behavior

Hi all- I am in need of advice. Over the past couple of months, my bully 3-year old bully has become super stubborn. When walking, if something catches his attention (usually a person or another dog) he stops and will not budge. This has become a safety issue. For example, walking alone at...

Something is not right w/Walter... This started about 3 days ago... coincidently the day that I was involved in a vehicle accident, I got T-boned sitting at a red light :pissed: We noticed Walter growling more than usual... sometimes he growls at his butt, basically letting us know that his...

My 8 year old bulldog was put on steroids last month. His personality has completely changed. He pees in the house if I don’t walk him every two hours. Is aggressive to my other dogs. He won’t stop licking his front paws. My vet says this is normal behavior but I can’t keep living like this. Has...

Good evening, I'm a newbie here and was wondering if I could have some advice about my winston please �� So Winston was originally my boyfriends dog but due to his busy lifestyle he didn't feel he was giving him the stability and commitment he needed so now he lives with me and my...

My 5 year old male English bulldog licks furniture constantly. He also pees in his own bed, almost daily. Then he will try and go into the others dogs bed, and usually pees in that one too. I've mentioned this to the vet multiple times but nothing is ever found health wise. Any advice?? My...

Hello! Our English Bulldog is almost 11yrs old. In the last 6mths, he has become very aggressive towards our 2yr old dog (Beligian Malinois). This has come to the point where he is attacking our Belgian and while our Bulldog is a solid dog, he absolutely cannot defend himself against our...

Herschel has bitten my wife and I both in the past 3 weeks. Her incident was pretty bad and I have grown concerned over what to do with Herschel and his increasingly aggressive behavior.. Background: Herschel is 8 Herschel has had entropian surgery and his eyes are a constant battle even 6...

I have an 11 month old English bulldog, that I would like to have neutered. I read that his growth plates were not completely formed and it was better to wait to neuter him. How old should he be? My gut instinct is telling to do this soon. He is showing signs of slightly aggressive behavior. I...

Last week I posted a dilemma with Jackson and loud trucks, motorcycles, lawnmowers etc. Called a behaviorist, and he wanted $1500 for a 3 hour session! With many of your comments, I just knew I had to try something to redirect his behavior. Firstly, Jackson has been the easiest puppy to train...

Good morning! Jackson will be 1 in 2 weeks! He is social, loveable, but in bulldog terms, very stubborn! I can usually redirect him in controlled situations, but lately we have VERY BAD behavior and I am at a loss for how to correct. Hoping all you great bulldog gurus can help! We spend alot of...

I have a 12 week old that is jumping up on my 26 yo son and biting and growling on his shorts--almost like tug of war. She does the same exact thing with when I leash train. I started yesterday with placing a treat on her nose and giving the command "release" and if she doesn't release I say...

I have a 7 year old male bulldog, Woody. Over the course of the last year, he's shown some odd behavior. It used to be once every few months. And since the beginning of this year, it's at least once (if not more) a week. He'll start walking really slow, breathing a bit strongly through his nose...

I am trying to find the best dog treats for my Max. He was getting a venison treat that Costco had temporarily. Now, I need to find him another kind, since he is 7 months old and gets 1 after he does his business outside and at bedtime to go in his crate, all to prevent behavior issues.

Hey everybody. Here's a little background first. I got my bulldog whopper when he was 3. He's 5 now. He's a pretty good dog but he is food aggressive if I try to pick up his food bowl or touch him while he's eating and every once in awhile he can be slightly resource aggressive. He has never...

Hey guys and gals hope all is well. Ms. Millie will be 1 year old next month. She seems to be a very sporadic eater. Sometimes she doesn’t and sometimes she does. I feed her 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup in the evening. It’s not uncommon for her to not eat at all occasionally for a day. It’s...

Bertie is a very sweet, loving boy who we believe came into rescue after having spent 5 years locked up outside in a cage (his entire life). Because of this, he has no social skills and is still learning the ropes on how to interact with his humans and living in a home. He has some bad...

My boy keeps destroying shoes but only my girlfriends shoes lol. Any ideas to stop his behavior? We try to keep them out of reach but sometimes she forgets and we come home to a shredded pair of shoes.

Hello, my family and I got an english bulldog puppy about two weeks ago. The first two weeks have been a success however as of yesterday, she is displaying poor behavior, not wanting to walk on her leash, being a little aggresive/nippy, barking. We have been rewarding her good behavior and...

I’ve done a lot of reading and generally Brutus is a really good puppy. I know nipping is normal and is apart of having a puppy. Usually he will stop when I say no, even with nipping. But tonight I was playing tug of war with him and after ‘winning’ the toy, he grabbed my hand. He bit down hard...

Hey everyone, meet Taco. Taco is a four month old female new to my family. She is teething like mad. We have tons of chew toys, but when holding her, she only wants to chew on our hands and fingers. We are trying to redirect that behavior by giving her a toy, but maybe some correction is in...

I think this is OK, but i just want to get some advice. Is this stalking and pouncing behavior of Ollie's just play and Ok? https://youtu.be/jCWh1nHw6iQ

My 9 month old bully has had hives for 4 days now. I've been giving him Benadryl twice a day which calms the swelling but they don't go away. By the morning he is covered again and itching like crazy. About a month ago he had hives for the first time and as a new bulldog owner I rushed him to...

Hi All, We have had a little Coconut for nearly six months now and have posted a few times on this forum and received some great advice! When we go to work in the day our little bully is left in the kitchen which is her space for a few hours in the morning until our dog walker arrives and...

I found a lump on Lambeau Saturday night... truly appeared out of no where. We play and snuggle daily so I would know if it had been small and just growing, but this seemed to just show up. It is hard and right between his shoulder blades... it can sort of be moved around, but he does not...

As I typed this the power went out and I lost the long explanation of how it happened. So here's the short version. Bella was chewing a 5 inch split antler and instead of leaving the hard part for me to throw away she decided to swallow it in pieces. I found parts of the antler laying around...

Hi All, Our very loving (and mostly stubborn!) Bully Coco has decided to start calling out to us in the middle of the night! She sleeps in the Kitchen behind a stair gate and is let out when we get up in the mornings. When we put her to bed she goes down with no issues but for some reason in...

We have a 9 year old male. He has been completely housebroken since he was 4 months. Since returning from summer cotttage, he has started to mark on the math mats in both of our bathrooms. Totally new behavior. This is not due to UTI-- he will do this moments after the mat is placed down, he...

Meet Tank, 6 years old! Tank is a super loving boy that wants to spend every moment by your side. He walks well on a leash, and is very active! He loves hiking for a few miles, but due to his size, will need some of those cute little booties to protect his paws on hills. He does well with dogs...

Hi all. Although I read a number of the previous posts on potty training, etc., I still a have questions. I get that patience AND positive reinforcement are needed. Ignoring “bad” behavior is not an issue. I got my bully at 4 1/2-months and he was not housebroken. It is understood bully’s can...

Hi guys, has anyone heard of, or had experience with Atopica causing aggression in your bully? I tried doing some research and I haven't read anything about that being a side effect but i feel like it's changed my dog's behavior and I honestly feel it may be related. Thanks!

Hello All - We just got our first bulldog puppy, she is 8 weeks today and we noticed lately that she very aggressively biting Fingers, charges at your face, and attacks your feet when walking, now she even has started growling and biting when we try to pick her up to remove her from the...

My 11 month old has just begun her first estrus about a week ago. I ordered a special diaper for her which she now has learned how to rub it down and off; and then proceeds to chew it up! Everything seemed to be going pretty well, but now, she's piddling everywhere indoors! I am assuming...
