Noob's 1st post...Hello everyone!!

[Infinite1]

Hello fellow English Bulldog enthusiasts! My name is Ryan. My wife Beth and I are the proud owners of a 10 month old Bully named Spike. We've had him since he was 10 weeks old and I'm sure most of you can agree or know where I'm coming from when I say this. It has been Heaven and Hell...LOL! For the most part he's a pretty laid back dog but as well know the Bully has a stubborn streak. I'm so glad I found this website. I hope to find more insight on how to better train him when we walk as well as curb his "excitement". Spike gets so worked up when we go to the vet and see other people he starts breathing heavy like he just ran a marathon.

At any rate, it's a pleasure to meet everyone! I've attached some photos of Spike when he was 4months and the most recent at 10 months old wearing my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu medal I received at a competition.

Regards

Ryan aka Infinite1

Welcome to EBN!! Arnold is 10 months old as well as I am laughing with you not at you!! We took Arnold to a female bulldogs house, and he got so worked up he actually threw up. That is right threw up!! It was funny yet embarassing. My 3 older boys have all been trained in Jiu Jitsu and Pankration and competed as children, not anymore. Nice to have you onboard!!

Spike is STUNNINGLY Gorgeous. Welcome!

On the panting thing....if anxiety is a trouble for him, keep exposing him -- in short spurts, rewarding when he's calm -- to the stimuli that makes him anxious. Go to the vet and just sit there for a bit -- and leave, for example. Practice makes perfect.
