Caring For Bulldog Puppies

By Cheryl Pierce


Training bulldogs takes time, hard work, patience and determination. Bulldogs are great pets to have because they are dedicated, trustworthy and most of all, very bright. They tend to think and have a mind of their own and as a result, they become hardheaded. This is definitely not bad news! If you take time to train your bulldog pup, you will eventually have the most adorable and faithful pet you can ever have. With this, here are some training tips:

A known characteristic of bulldogs is their being fidgety and "jumpy". When your dog becomes "jumpy", face the other way instantly and ignore by not looking straight at him. Then, try to fold your arms showing dismay and displeasure. When your dog senses your behavior, he will definitely tone done. With this, do not forget to reward for their obedience. You can repeat the whole process whenever your bully becomes fidgety until he will learn the purpose of the exercise.

It's much easier to teach your bulldog puppy when you spend a lot of time with them. They love to curl, cuddle and stay close to you....after awhile they'll become your shadow!

Being bright and smart, bulldogs tend to be hard- headed. They do not follow easily and when they stare at you, seemingly it is empty and quite stupid! Do not lose heart. That characteristic is normal in bulldogs. It really means that your bully is thinking over the instructions. Just continue to be patient in teaching your bulldog to listen and follow to your commands.

When training a bulldog puppy, you have to be strong, determined, patient and most of the time consistent, because bulldogs are usually stubborn by nature. Your consistency and constancy is key to train your bulldog pup. Keep on training. Do not stop, yet be considerate in giving your pup time and space. Do not force the issue. Keep the sessions short and sweet like five minutes, to start with. Then, move on to the next level by increasing the time and the complexity of commands. Take a break when you sense that your pup seems tired and could no longer maintain eye contact.

No matter how difficult it is to train your bulldog puppy, it is all worth it. When you see a once stubborn pup grow up to be a well-trained bulldog, it gives a sense of accomplishment. The hard work does pay off. Respect is definitely earned and you will have your best friend for life.
