Hello, I have said it before & I will most definitely say it again you are a really gentle really good & really positive dog trainer & most of all you can tell you love the dogs you work with Wonderful Wonderful wonderful 🙂👍 all the best Lin
Beautiful Staffie reminds me of our dear little Staffie x she sure loved her ball but even though she held onto it for awhile she would always drop it at our feet.Keep up the good work I am sure that special dog will get a loving home.🐕🤗
So much respect for you! she is playful and adorable but yes if she had resource guarding that would be a serious source of problems in a family with children (or without them) and there are trainers who do "dance around" certain problems and teach you how to lure dogs away from problems with treats but don't really address them. In the past we were actually told something like "well you don't really need to pet him if he doesn't love being touched" as if sharing a home with a snappy fearful dog you can't safely touch can make sense (for both parts).
This is actually a really good video on how to approach this. Usually I just go in and see what I'm dealing with, without too much fear (or caution) to get bit. So far I haven't, but it's nice to have a better approach. I'd have tried the 'out' command early on though, to see if she knew it.
I learned about "resource guarding" with a rescue from you and your site. I decided to take a proactive approach. I taught my rescue to "trade me." I would give her 3-4 of her favorite kibbles in trade for the items I needed her to give up to me; a favorite Kong ball, a raw bone, etc. This works perfectly for us.
She reminds me of my boxer/staffy cross so much. That's exactly what he's like with a tennis ball and I really struggle to get his attention off it once he has one. Would love to play fetch with him but he never lets me have the ball back. From your video I'm guessing that's the terrier in him. I can get as close to you and even try and take from his mouth and he has no resource guarding issues. But, even for a dog that has a high food drive, I can't distract him away. I love staffys so much. Looking forward to the next video.
Hello Fenrir, I have recently adopted a Cane corso, he's an absolute dream. I'm only struggling with his dog reactiveness, due to the sheer size. once he sees a dog he barks and pulls (but not enough to drag me, which he easily could) he has also gone for his lead twice which is a new one. I do believe it is anxiety, he probably hasn't been walked most his life, he's 3. I was taught the same methods as you teach, a few years ago, but can't seem to get past the dog reactive.
My large staffie chewed through and destroyed tennis balls in seconds - but he never chewed anything else - so it is wrong to make assumptions about chewing being the cause of this dog's abandonment - hundreds of dogs are discarded each week in the UK through no fault of their own - and many of them end up at Council run dog pounds and are destroyed after the mandatory 7 days are up.
Great video, you are definitely inspiring me. I am considering to adopt one staffy from the shelter. I have been walking him several times and we are starting to build confidence. He is available for public only using muzzle. I am probably the only one not using it for him. We play tug-of-war, which we both enjoy. I can always trade a tug for a treat, when he calms down, otherwise he is very protective. I found your video very inspiring - my aim is to use treat afterwards as a reward.
Even in the modern Cane Corso, XL Bully, Turkish Kangal, Tibetan Mastiff, Great Pyrenees obsessed world - The little Staffordshire Bull Terrier is still tug of war world champion.
This is very impressive. Not many will have a guts to go and put their hand near the dog’s face like that, especially those so called ‘clicker/trick trainers’.
I'm trying to work on my dog's resource guarding and finding it really difficult. He's a sweet dog normally, not aggressive in any other way but if he gets a random object (especially in the house) he'll take himself to a chair and growl or snap (I wouldn't say he tries to bite as he's never actually bit me but its definitely a warning so I back off) or you reach a hand near him. I've been doing the trade with a high value treat/object thing, but the problem is that he doesn't value anything as much as the thing he has. It's normally sticks or tissue or some piece of rubbish - he doesn't guard his toys or food. And neither food nor toys will make him trade :s
This is how my American pitbull terrier is. She loves to tear up her ball. She would never hurt a human who got near her to take something from her mouth but she’s definitely not gonna let it go for an adult lol but she’ll let it go for the children. She’s not resource aggressive like my German Shepherd is. He’s not that way with me but he’s like that with others. But I need to teach drop it and leave it and that’s really hard because she doesn’t want anything she has in her mouth to be taken. She wants to run and tear it up and be a silly old puppy at six years old Lol 😂 have to look for your videos on that!
Can I ask you some advice? We tried taking in my Grandmother's dog becauss she is having a hard time taking care of. We think she must be a Doberman mix. Very sweet to us, but lots of problems with leash and stranger and fence aggression and counter surfing, etc., all things I spent months working on and willing to work with (your videos have some excellent tips!) But we eventually had to give her back after me getting bit 3 times. The reason why it took 3 times was because they were strange bites, no growling, no ears back or anything like that and all food related. All 3 instances involved her trying to eat something bad for her and me trying to get it away and I would grab it, but not pull and I tried everything I could think of to get her to let go, and then she would "readjust" on the object and happen to grab my hand with her teeth as she readjusted on the object and she absolutely would not let go of my hand. It almost seemed like an accident the first couple of times, but the third time she was biting hard on my hand an would not let go for about 30 seconds until I slid my hand out as she readjusted again. We have 4 kids, a couple of young ones and even though I can commit to keeping my hand from her mouth, we couldn't guarentee that our young kids wouldn't try to get food back if she stole it from them, which was the case for two of the bites I got. What do you think about this behavior? Do you think it was intentional? We don't have her anymore, but do spend time with her when we visit my grandmother and I still enjoy the dog, but am still a little nervous about this behavior around my kids. My Grandmother said she never did anything like that with her.
You're adorable, so tender with this beautiful Stella. And what you can approach to Help dogs and theory ownwers. Sorry for my english skills Love from Munic, Bavaria
Hi what dog treats do you use when training dogs I have a mixed breed jackrussell whippet cross needs some training your videos are excellent slowly getting better on lead and off thank you
I don't get how, as you say, shelters are full with staffies. I own one and couldn't imagine ever getting rid of her. Is it possible to adopt such a staffy that needs a home when I live in the Netherlands? Greetings from Netherland
Such an amazing video and a well tempered dog. Advice for a 15 week old pup who is displaying resource guarding eith the growls and eye glances towards food/chews. Would you seek behaviourist help or can we address it as his canine leaders, we are following your perfect puppy course on week two :)
My 76 lb 13 year old princes we've had her at 3 months old. She has bit my wife 3 times. My daughter 1 time. And my granddaughter, 1 time all bad injuries. Status aggressive to all but me. Perfectly, heathly I'm now forced to make a decision. Veterinarian will come to our home on 5/1/23. She's been the best dog in every way, and the smartest obays never pee in the house. Gos on Walks has a yard. I love her so much. But I can't let unexpected bits go on any longer. She is staffordshire terrier bull. I wish there was an answer how to let her live another 3 years.
Will we have just adopted a Saffie X from a rescue Centre unfortunately she is very dog aggressive..where do i start?, i’m guessing we both go to training classes. She has yet to be spayed i’m wondering if this will make a difference?
Deffo don't know what you know brother I love your channels but when the dog had tennis ball instead of putting ya foot on it, tell or shout out n drop
i think female dogs are better for first time owners because they seem to be more intune with their owners and males seem to be more independent which can be slightly more difficult to train for a first time owner
Seems like a happy playful pup! Hope she finds a good home.
She’s so darn precious! I love a staffy ♥️
I love all Fenrir channels but this one is my favourite :)

