability to get her to focus on you. It will be far easier than when she's just in the middle of watching other dogs or following a scent.
I don't know at what level you're at with correcting your dog. But being able to correct your dog is important. But here you can also try to get some focus, use commands and tricks that works inside to redirect the focus back to you.
The key is getting her as relaxed as possible when your outside, the slightest decrease of that would be a big help. It won't work when she's in the middle of doing something interesting such as watching other dogs play, following a scent etc.
Try to find the easiest place for her, we shouldn't make it to hard. The goal is to get your dogs focus when there's other dogs around. But that might be at level 100 and you might be at level "20" atm.
I don't know how it is outside your home but if there's hundreds of people walking by, maybe that's not the best place to start if she can't handle that. The perfect place would be where NOTHING happens, your just outside and that's it. That's level 1. being outside and that's the "only" distraction. Then you can slowly try to add things such as one person far, far away or someone goes by when your dog is not allowed to greet that person. It's about your dog being able to restrain herself, relax and being *passive*
When you're at a place that you think is good for your dog, not to difficult that is. You can try to get her focus by treats, high pitch voice, toys that you play with etc. But your dog might need a couple of minutes before that. Molly had to be outside and search for things to focus at for a couple of minutes. Then it got pretty boring and then I could get that focus (because there was nothing else going on). Then we could gradually build.
I hope that this was somewhat helpful. It's late, I'm tired after 2 hours of work getting my daughter to sleep lol. Just ask if you have more questions or if I didn't explain it good enough. And hopefully you'll catch my videos this summer that will be more thourough with visuals.
Hello, my uncle has working Dogo argentinos and when i live on my own i want to own a dogo argentino. But i know i just cant get a working dogo as first time owner dog. (Im 16 btw) So i wanted to adopt a pitbull cross amstaff since after some researche thats a mild version of a dogo a. So do you think i could handle that? Have experience with dogs with drive btw and have beem thinking about this for 1year and 4 months now🤣.
Hey! Do you live alone? When you live together with a family for example, it's important that not only you know how to train your dog. Because the entire family will be the dogs pack and they might train subconsciously some bad behaviour. It's important that all of you do the same type of corrections and so on.
Dogo Argentinos have alot of prey drive, they need alot of socializing and passitivity training (All dogs do but some can lead to more fathal situations if not to)
I think if you are ready to put in the work everyday and do your best with asking people and researching if any problem occurs, *you will be just fine*
@@InsideTheDogWorld yeah thank. Do you maybe have ig so i can show u the dog and his behaviour ect
@@topacybits3576 yes it's insidethedogworld 😄
I have a huge stunning Brindle American Staffordshire Terrier Shy-lo she's huge. 100.8 lb. Very protective and intelligent. Character. Funny sweet loves cats, dogs and people.
That's awesome, and that's a big Amstaff for a female :O I bet she's gorgeous
I have an American Bully. He looks more like a Staffie
haha really? I mean both Amstaff, Staffy and Am bully have a simular head and stuff, just the body, height and weight that differs alot :) Thanks for commenting
My staffy is super old
They are so cute when they are old though! Take extra care of him/her now when the age is there :)
How old before you start training?
I took care of Molly when she was 7 months old, she's a 'rescue'. So I started as soon as I got her. With a puppy at 8 weeks, I would focus on the basics. Building a relationship & leadership, make sure they learn to do their needs outside and slowly as they get older. Teach them a little bit of sit,stay and lay down. You can do that very early, just be patient :)
Where did you get her she is beautiful
thank you:)
With an amstaff you could use play as a reward
yes! But you can also do it to all dogs that has a playdrive. If they don't, you can teach them how to play very often :)
God Damn I Love My Dog
Still waiting for my dog to get back from the store.
hahaha... damn, I guess your dog realised what he/she can buy with that creditcard of yours. Probably in Hawaii atm eating sausages..
How do get my dog " go to the store and buy a big of shit, bring it back and don't open said bag of shit"?
you're almost there :)
😭🤣 you are funny as hell man. Keep them vids coming
Du är svensk
haha japp
I would never cut the tail of my AmStaff.
So if your dogs tail is broken in two places. Your dog is in agony and the vet says that you need to do it to spare them pain. It's the only way that they can be happy and healthy. You would "never cut the tail of your AmStaff" ?
@@InsideTheDogWorld Well I understand now, I'm sorry, I had the wrong assumption. I just love AmStaffs.
What's wrong with you dog?😂😂😂😂
Cringe
It does sound doable. I will try it
