Hi! I have a 10 week old english bulldog puppy and her name is Lola. In the past two days she has developed a little bit of aggression right before bed time, but only after playing with our outdoor cat, Charlie. She will play with him and will ignore me completely and when I try to pick her up...

Hanks "play" behavior with his daddy seems to have changed over the last week . He's cute funny roughhouse growl ( though is still gentle with mouth) sounds not so sweet. We've all talked about not roughhousing , and I really think it's time to stop playing with humans in that way ( I didn't...

We have had a terrible day today, a terrible weekend really. Unfortunately, we had to put Spielman down today at 4 years 4 months. He was a great dog, but he was a very dominant dog. He loved my wife and I to a fault, and for 4 years he loved both our 19 year old daughter and 15 year old son...

Can someone help me identify this behavior on my bully. Is this aggressive or playing? My parents dog is very patient with Lucy, but let's her know when enough is enough

I need everyone's advice about stopping Sugar's aggression toward Munson. Sugar is 6 months old and wakes up feeling cuddley and friendly, then it goes downhill. Munson is a one year old who is laid back and sweet. If Munson starts playing with a toy, Sugar begins by going for the toy, then...

hi again. :) So Dozer, who we are considering buying (i keep saying adopting), will be 7 mos old on nov 28th. Could you guys tell me what to expect from a 6/7 mo old? I hear the toddler stages are approaching :ohmy:

I'm not sure how exactly this behavior started, but I'm sure I did something wrong along the way. By 2.5 yr old baby Chauncey, will sit there and growl/bark at me for 30 minutes if I let him. I sit at my counter and watch tv, or eat, or pay bills - whatever. Chauncey just sits there, and if...

Hi everyone! I have two English bulldogs--Hank is almost 8 years old and in August I brought home Lola, who is now 5 months. I plan to have her spayed, and Hank is neutered. I know there can be a range in terms of the age of first heat--I've seen an average of 6 months, and my vet told me...

Had our annual check up last night. It was a long wait, my vet is over-booked but she was on her very best behavior and everyone loved her. HW negative, and she said her heart and lungs sound great. She weighed in just under 42lbs which was smaller than I expected! She wanted to know why the dog...

Hi all Wondered if anyone could shed some light as an stumped. For the past three days Winston has barely touched any food and does not seem himself. I put it down to the hot weather or possibly the recent change in his diet. However in an effort to get him to eat i gave him some mince...

I was just wondering if wrestling with my AB is promoting bad behavior, or if it is just good exersise for him. We get pretty rough, but he seems to like it, I just don't know if it is good.

Hi All! It's Rosemarie, Chanel and Brutus here!!! I know have 2 kids Gianni (3) and Victoria (9mnths) It has been a very long time since I have been here! A lot has changed and even more is changing. I need some support as we go through one of the hardest decisions I will have to make. Brutus...

Please welcome Andrew to Rescue. He has lived a very hard life in his short years. A kind person found him free on Craigslist and when she could not handle all his issues she contacted us. On the positive side, he seems very sweet and appears to be around 4 years old. Thankfully he is...

We brought El Chapo home when he was 7 weeks old and every since then it's been a rewarding journey. I guess early on seeing the bulldog in him was easy, he's been the most independent dog I've had, a lot of people would've considered his behavior early on as "stubborn", over time he's learn to...

Howdy everyone, apologies if I've mentioned this before, but particularly as the weather warms up I look for ways to keep my bulldog mentally stimulated (since our walks are a bit shorter in the summer time). We have a game we like to play inside, and it's called "find treat". It...

Wally had his annual vaccines and physical yesterday w/the vet… she was extremely pleased w/how he's doing. As of right now he is NOT on restricted activity because of his mild spondylosis, the vet feels like this is a non issue at this time. Nikki had suggested acupuncture or chiropractor...

Munson has just turned one and has been neutered. Every night he gets wired up and will race around the house like lightning, dive into his crate and toss around his pillow, and use the furniture like a gymnast. Usually I give him a bowl of ice cubes to try and calm him down;sometimes this works...

Any advice on tail amputation surgery would be greatly appreciated! I am so nervous! Otis will be 5 at the of the month. We have had numerous tail pocket infections that we can't get rid of! He started with some aggression issues (we think due to the pain) but started seeing a behaviorist. I am...

I've been having issues with barking lately. In the morning, he has been waking up really early (my theory is due to the light or the chirping birds) and barking to go potty and be fed. Normally he is a huge sleeper and I have to pry him out of bed, but his behavior has been changing with the...

My 6 yr old bully has had anxiety since I got her two years ago. She gets very anxious around kids. Previously, she got too protective of her crate and I took it away. Now she's protective of her bed and toys. She doesn't growl at me or typically people. She will get aggressive with other...

I'm working w/a behaviorist to find a cause for Walter's aggression issues… as many of you already know. What is interesting about Nikki is that she looks at the ENTIRE picture of the dog, food they are eating, supplements, environment, etc... I have been feeding Walter Fromm's from the...

We always have micro chip our pups before they go to their fur-ever home, and we put our info in the second contact list. We do this in the hopes they will never need them. I always wondered if they will actually work when need be. Well I got my answer Saturday morning. Bev my wife called me...

Is it just me or does anyone notice a change in their bulldogs play behavior when they pair up with another bully breed type dog? My girl is a sweet heart and is gentle and loves little dogs but when a bully breed is around it's totally different. She's never done anything wrong but she's always...

Hello to everyone on this site. I'm a fresh English bulldog owner from Estonia. I got Alistair a bit more than a month ago when he was 3 months old. He is such a sweetheart and we feel so lucky to have him. I've had dogs before but this is my first bulldog. I can't believe how different this...

Many of you on here know about our issues w/Walter in the last couple of months… he had a horrible anal gland infection, and that has somehow turned him into a different dog. He has growled and snapped at us on occasion… mostly at my husband, but he has snapped at me and the kids (not Marcus...

I hope to help others with this post. I started using a small air horn for correcting REALLY BAD behavior like jumping when Joey would not obey the off command BUT the air horn hurt my ears, LOL. I NEVER pointed at her, always behind my back. So, my search continued and just started using this...

Walter has started his growling/snapping stuff again… the metacam didn't really seem to be doing anything, so I stopped giving it to him. He will get this look in his eyes and I can see it coming… ears back, wide eyes and then the growling starts, he jumps up and snaps at his butt. IF you try...
