Hello

[2BullyMama]

Hello - welcome to the site and the wonderful world of bulldogs! Thank you so much for giving Jenna a new life and I LOVE her name -- so pretty. Look forward to seeing pictures and watching her blossom!

Sweet Jenna's luck has turned! My hope is that if you know where this precious angel came from, that you've notified the authorities / local animal control. These kinds of breeders must be stopped.

As for the potty training, stick to a strict schedule. She'll will learn and appreciate knowing that dinner is this time, potty is this time, play is this time. Dogs like routine; it makes them secure. Keep her bedding and/or crate spotlessly clean. Reward her PROFUSELY when she goes potty outside and never shame her for accidents (or react negatively) --- that will work against you. When there's an error, just stop - breathe - and clean it up really, really good.

I am dying to see pics of this sweet angel girl!

and [MENTION=1760]Fontanafox[/MENTION] is right - dogs live in the moment. Don't share soft, "I feel sorry for you" energy - she'll only see you as weak - and not her pack leader. Share "you are here with ME NOW, Life is Good" energy! That's what she deserves!

Thanks...was Gracie from a puppy mill or private breeder...she has an amazing personality...the housebreaking is ruff...i spend so much time trying to make sure she doesn't have accidents in the house...i take her out constantly...she won't go...bring her back in and she'll pee on the floor

The only thing the rescue told me was she came from Indiana with one of her pups...female...i imagine they were maybe breeding her also she was a year old...to the housebreaking...she doesn't go in her crate but i change her blanket and wash the pan a few times a week...i do try to keep her on a feeding, walking schedule and probably take her out every half hour in the evenings...praise her when she potties outside and do just clean it up indoors...i think i take her to a spot she likes to go...she picked it...but if i don't watch her i can take her out and 5 minutes later she'll do something on the floor...so unless she potties i'm trying the tether training method...if doesn't go i keep her leash tether to me...when she does she's loose...i don't know what else to do
