Staffies are intelligent dogs and in the right hands with the correct amount of training, they are quite easy to train. However, Staffies are known to have a stubborn streak in them which means they need to be handled with a firm, yet gentle hand. Getting a dog to focus can be problematic especially when Staffies are still young because they can be boisterous and quite headstrong as puppies and in their "teenager" years. With this said, once you've got their attention they will listen and learn, but it's essential for Staffordshire Bull Terriers to be well socialised from a young age for them to be more manageable adult dogs.
