Aggressive bulldog

I definitely suggest getting a trainer/behaviorist if the problem is progressing. One suggestion I have though is that you don't necessarily want to prevent him from growling all the time -- if there really is danger or he feels frightened then that's how he communicates. From time to time Ruckus will bark or growl at something (mainly garbage trucks and loud music) and then look at me as if to say "hey mom, uh I'm not so sure about this, what's your take?" and he learned that if I told him "it's ok, good boy" that there wasn't danger and he generally stops the warning.

before this started diesel would play bark but I have never heard him growl, he was badly attacked in February / early march time by a banned breed in the uk. He was shook up bad, his first growl was after that in the vets, but as the days went on he became chilled again,
we got the pups and went walks, one night he didn't want to sleep at my side of the bed he wanted to go with the pups,
if I take him out with Gucci ( chihuahua ) he's cool with other dogs, when the pups are there he's different.
His life story in a nutshell lol

Start from a quiet spot when he can observe passers by wile on the walk with pups -give him treats for calm behaviour , it will take time and a bit of work but its worth trying to do something
I forgot to mention to remain calm yourself but [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] got you covered here xx

Look at it this way - im still trying to teach Shy to walk nice on a leash and stop her squeaking like im murdering her at the beginning of a walk -since 2013 ;-) lol

Protective of the pups, learning his new role in the pack maybe?
