is in a world of her own!!! refuses to listen lol is just too busy to do anything!!! any suggestions? my staffie male pup, on the other hand, is just soooooo layed back and is so easy to train. BIG difference in them both

Well.....it sounds like you have some detective work to do. You'll have to find what motivates her, what does she like the best of anything in the whole wide world. LOL. If it's extra special treats, some special toy....whatever. It has to be something she really, truly wants......badly. Then also you have to make whatever it is you want her to do VERY enticing and fun.

Be sure she's not all wound up by giving her enough exercise for her age.

Some dogs just need more enthusiasm and motivation going on than others.

They are all individuals for sure, even within the breed. So, don't be suprised that your girl and your boy are different. There are sometimes vague differences in the two sexes also...different with different breeds. (so they say)

Has she had her hearing checked??

How old is she and a good question by digger has she had her hearing checked?

Karen

right first i'd like to apollogise for not replying sooner, could not log in!!! thanks for replying. I've had a complete vet check on keisha, she knows the sound of the food barrell when i shake it at meal times lol. She is only a baby, 13 weeks now. sooooo dizzy and extremely busy!!!!!

Hello again,

When doesn't she listen? for example is it when you are trying to stop her doing what SHE wants to do. Or is it when you just generally speak to her?

I also have a 16 week Staffie bitch and she also doen't listen to a word that we say!!

She is a real little madam and very stubborn and she will only do what she whats to do, which is mainly eat!!! She is a little barrell and unless food is involved she doesnt want to know...

;)

My staffi is 16 weeks too, a bitch, but she doesn't eat allot. I've just looked after my brother-in-laws staffi, a dog, for the weekend, while 'da men folk' went camping...left me to clean lots of poop up...lol...but he ate loads more than her and he is only 11 weeks old? For breakfast she has either 1/2 a tin of rice pudding, 1 weetabix or 1 scrambled egg with toast and a bit of ham, but it's there all day, till I give her her tea, which is beta puppy mix with mackerel, liver or chicken, she eats that but takes her ages??? I don't give her big portions; the beta is 1/2 a mug full...so I don't know why she doesn't eat as much. But she has a nice coat, and isn't under weight, so I probably worrying about nowt...???...lol...as for listening, she does when she wants too...lol

we nicknamed our staffy puppy The tazmanian devil as she was so naughty and unruly
but she soon got over this .she is now so georgeous and cuddly. oh and good behaved.
