General Bull Terrier Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Bull Terrier. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even start. Always reward the Bull Terrier for obeying your commands expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Bull Terrier desires and is happy to work for. Food is an obvious reward but different rewards could be verbalized admiration and playthings. Several shorter sessions are much more effective than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t involve any negative comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every training session is to be enjoyable and reinforcing with praise for a job well done.

Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the usual training collar. Although very simple to use, it is imperative that head collars are fit correctly and your Bull Terrier correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very powerful when training Bull Terriers in difficult situations.
