Instruction
1. According to the official standard of breed, some calmness is inherent in this animals (as, however, and to other representatives of subgroup of moloss and mastiffs). It is impossible to forget about it, beginning to train English bulldog, phlegmatic persons acquire teams more slowly. However, according to experts, dogs with similar type of temperament remember acquired very long.
2. There are basic principles of training which are relevant to dogs practically of all breeds. It is important to choose correctly time for classes: just had dinner bulldog will hardly react to delicacy, the aspiration to settle and have a sleep quicker will be his only thought, most likely. You should not train a dog and right after she came for walk. It will be difficult for dog to concentrate, there is so much new information around. It is ideal if there pass about 2-3 hours after meal, and 15-20 minutes later began walks.
3. To encourage a dog, it is possible to use delicacy. It is also important to praise the pet for correctly executed commands, and the praise can sometimes be even more effective, than the most tasty delicacy. As food encouragement it is possible to choose small cut cheese or boiled meat, special cookies for dogs or dry of sterns. It can be anything from what is pleasant to a dog and it is convenient in application. Of course it is better to refrain from use of harmful products (smoked products, chips, chocolate, etc.).
4. At first it is worth studying basic teams - "to lie" and "sit". Also as the initial stage such teams as "to me" and "place" will approach. To teach a dog to lie or sit on command (the equipment in this case is very similar), it is necessary to let her know that the owner in a hand has something tasty. Softly pressing a croup and showing a delicacy piece, it is necessary "to help" a dog to accept a necessary pose, having several times repeated the corresponding team. The owner's voice at the same time has to be equal, but strict. As soon as the bulldog sits down or will lay down, depending on the fact that the owner demands from him, it is necessary to give at once delicacy and it is obligatory to praise an animal. Only the owner knows for sure that he will be the most effective for his favourite - to scratch behind an ear, to clap vigorously or even tenderly to pinch. The main thing that the dog understood that the owner is very happy with result.
5. You should not during the day try to study several teams at once. At the same time, if the dog showed in the morning that she already understood, for example, the lie team, will be useful to set skill several times. Gradually commands need to be given in various conditions - houses, on the street, in the quiet and lively place, on a visit or at an exhibition. After studying the "lie" and "sit" teams it is possible to pass to more difficult.
6. If the bulldog only begins to comprehend training elements, it is better to allow him to have a rest in 20-30 minutes after the beginning of "lesson". The general duration of classes depends on age and character of the pet. It is very important not to be overzealous, especially during the first, initial stage that at a dog the training was associated only with something interesting, pleasant. As it was already mentioned, the majority of the English bulldogs - phlegmatic persons and if they develop disgust for classes to overpersuade a dog it will be difficult.
