She has dedicated herself to staffy rescue for all these years. I got my first staffy from her back in 1997. He had lived with a family and had become very distressed and begun obsessively chewing his tail. When they finally gave him up his tail was half hanging off, was bleeding and stank. He was so scared in kennels that Joanna let us take him home that day and arranged for the vet to sort his tail out a day later. He ended up being a docked staffy and gave me and my family many happy memories and passed away in 2008 having had a very happy rest of his life. Joanna really does deserve some amazing public recognition for her work.Hiedi Larter (nee Andrews)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008632143615292951.post-39206631354712096432012-06-28T10:47:38.098-07:002012-06-28T10:47:38.098-07:00It sounds like a backwards training programme is n...It sounds like a backwards training programme is needed.<br />Start off by putting the new toileting material in his usual toileting place and rewarding him for using it, then gradually bring it in doors. <br /><br />Danny might find it easier to transfer to indoor toileting if the new material is as close to the type of surface he is used to going on as possible, if it's grass, try taking up a lump of grass and putting it in something like a cat litter tray, if this insn't possible try grass clippings with a puppy pad underneath. Use the same principle with whatever type of surface he is used to.<br /><br />Olwen Turns MAPDT 1093Cloverleafk9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02068277245915684036noreply@blogger.com
