For More About Dog Training,
I would like to know how can I Stop my Staffy from barking when she is playing with her Staffy ball that’s the only time she barks ???
I have tried taking it off her making her sit and wait until she calms down then I give her the ball back but she still barks at it again
I know it’s probably annoying you, but it’s so cute at the same time. It sounds like she really loves the ball and gets (overly?) excited when playing with it. I’d suggest visiting Doggy Dan’s dog training website to get help with this. I’ll give you the link below. Also, I happened to find a website all about Staffy’s that you might find help on and enjoy.

I have browsed throw a few things while working today and hope to have more time to look into more of your articles Debra. We have a mini aussiedoodle that is going to be 11 months old soon. She is an amazing dog that is so smart but we still need a few things that we to work on. Recall, some nipping and jumping when she is very excited. I look forward to watching your videos and reading more on these things.
Hi Lynette! I’m so glad you found me. An Aussiedoodle – seriously, could it get any cuter? My best recommendation for puppy training is a program called, “The Puppy Coach” from Professional Dog Trainer and Behavioral Specialist, Doggy Dan. It’s only $19 and includes tons of his best puppy training from all of his different puppy training programs. It’ll save you a ton of searching for puppy training help. Please come back and let me know how you make out! Debra Here’s the link: https://PeopleLovingAnimals.com/PuppyCoach
My almost 4 year old beagle is afraid of my two year old grand daughter because she is mean to him. He could also be a little jealous having to share my attention. This has just started a couple months ago. He does not get aggressive towards her but today he also peed on her favorite chair and does not normally potty in the house and he looked straight at me when he did it, if I touch him while he is sleeping he gets aggressive . How do I fix this my grand daughter is spending to much time doing a time out in the chair he peed on. We need help!
Hi Dixie,
Thanks for reaching out. I’ll do the best I can to help you. I’ll just rattle off what I’m thinking…forgive me if I don’t make sense…lol
Here are my thoughts:
Here are two articles I found on how to teach your granddaughter to be nice to the dog. I think that needs to be addressed right away.

I also have a free tutorial from Doggy Dan, the dog trainer I recommend on my site, about getting kids involved in dog training. I know your granddaughter is young, but it may help give you ideas on how to handle things:

I’m not trying to sell you anything, but Doggy Dan has super easy and affordable training to help with the aggression and helping the dog to feel calm and at ease. Sounds like there’s some anxiety going on with him. The peeing on her chair is likely not what you think. Dogs don’t think in terms of anger or revenge of any sort. The behaviors you’re describing – the peeing, aggression, possibly being jealous – all say the dog feels insecure or fearful or anxious. It sounds like he really doesn’t know how to handle this.
The dog training program is called The Dog Calming Code. It’s easy to follow, I think it costs $37 or $47. It has a money back guarantee. This training solves aggression, anxiety, insecurity, fear…I highly recommend it. It will help your dog to handle things better and feel more calm and secure in this, or any situation. Here’s the link:

That’s all I can think of for now. I think, until you get ahold of this situation, it may be wise to keep the dog and your granddaughter separated if possible. She needs to learn how to treat him, and he seems to need help learning how to cope with her! It’s best to avoid anything bad happening. I hope the info I’m giving you helps both of your little sweeties!
Please feel free to come back and keep me posted. I just said a prayer for this situation. Debra
PS I had a Beagle named Daisy many years ago. I loved her immensely.
