A Guide To Solving The Most Common Bulldog Problem Behaviors by Bobby Callahan
The Bulldog is a wonderful breed of dog, one that is widely loved all around the world. People love Bulldogs because they are loyal, affectionate and deeply devoted to their owners. They also feature an extremely unique appearance which sets them apart from other dogs, and which makes them very favorable to many owners.
The variety of Bulldog problem behaviors are usually not limited as they are to other dog breeds, and this is because overall they are very even tempered, well behaved dogs. Bulldogs are not usually heavy barkers and although they are great watchdogs they do not bark incessantly but rather only when they need to.
There are certain problems that may arise however, including excessive chewing, jumping up and down especially on guests as they enter the home and digging. These Bulldog problem behaviors can obviously be quite difficult to live with and so obviously if these sorts of problems occur in your case you will need to deal with them appropriately.
There are a few different Bulldog problem behaviors that are quite common, but as aforementioned digging is one of the most common of all. There are a few different reasons as to why your dog may be digging, and seeking entertainment is one of the most typical explanations. If they are left alone in the yard for long periods of time, have a relatively barren environment or is a particular active type of dog who needs an active job to be happy, then chances are he is simply digging for entertainment purposes.
On the other hand, if they are digging at the roots of trees or shrubs then they are most likely digging for shelter or protection purposes. Rather than getting angry with your dog it is important that you try to determine the root cause of their problem, digging and other, and then from here take the proper steps in terms of fixing the behavioral problem.
Keep in mind that solving your dog’s problem behaviors may take a renewed commitment on your part but it is going to be more than worth it in the end. You should never let challenges such as your Bulldog problem behaviors get you down or threaten the bonds that you have with your pet, and so have patience and remember that with a little time and some helpful tips and techniques you will be able to get your dog acting like the pet that you always desired.
You should get your dog out for a walk at least twice daily, more if you can. You should also teach your dog a few commands and tricks, and always keep interesting toys in the yard to keep busy even during those times when you are out there as well, so they will always be kept busy and will therefore be less likely to have digging or other behavioral problems.
This way they will not associate their behavior problems with not getting what they want, and as a result will begin to become more obedient.

Introducing your bulldog puppy to the family cat
21 Sep 2008
Don’t be too worried about your family cat when you welcome your English bulldog puppy into your home. With a little help, they do they will get along fine. Here’s a guide on how to make their initial meeting as safe and harmonious as possible.
When you bring your English bulldog puppy home, introduce him to your family cat in a neutral setting where the family cat normally doesn’t hang out. By doing so, the cat won’t feel threatened and act “king” in his territory. Act with authority and confidence. Keep your puppy on a loose leash to prevent any untoward injury to the other pet. You can also separate the puppy in an exercise pen so the cat can safely investigate the newcomer without physical contact. When you bring the puppy to the cat, the puppy can either -run away then your cat is probably safe or if the puppy goes after the cat then it’s best to hold the leash tight and tell him “No!” in a firm and loud voice. In this scenario, don’t let your puppy roam freely when the cat is around until he understands that the cat is part of the family. The puppy may be small yet he may inflict injuries to your cat. You can also train your English bulldog puppy to “stay” on any attempts he makes to attack your cat.
Precautions
Physical place is essential to cats while social place is important to dogs. They have a good chance to develop a good relationship as long as the dog accepts the cat’s dominance over territory. It is necessary to confine your bulldog puppy at times. This gives the cat time to roam around the house and to survey his territory. For the cat’s safety, provide an escape route convenient for him such as escape hatches including floor to ceiling climbers and installing extra long hooks and eyes to prop a door open wide enough for the cat. You can assign a crate for your bulldog puppy’s safety and top of the refrigerator for your resident cat. When you leave home, physically and securely separate both animals. Give access to water, bed or resting place and toys. Make sure your cat has access to his litter box which is physically off-limits to the bulldog puppy. Dogs like to eat cat droppings which are unhealthy for them. Make everyone in your family and any caretakers understand the need to keep both animals apart.