Aww. She's seems to be such a precious heart. I truly hope she finds an amazing forever home! Unfortunately, staffies are banned where I live 😥.

Beautiful example of a staffy. ❤
What a little sweetheart
How to destroy a tennis ball in 10 minutes😂
I love your balanced approach. This is wonderful.

My new best dog explainer! Thanks for all the videos just the right length.
Thanks so much Helen!
Aww, she is beautiful x
That was fcuking amazing!!!! I wish we could see updates on the shelter dogs you work with
Graet vid will I lost my staff last year to epilepsy love to watch your vids with great info and follow the cane corso stuff keep up the great work
The knowledge is outstanding!
I'm addicted to these videos. I can't wait for that whistle to come out!

I love these videos so much !! I would love to do this where I live 😍😍
Such a wise man 🤗🐾👣
What a lovely dog - hard to see why someone would abandon her...
Seeing how quickly she destroyed that ball I can see common household objects being an issue.
@@Flippokid Aaah, yep, good point!

I noticed she looked straight at you when you said "tension" at 10:18 and "reason" at 13:45. I wonder if that is a clue to what her name is.
I dont think so

Little tip. Don't take ball away as it triggers drive and chase mode, get dog to release ball first.
Ok so ya said about drop it at the end but why not try it earlier
Again you the master just wonna know wot ya think about in saying
Will we have just adopted a Saffie X from a rescue Centre unfortunately she is very dog aggressive..where do i start?, i’m guessing we both go to training classes. She has yet to be spayed i’m wondering if this will make a difference?
She just want to play.
Does she also have trust issues, like "if I give you this toy, you won't give it back"?
Bro great job but watching your top 10 videos made me thinks that a presa canario is a cat breed and the Pitbull has wings
When I watch the video while scrolling and read the subtitles it says you say "The feminist rescue service" 😂😂
I cant understand why anybody would abandon their dog. Its just crazy to me.
I am almost afraid of asking... are there any news about the staffy from ua-cam.com/video/El165XAQsiw/v-deo.html ?
Deffo don't know what you know brother I love your channels but when the dog had tennis ball instead of putting ya foot on it, tell or shout out n drop
hey Will, I am planing of getting a Staffy puppy soon -I am a first time owner- (I am based in Paris) Question: male or female?
I know I’m not will but honestly I would choose a male it’s just my opinion
@@sarcysucho5164 ok great thx, but is there any videos or links that would be more explicative about this matter?
i think female dogs are better for first time owners because they seem to be more intune with their owners and males seem to be more independent which can be slightly more difficult to train for a first time owner
@@khourytalal I have a female cockapoo but I didn’t choose . I guess people who want money from puppy’s will ask you can our dogs mate .
Hmm I’ll look
well bred staffies and pitbulls will very if at all bite a person

So lovely. She's behaves exactly the same as my gorgeous staffy mutt ❤️
