    The

    Stafford Shire Bull

    The Old Fashioned Bull dog was a fierce, courageous animal used in the sports of bear and
    bull baiting as early as the mid sixteenth century

    Breed History

    In 1935 the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was recognized by the Kennel Club in England and enthusiasts were able to conduct conformation matches. The sport of dogfighting had long been made illegal and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier had evolved into a dog of such temperament as to make him a fine pet and companion and a worthy show dog.

    The dog which this produced, averaging between 30 and 45 pounds, became the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

    Training

    Is super important to start your staffy from the moment you get them. It does not matter if you get them at 8 Weeks, 8 Months or 8 Years old. Training starts the moment you bring them in the car.

    Build a Relationship

    What better way to start your relationship then with hand feeding your staffy. Training and building a bond with a dog start with food, shelter and structure. Provide those things and you will end up with a super have staffy.

    Crate

    I love crates for dogs to sleep in at night and for some time out during the day. This give them a safe and secure place to call their own and a place they can go to be alone if it gets to much with kids, guest etc. Make their crate something they love to go into. You can do this by feeding them i that crate, tossing treats in there, place a chewing bone for them to have fun with while in there. And yes. You do have to close the door. they will be fine and give you more from it. During the day i would not leave them in there for longer than 4 hours. Less for puppies as they need to pee and poop. For adults the same thing. At night they can go in there from bed time 8.30pm or so till the next morning. Once again puppies will need to go out during the day. But this will also give you a perfect tool to house train your puppy or adult staffy.

    Housing

    Make sure its safe and secure. Weather its a dog house or under the covers you need to make sure its weather appropriate. Warm in winter, cool in summer.

    Start NOW

    Build the relationship with food, pats and playing games. Start shaping the behaviour you actually want. Teach them how to sit, lay down, come to you with food at the start and we can always add some (Well you still have to do it) after.

    Socialise

    Take them everywhere you would want them to go when adults. If already grown then take them with you but make sure with adult there is no pulling on lead, no sniffing the ground or stopping to pee or poop until you tell them. Yes that means a grown dog can wait for 10-15 mins to do any of that in every walk.. you are leading not them.

    Be a Leader

    Wheather you like it or not dogs follow leadership or if you wont give it to them they will show you leadership and you will be subordinate to them. From the start we start to shape behaviour with food.. But it can not stop there. We must create leadership but having them wait for things such as food, not pull on lead, staying on their bed until you tell them its ok to come off for starters. Each dog will require something based around these simple ideas but tailoring to an adult dog will require some guidance.

    Create Calmness

    This is my favourite thing in dogs. To many people create these dogs with hi anxious behaviours, over the top excitement thinking its a happy loyal dog. Could not be further from truth. Creating a calm, loyal animal takes a little work each day with what i have written above. Follow at least this basic outline and start to see the beauty in a dog / human relationship.

      James has a wonderful persona and aura that makes you and your dog feel at ease. I adopted a rescue pup who needed to... work through a few issues. I was starting to get a bit worried about his behaviour. However, after the first session with James, all my anxieties and worries about my dog where gone. I knew we had it under control, and that this training would be life changing for both me and the dog. I am very happy to say, I now have a wonderful and easy dog. I can take him everywhere and anywhere. I highly recommend James' professional training methods and services.read more

      10/10 🌟We have bought our very large and excitable 40kg puppy and our other 3-year old dog that we have more... recently homed in for some lead training, guidance and integration techniques.Couldn’t recommend James more. His extensive knowledge and willingness to help is commendable. From our first point of communication with him, he gave us advice over the phone without trying to ‘sell’ anything. He is a genuine, down to earth guy who really knows what he is doing. If you practice what he preaches in your sessions you will find he is worth every penny and more 👍read more

      James had excellent communication right through the process with regular updates on our dog while she had her stay. He... gives great instructions on how to continue with the training and we have had follow up training sessions to work on and review what I have been doingread more

      James is giving me great training for my dog. I have confidence that he will b able to help my dog with social anxiety... where he feels threatened and lashes out at people. I am still in training currently but what we have done so far as help a lot and can see the anxiety going down. James as a person is very caring towards dogs which is so important to me. He takes the time to speak about your dog and never tries to rush the conversation even when I call him other then our training sessions. highly recommendedread more

      I unfortunately was in a position where I had to rehome my dog but I didn't think he would have a great chance with his... sensitivity to other dogs. Due to this, I did some research and booked him in for The Canine Revolutions 3 week board and train program.After board and train was finished, Dimka (my dog) came out much more obedient on the lead and was able to play with other dogs! I cannot recommend The Canine Revolution enough! James has done a fantastic job helping Dimka re-learn how to play with other dogs and with general obedience training as well. I drove all the way down to Wollongong from Sydney to have Dimka trained by him and every step of the way I was not disappointed. Dimka is now with a new loving family that has 1yo dane x mastiff and he is loving life with his new friend. James has such a strong passion for animals which you will see when you meet him.On top of all this, they had ZipPay as an option to pay through which made my life so much easier.I would 10/10 recommend the training services by The Canine Revolution!read more
