Basic American Bulldog Obedience Tips

Training has to be a pleasant and enjoyable situation for both you and the American Bulldog. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, don’t even think of starting. Always reward your American Bulldog for following your orders to the tee! A treat is anything that your American Bulldog wants and is happy to earn. Snacks are the typical reward but other rewards could be verbalized praise and toys. Multiple shorter sessions are usually better than a single long one. Training must not involve any negative components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every single training session should be enjoyable and reinforcing with praise for jobs well done.
