Hi george, welcome to English Bulldog News
It certainly does sound like he is a ball of energy doesn't it?
As for advice, I can think of two things. Maybe he is on a high protein diet that would cause him to be so energetic? Check the protein content of his food, it should be around 30% or even better, about 25%.
Otherwise, from what you have said it just seems to be part of his routine/training. I know I have been well trainedWhen my hubby and I got together 16 years ago I set the standard for our whole marraige.
In other words, for example, I jumped up and did the laundry, so now, I will and always have done the laundry. (whoops.)
My point is if the behavior is expected and tolerated, then he is just doing what he has always done. Strong discipline is the only thing that will change these behaviors. I would start by taking him on walks and using treats, train him to stay next to you ALWAYS.
Do you think his darting out of his crate and not wanting to come in has anything to do with not liking his crate? If so, try doing things that will make him LOVE his crate. Like treats ONLY in his crate. Never anywhere else, (unless during training exercises) and maybe even feeding him his dinner in his crate. Always keep his crate open for him to go chill in when he wants as well.
I think this is all I have to suggest, as each dog is different and has a different personality. Take Libra926's Vegas & Orion, they are completely different and Orion sounds a bit like your boy.
What are your bullies names, and I sure hope you share some pictures!
