brendan7979 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 My 3 month British Bulldog pup is starting to really wear us out. We have plenty of puppy experience but does anyone else have similar experiences with this breed? ie dominance, training etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan7979 Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Brendan,what are the actual Problem/s? Tony yeah she is so demanding of our attention 24/7. She is fine when we put her to bed but she barks at 6am to be let out, we need some sleep! Was just wondering if she will calm down when older .

Monah Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 My 3 month British Bulldog pup is starting to really wear us out. We have plenty of puppy experience but does anyone else have similar experiences with this breed? ie dominance, training etc. I have no experience with British Bulldogs (so gorgous) but you mentioned getting up around 6am to let it out. My vizsla (now 12 months) has only just started sleeping in until 6!! It's light here around 4.30am most of the year and that's when she decided to get up. She is crated and loves her 'bed'. Goes at 10pm. and now up at 6am. I think that's pretty good. When she was up really early I would walk her, small breakfast and go back to bed for an hour, giving her something safe to chew on. Persevere, sleep deprevation is a torture!! but it will end Unfortunately for me, I start all over with another pup in 5 weeks and will probably be posting a "What the hell do I do when the new puppy gets up during the night and wakes the other 2 dogs!! "It will be a challenge and I'll be needing advice from you then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 dont expect such a young pup to hang on that long - 8 hrs is an enormous amount of time and the pup is doing really well hanging on all night. make sure she goes toilet before bed too and not too much water beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Take her out to the loo, then crate her again, she will learn to stay asleep My 2 dogs are almost 4, and almost 2 - I get up at 5am everymorning to let them out for a pee, they know that they have to go back to bed if i am not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten6462 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi from a fellow Bulldog owner. They have a very dominant protective streak and they are very demanding. Thankfully so very very cute as well. They are fast learners and my Bully learn't faster than any of my other dogs where to toilet and when. Oscar is almost two and learning to sleep past six is simply an age thing for most dogs i think. If you have a space for him that is his space he should quickly learn. Make sure you do get up and let him out for the toilet even if after that you put him back to bed and if he keeps barking just stick to it. They like their sleep as much as we do, barking won't last long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirt80 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Hey fellow Bulldog owner here too!!, My pup is 5 months and she is also very demanding but she has settled down a lot in the last couple of months. We got her an exercise pen so after she woke up and was let out to the toilet she had a safe place to play while she waited for us to get up.You can get quite a short one as they can't really jump out of it with their little legs. We also used it when she got a bit to dominate and excited as a place for her to calm down best $70 I ever spent. She is our 1st bully and we have noticed that she is very bossy and stubborn but she is also very intellegent and has been quite easy to train, we are working on the barking for attention thing at the moment!!. Another tip give her chew toys and beef bones from the butcher (we can pick up a bag of about 5 for about $2.00), Kongs are also great just fill them up with some dry biscuts and seal it of with some peanut butter (keeps rougue occupied for at least half an hour) it destracts them and lets you get stuff done just keep an eye on her. Good Luck , they are a great dogs!!!! Edited February 21, 2007 by squirt80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
