How to Control Staffordshire Bull Terriers
The difference between a human and an untrained dog is that
humans have self control and know how to walk away from an
argument. The problem with untrained dogs is that they will
continue to attack unless you are able to break them apart
from the other dog. This article will tell you how to
control Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

If you love dogs you probably do not want your dog to get
in a fight and you especially do not want them to get
injured. The best way to prevent this from happening is to
train them early to take away their aggressive side. Below
are some tips to help you control Staffordshire Bull
Terriers:

1. If you are looking to buy more than one bull terrier you
are able to do that with two females safely. However, you
should never buy two males unless you will be able to keep
them separated from each other. Males will have arguments
that will lead to them attacking each other.

2. Another plus about buying female bull terriers is that
they are far less aggressive than the males.

3. Never let your dog off the leash unless you have
complete control over them. If you let your dog off his/her
leash before you have complete control over them they can
go and run towards other dogs, or worse, small children.

Typically the Staffordshire breeds of bull terriers are
very good with kids, but they are extremely powerful and
could easily knock a child down. Also, a child's screams
could make the dog upset which could cause it to react in a
negative way. Even if the dog does not attack the child the
parents could see the dog as being aggressive towards their
child which is not a good thing for you.

4. Although it is not guaranteed to work, some dogs are
less aggressive when they have been neutered.

5. If you are going to have more than one dog it is
important that you feed them at them together at the same
time. You need them to get use to having their own food and
not been trying to take the other dogs. You MUST be there
during the feeding because there will be fights that occur
that you will need to break up.

Bull terriers are very responsive dogs and with the proper
training you will be able to gain control over their
nature. Using these tips to help you control Staffordshire
Bull Terriers, you should be able to control your dog in no
time.
