Hello everyone. I am new to this site and it seems great so far. I was wondering something about my 2 yr old E. Bulldog named Winston. I have always had some type of dog in my life but this is my first Bulldog, so I am still trying to figure this clown out. I have had him since he was 11 weeks old and we are very close. I wonder if I did something wrong in raising him. I have always read that Bulldoge are very laid back, relax alot, and are terrible watch dogs. That has not been my experience at all. Winston seems to take security very serious (better than my expensive German Sheperds in the past) and he is very conscience of everything going on around the house. Lately he is starting to bark at every noice that he hears that sound like it is knocking, doorbells, or other misc. noices from outside. I hope this does not keep him on edge and nervous. He seems happy overall and is very sweet to other animals and all people. He is scared of the dark and chipmunks. I am not scared that he will hurt someone because of this behavior. It is kind of annoying however(randomly barking) and it is not mellowing with age. I have never rewarded this behavior. I know he is excited about people visiting but I need to know how to chill him out. Maybe he needs more exercise or a different way to train him. I would love to think that he loves me very much and he is trying to protect me but I doubt that is the reason. Does anyone else out there have a security minded Bulldog? Any suggestions? Thanks.
