thank you. i have read the link. problem with april is i cant drag her away from a dog that is walking towards us, they walk quicker than me. i do have mobility problems. if i take her and a dog is walking our way i have nowhere to go so neither does april. even in my flat if she sees a dog down the...

i am fostering a 4 year old staffie x rottie, she is an amazing girl considering her bad start in life. when on a walk she is great until she sees another dog. she barks, snarls,growls, lunges forward and then backs up. she goes crazy i have found holding her harness helps to stop her jumping all ov...

thank you. that reaffirms what we at the rescue and my local pet shop say. putting a muzzle wont help. if she was aggressive i would have no chance of stopping her attacking dogs. i can let her off the lead and she plays. she does get over excited and i think i panic a bit which she must be picking ...

i started fostering for a rescue centre in july and my first dog was a gorgeous staffie cross that was so excitable and spoilt that i had to retrain her. she had no impulse control and thought dustie come here was just a suggestion. jumped up everyone. went in peoples cars or houses if door was open...
