zeusmilne85 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Does anyone know of specialized trainers for British bulldogs in nsw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) All dogs learn the same way. Is there any other reason a BB would need a specialist trainer? Edited September 3, 2014 by raineth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusmilne85 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 From experience with my BB and from what I've read they are a lot more stubborn than most breeds just thought they might need specialist training as my male is particularly naughty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Any good trainer will be able to assist you with a stubborn dog and ultimately it's perseverance. Plenty of breeds are known for being somewhat stubborn. If you explain where you are I'm sure people could recommend someone if you want personal training or a good dog club in your area.

hankdog Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I think if you post a picture that will help????????. I got my boy as a 5 year old with no training and he has learned a bunch of stuff but they aren't really the same to train as other dogs. You have to be very clear on what's in it for them. I've used clicker training for tricks and it works well. Start reward rich and then fade. I kind of think whereas other dogs think "what can I do for my owner," bulldogs think "why would I do that for my owner?" Very smart dogs but easily bored, short training sessions with only a few repeats of each command. I train at pet resorts in Dural, Zoei is my trainer and she's one of Jakes people. She gets bulldogs. Edited September 3, 2014 by hankdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I kind of think whereas other dogs think "what can I do for my owner," bulldogs think "why would I do that for my owner?" IMO this is true of all dogs, I have never met a dog that doesn't ask "what's in it for me". When we talk about stubbornness it's really persistence which is a positive trait if we use it to our benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusmilne85 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks I'm in the Newcastle area so has anyone got any ideas of any good places close by and I've tried to work out how to post his picture but I can't find an option to do so anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasareina Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 to post a picture you have to upload it to a site like photobucket which will host it online, and provide you with a url / link. Then you click on the little yellow rectangle at the top of the box where you type in your post. Paste the image url into the box that pops up, and click insert image. It can be complicated to get your head around when you first start but it's pretty easy once you know how to do it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The easiest way to post a picture if you don't have a photo sharing account it to click on 'use full editor' below the writing box. Then at the bottom of the page you'll see an option to browse to choose an image from your computer, click upload image and then it will appear in your post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankdog Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 He's gorgeous. I know pet resorts has a terrigal branch if that's closer. Zoei does a few days there I think. You might only need a few sessions to get you on the right track. Bulldogs are of course the best human trainers, I bet he has you doing a bunch of stuff for him.
