In all aspects of training you must be patient,tolerant and always make him feel loved and wanted. Most Staffords are eager to please, they
need encouragement and love rewards, particularly food. All training enhances the relationship of the dog to his owner. Always make the sessions as enjoyable as possible, the dog will then associate something pleasurable with his training sessions and look forward to them. You will
get more out of the dog if the sessions are before meal times, not after it when he wouldn't feel like exerting himself. Staffords remember well and are usually very easy to train. However
the habits a dog learns as a puppy will shape the dog he will eventually grow up to be. Keep this in mind and establish right from the start
what rules you will want your dog to abide by as an adult. It is unfair to allow him to behave a certain way as a pup and then be reprimanding him for something he has done all his life. Some behaviour is cute in a
puppy but may not be so cute when the dog weighs 40+ pounds. If you don't want a dog that will play rough, don't play rough with a puppy. You can't have a dog knocking down all your house guests so don't
allow them to jump up as puppies.
