Housebreaking Hints for Your English Bulldog puppy

Most new English Bulldog Puppy owners look forward to housebreaking their dog. With a lot of patience and understanding this important step in Bulldog ownership can be successful without being a nightmare.The amount of time it will take to housebreak your dog will depend on the dog itself, just be patient. Often it takes young puppies a while to gain the muscle control to hold it in. The secret to housebreaking - as with all training - is consistency and repetition. Remember, there has never been a dog that could not be housetrained.

General Hints:
There are some basic principles or guidelines you should follow no matter which method of training you are using.

 

 

 

 

  • Probably the most important rule to remember is positive reinforcement. Every time your dog goes where he’s supposed to, lavish him with praise.  
  • Only punish your dog when you catch him in the act. Punishing after the fact will be futile and may even hinder the training process.  
  • Take your dog outside as soon as possible after naps, meals or play sessions.  
  • Get your dog on a regular feeding schedule  
    • 8 - 12 - 4  
  • Take away his water dish at night  
  • Learn to recognize your dog’s signals that he needs to go out. For example, many dogs will sniff the floor and walk in circles when they need to go.
