House-training bulldog puppies takes patience and love.
Bringing a bulldog puppy home is a special and exciting time for the whole family. Bulldogs are medium-sized dogs well known for their short noses, wrinkled skin and massive heads. They come in many colors and have a lovable, gentle disposition. Bulldog puppies make excellent family pets because they tend to form strong bonds with children, and are both gentle and protective. However, the first few days can also be the toughest for new puppy parents. Your puppy will need lots of attention, love and patience, especially during house training.
Instructions
1. Decide what kind of surface you want your bulldog puppy to house-train on. Some people prefer to train their puppies on paper, while others choose grass. If you decide to grass train and have to leave your puppy for long periods of time, allow him to go on paper, but when you return home make grass training a top priority.
2. Choose a designated spot in your yard for house training. Reward your bulldog puppy with a treat for using the right spot. While you are giving him the treat, show him praise and pat him nicely to encourage his correct house-training behavior.
3. Anticipate when your puppy will have to relieve itself. There are common times when all puppies have to use the bathroom, such as after eating or drinking, or when they first wake up. Watch for sniffing, circling or glances at the door. These are common signs that indicate your puppy has to relieve itself.
4. Keep your bulldog puppy on a feeding schedule. Puppies will need to relieve themselves after they eat. This can be anywhere from right after eating to about an hour. A consistent feeding schedule will help you predict when your puppy has to relieve itself, and hopefully avoid accidents.
5. Use a crate to encourage your bulldog puppy to hold off having to relieve itself. Crates are an excellent way to continue house-training your puppy while you are away. Your puppy will not want to relieve itself in the small space knowing it can't get away. That will encourage it to wait for your return. Puppies can stay in crates for two to three hours during the day and up to six hours at night.
