  1. im taking it shes pretty excited? thats quite normal expecially if shes been desexed very recently. they tend to fall in love with everyone try and keep her calm and introduce her to them on a lead. or crate her and introduce her to them through the crate? just make it as low key as possible and build on it from there. we have been making some good progress with ours getting her outside. only had 1 accident last week so i reckon we have it nailed.
  2. we suspect she was crated inside and kennelled so hard surfaces make sense. we are off to get some urine off as shes defiantly going to the same spots to go so that may make sense.
  3. we are doing exactly that already We are having some success, but wanted to bounce it off you guys as well Thanks for replies!1
  4. Hi we have taken onboard a 6 month old stafford girl. had her for a month now. She has been crate trained by her previous owner. no problems there. Shes sleeping in our laundry in her crate with the door open. the laundry door to the outside has a dog door which she now has down pat. no worries there either. 0 misses in this situation the problem when she has free run of the house (not sleeping time) shes not going OUTSIDE to do wee. poo about 90% no worries. she is going on hard surfaces only tiles, timber floor, concrete, paving (yay for easy to clean up!) we would like to drop this and point her at the grass... sooo, im doing all the take her out constantly and lots of praise when she gets it right, but after a month we are still having constant accidents.. should add we have sucessfully toilet trained dogs before without issue.. Any suggestions are appreciated!!!!
  5. we had good success with putting balloons on our couch to keep our stafford off. she popped one when she was young and was terrified of them since.
  6. well we tried taking her out for a walk today. interestingly once we leave the front yard she walks PERFECTLY. no pulling, no lagging and on the left. get her back to the house and brakes go back on again.
  7. avatars our old girl. pts in april this year, 9yo :rolleyes: this ones very very different from her although the same line
  8. gotcha, yes we have stopped the check chain already (cant see it doing anything with her) and worked on the food thing since i did the last post. will post some pics later on tonight.
  9. hi there we have just become the owners of a 5mo stafford female who is very quiet. we have had staffords before and sucessfully done obediance with them, however this one proving a lot different from the rest as the issues in the past are to slow them down. she's not afraid of the lead, she starts off perfectly with the heel command walks a few steps then the brakes go on and she drops to the floor. i dont want to get to harsh on her with the choker as shes very soft and i dont want to stress her out too much. just trying to encourage her when she is walking properly which hasnt really been achieving much so far. any advice is appreciated
  10. the new entry level nikons are very compact for a DSLR
  11. yes i got a D60 about a month ago. Friends have the 400d canons. I was tossing up between these two.. ended up going with the nikon as a friend who is a professional got me a price i couldnt refuse. apart from that they are all brilliant, you will be stoked with any of them. oh the 200mm kit lense with the canon i thought was pretty average. But something to play with for a start
  12. ive seen the nikon D40's DSLRs at harvey norman? for $500ish, you will need a sdcard on top of that though I dont know how good they are but that dpreview.com is the place to go to find out
  13. i just got a nikon D60 out of HK (international model) with 18-55VR kit lense and a 70-300g for $912 inc post, couldnt be happier the 400ds are a great camera, you wont be disapointed with one
