Information on Training Your French Bulldog Dog or Puppy

To the novice dog owner, one might think that a French Bulldog’s temperament is not to be trifled with. This is not the case at all. In fact, the Frenchie is a gentle, easy going breed that craves human contact. The French Bulldog will make few demands on his owner; a short evening walk, in indoor lifestyle and occasional brushing.

The French Bulldog's shortened muzzle can make breathing in hot, humid weather difficult, so best to avoid hours outside in summer months. In addition, the Frenchie can have difficulty regulating its body temperature so heat exhaustion (and worse) is a moderate summertime concern. The French Bulldog has a very sensible attitude towards barking. This attribute and his compact size makes the Frenchie a fine choice for apartment and condo dwellers. Finally, If you are considering a French Bulldog as a second pet, be aware that there can be aggression toward same sex dogs.

When training your French Bulldog, or any dog, remember that you are in charge. If you are the one making and enforcing the rules, then you will be the leader. This is a key component to training your Frenchie. Don't let his cute, limpid eyes derail your training regime.

French Bulldogs are keen to please and you can capitalize on this by rewarding only desired behaviors and totally ignoring undesirable ones. This means you can withhold praise, treats and petting until the Frenchie does what is expected. The earlier training begins the better and remember that all family members are a part of the training team. Finally, be sure commands are consistent and reward is immediate.