Rewards
Food is a powerful motivator for animals. You can make use of food as a reward whenever you catch them demonstrating calm behavior and not hurting one another. Maintain the cat’s claws trimmed and short in case both animals come in contact. Give words of praise when your puppy doesn’t bark or chase your resident cat. Do the same to your cat when he’s gentle around the newcomer. Do this consistently, not just once in awhile. This positive reinforcement, supported with rewards, teaches them the importance of acceptable behavior.
Patience, patience, patience
Let your new English bulldog puppy and family cat communicate in their own language. Don’t overreact at the moment they hiss, bark, and growl or sniff each other. However, be prepared to intervene when hostility heightens. Hostility may arise since cats and dogs do not communicate the same way and may misinterpret a behavior of the other party. For instance, your English bulldog puppy may innocently raise his paw to play but this gesture indicates threat to the cat. Provided your cat is an adult cat, he may also find the bulldog puppy bothersome since the latter is playful and full of energy. In case you have more than one cat, careful not to let them gang up on the newcomer. Take care not to give all your attention to your puppy to avoid pent up hostility on the part of your cat. Don’t expect that both pets will become best buddies overnight. Let both animals establish the relationship at their own pace. Also, accept the possibility that some cats and dogs may not become close friends. It’s always important to keep watch when they interact and be patient. Who knows? They could end up getting used to each other.

2 puppies 9 weeks playing…Why are english bulldog puppies so expensive?
19 Sep 2008
I don't understand! Other breeds are much less expensive, but you rarely find a bulldog puppy for under a few thousand dollars…are they really hard to breed?
Purebreed English Bulldog pups are very difficult to breed they all have to be delivered by c-section, cause their upper body is so much larger than their hips.
For practical purposes, training should be started as early as possible. Training your English bulldog puppy to sit and stay is one of the most important commands to teach your puppy. Read on to get pointers on how to do it with ease.
Who says training your English bulldog puppy is as difficult as it seems? Some may see English bulldogs as stubborn creatures that don’t submit easily to training. The key to train your English bulldogs successfully is to keep your sessions short, intense and fun to gain the best results.
A good rewards system can work wonders when training your English bulldog puppy. Experiment to find your puppy’s favorite reward be it food, toys or words of praise. Use gentle and positive ways to encourage him rather than punishment as it harms his confidence. Puppies, similar to humans, learn best when they feel good and receive something in return.
Sit and Stay command
The “sit and stay” command is one of the basic commands your English bulldog puppy should learn. Find a quiet area with no distractions. Put your English bulldog puppy on a leash at the start of the training. Make sure to have your puppy stay next to you in heel position. Let him settle into a relaxed sitting position, before commanding him to “sit” then say “stay” at the moment he sits. Say your command with a firm voice and avoid making it sound like a question. Place your flat open hand in front of the puppy, palm facing him but be careful not to touch his nose. This hand signal complements the “stay” command. Take a backward step and wait patiently for a minute or so. Start to increase your distance if and only if your puppy stays firmly for a minute or so. Avoid looking straight at his eyes as it may make him leave his spot. Always praise him by saying “good boy” and/or rewarding him.
Repetition is what you should do to make him understand. Don’t be frustrated when he starts to get up and walk towards you. Say “no” every time your puppy won’t sit or stay. Walk him to where he was sitting. Repeat your command “sit” and signal him to “stay”. Your puppy will likely get comfortable and lie down when he finally gets the sit and stay command. When he does lie down following “sit-stay” immediately say “No, Sit-Stay”. With “No”, it will tell him he made a mistake by lying down. Pull him straight up on his leash and seat him again then say the command again. When he fails to obey, be patient enough to repeat “No, Sit, Stay” command and put him back where he was sitting to let him grasp the meaning of these commands. Gradually extend the time he will stay on his spot. Let him stay for one minute the first time and one or more minutes on every time he stays without lying down. Add minutes randomly and check if he does sit and stay. By doing so, it will be unpredictable for him when he gets his rewards and obeys your command in the process.
Puppies at a young age can be taught to stay for shorter periods of time. When they obey and sit on command every time they are asked without any food as a reward, training can proceed to more advanced commands.
Good luck on training your English bulldog puppy. Don’t forget to give him his deserved treat on a training well done!
