Staffordshire Bull Terrier: relaxed social connection supports calm greetings and cooperative handling.

Breed profile

Training group: Terriers
Origin: The Staffordshire Bull Terrier originated in England as a powerfully built terrier and is notably affectionate towards people.
Shoulder height: 35–40 cm
Weight: 11–17 kg
Coat: Short coat
Coat care: Use calm, voluntary practice for brief brushing, whole-body checks, paw handling and putting on the harness.
Drive keywords: Tearing toys · Physical games · Interaction with people
Handling practice: Voluntary short-coat brushing, whole-body checks, ear and paw handling, with reinforcement for standing calmly rather than being held in place. · Calm cooperation while the harness is fitted, checked and removed, so daily equipment handling does not become a strength contest.

General reference ranges only; individual dogs vary considerably.

Keep the plan, update the details

Train the dog in front of you: protect sleep, lower difficulty, reinforce the behaviour you want and ask for help early.
