Answer: goodmorning staffy bad night staffy
Staffys are by far the most emotional dog that I know of. They are extremely clued in animals and learn extremely quickly. The thing we must remember is: in some cases, dogs will take any form of interaction be it negative or positive (to a degree). I think he is acting up in the evening as it receives your focus and attention. The cheekier he is the more focus you are on him. They are constant thinkers so a increase in daily exercise would defiantly help to calm the mind he really needs lots of thinking activities. Being more socialisation with other dogs, and more smart toys. I would defiantly look in to a good dog walker, as I think this may resolve the majority of your issue.
