General English Bulldog Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for both you and your English Bulldog. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even begin. Always reward your English Bulldog for obeying your orders expeditiously! A prize is anything that your English Bulldog wants and is happy to earn. Edible treats are an obvious reward but other prizes could be verbal admiration and playthings. Several shorter sessions are usually more effective than a long one. Training should not contain any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every single training opportunity is to be enjoyed and confidence-building with treats for each job well done.

Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the usual training collar.

Head collars are pretty much more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are very effective when controlling English Bulldogs in tricky situations.
