Tyson is the prime example of a stubborn, selective hearing bully. He will outright ignore you if its not something he's interested in. He'll even look you straight in the eye and ignore you! LOL... but mention the word "dinner", "treat", "walk", or "ride" and he's flying towards you. I swear the saying "he can't hear you call his name when he's right next to you, but can hear you open a wrapper from 3 rooms away during a thunderstorm" is so true!!!

Oh yes, yes he does! And it has gotten worse as he has gotten older and wiser, I suppose. For a while, I really thought he was losing his hearing, but it was only because he was ignoring me. As soon as he hears a treat bag, or a Subway wrapper, or any food related item, no matter how far away in the house he is and how quiet I am being, he instantly comes running at the first crinkle.

Ha ha, yes! I was writing my post and then I read yours and it cracked me up with how your story with Tyson's hearing is just like Frank's! They are just too funny with how smart they can be! :lol: I can't ever sneak off for a snack without Frank knowing!

Y-E-S! Tate especially. He will come running to me when I call his name, followed by the word "snack". But when I only call his name, boy is he ever so SLOW in coming to me! Finn on the other hand is much more obedient and will usually come when called whenever!

Have to agree with all the comments so far, but I found someone my bulldog actually listened too my Aunts partner he has a very deep voice and is a very dominant person. He visited yesterday and George just loved him was delighted to do anything he asked, it's a pity I don't like the man though not a nice person in general. I've been trying to do his voice since with George but he only fell for it the first time ��

Lol, definitely selective hearing, but don't they all? I think it's a definite bully trait. My guys only listen if there's a treat involved.

Megan = Meg,
Out of the four Bulldogs I have had the honour of owning Rosie is the most stubborn of for that matter any breed I have ever had contact with , We love each other unconditionally, we both show it to each other on a almost hourly basis , but GOD I could kill her sometimes . Odin a Cane Corso now that is supposed to be a stubborn breed and he has his days especially when there is a correction involved I get the PooP eye and that eye can have aggression some times ( does not work out well so far for him ) he is far more less stubborn then Rosie by a mile , never mind the 2 husky breeds I have they can and are stubborn .
But God I love her she has been a God send to Me this past 8 months truly lol

We are very lucky to have 3 girls that listen to us very well. We've had many others that exhibit the selective type hearing...mostly the boys.
