Re: Basic training for a Bulldog bitch
Goodvic2 - you are too kind.
Definately recommend a GOOD local training class (go and look before you sign up they are not all great) especially for a stubborn breed.
Best place to start is with Sit -take a treat place it on the end of their nose and move it back over their head towards their tail as their bum hits the floor say "sit".
Lead - Use a light puppy lead and let them drag it round the house. Once they are happy with that and relaxed pick it up and follow them about (keep it slack) then try and get them to follow you by enticing with a treat.
Come - call them to you ALL the time and treat when they come. To start crouch down from a short distance open your arms and call "dogs name" "come" in a very exciting voice. Big fuss when they do and treat.
Best treat to start with is just pieces of their dry food if they are on dry.
