    How Often Should You Brush Your Dog? A Guide for Short, Long, and Double Coats

    ByRobert September 4, 2025September 12, 2025

    Thick or thin, short or long, single or double coated… every dog benefits from brushing. The real question is how often should you brush your dog? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s where things get nuanced. First, why trust this guide? Because it’s based on first-hand experience. While my focus is Staffordshire Bull Terriers, I’ve…

    How To Train A Staffy Puppy Not To Bite

    ByRobert May 9, 2025November 29, 2025

    Is your Staffy puppy biting? Nipping and mouthing is totally normal — especially in Staffies, who play rough and love interaction. You don’t want it sticking around though. Those baby teeth get replaced by jaws with serious snatching power. It’s a good idea to start teaching bite control early. Let’s break down why it happens,…

    Signs A Dog Is In Pain (Or Just Worn Out?)

    ByRobert May 9, 2025May 10, 2025

    Spotting the signs a dog is in pain isn’t straightforward, because they’re wired to hide pain. It’s instinct. In the wild, showing weakness could make them a target. Staffies can be especially hard to read. They’re known for being stoic, so they often won’t show pain until it’s really bothering them. And then there are…

    ByRobert September 9, 2025September 12, 2025

    Think you need to brush hairs off your dog to keep on top of the housework? If only it that were that simple. Dog brushes and shedding are linked, but so are a lot of other things that leave dander floating around your home.  Let’s dive down this rabbit hole… The whole shedding thing starts…

    The 3 Best Dog Harnesses for Strong Pullers

    ByRobert September 25, 2025November 19, 2025

    In our house, harnesses beat collars every time. When you’ve got two Staffies who can pull like freight trains, you want strength, control, and gear that won’t give out mid-walk. Over the years, we’ve tried various harnesses with our two and even ended up modifying one to work as a no-pull setup. The big lesson…

    How to Prevent Dog Ticks

    ByRobert November 4, 2023October 23, 2025

    Regardless of what your vet tells you, dog ticks cannot be prevented. Walk your dog in long enough grass where ticks congregate, you’re likely to have to remove a dog tick. Collar or not. There are products that retailers and even vets claim prevent them, but read the guidelines, they’ll also state that you need…

    How to Choose the Best Dog Cooling Mat (& 3 Top-Rated Picks)

    ByRobert October 12, 2025November 19, 2025

    This past summer, I learned that my dogs figured out how to stay cool… by digging into the soil until they hit cooler ground. Now I’ve got a muddy patch in the garden that’ll need repairing in spring, but it got me thinking about better ways to help them cool off – like dog cooling…

    The 3 Best Durable Dog Toys For Aggressive Chewers

    ByRobert April 2, 2025December 17, 2025

    Dogs that chew with purpose quickly expose how meaningless most “tough chew” labels are. With two power-chewing Staffies, I’ve learned that “tough” rarely means Staffy-proof — and it certainly doesn’t guarantee safety for aggressive chewers. Some toys fail by breaking apart, creating a choking risk. Others go the opposite way and are so hard they…

    How Long to Walk a Dog? Pup Safety to Adult Hiking Advice

    ByRobert March 14, 2025December 3, 2025

    Quick Answer: Stop or shorten if the dog slows, pants heavily, lags behind, loses interest, or they seem like they’re ignoring commands — tired dogs struggle to focus. But how long is only part of the picture — the real guide is how your dog behaves on the day.  How Long Should You Walk a…
