Bulldogs are very friendly dogs, but can become aggressive when needed. These traits make the Bulldog both a great companion and a guard dog, espcially for families with children. Training your Bulldog requires you to constnatly praise them for carrying out the required dog training lessons. The Bulldog will respond to praise better than other forms of reward training. And food reward aren’t recommended because Bulldogs have a tendency to gain weight rather quickly. Its also important to remain firm when training so you can ensure your Bulldog will see you as a dominant figure. If you fail to do so, your Bulldog may be hard to control and training will only get more difficult. On the bright side Bulldogs require very little socialization and will take kindly to children and the elderly. Bulldogs are quite rambunctious dogs but with age and training, will grow out of it somewhat, but they will continue to be playful and affectionate
Bulldogs tend to stay by their owners side when being walked because they get highly attached to their owners and home so extensive leash training usually isn’t required.
Bulldogs are very playful which can make training fairly strenuous. Try to make your dog training lessons as entertaining as possible so you can keep the attention of your dog. Try to resist your Bulldog’s attempts to gain your affection by being cute during training, by only rewarding them with praise when they’ve done what has been asked. This will help establish boundaries of whats right and wrong.
Overall the Bulldog is a pleasure to train and should be fun for both you and your dog. Even though Bulldogs require very little training, it not something that should be brushed aside. Training is essential with every breed and ample time should be dedicated to properly integrating your Bulldog into your family via dog training.
