I am buying a french bulldog puppy Any advice as to training it
Answers:
Same as any other dog - lots of patience, lots and lots of praise and depending on the age of your puppy, you can start with very simple obedience commands (at home only - no classes) after the puppys made himself thoroughly at home and is comfortable with you. Keep any lessons very short, fun and most importantly, use a lot of praise.
Since these dogs cant swim, if your dog is going to be anywhere near water, you need to teach him to stay away from water. Enjoy your puppy!
Training your puppy begins as soon as you bring it home. Dont let him get away with things you dont want him to do as an adult. Dont let the puppy "playbite" you, always direct his teething to a toy. Start housetraining by taking you puppy to the same spot to potty every two hours or more, and keep him on leash in the house until he is housetrained. Do not use physical punishment on a puppy, you have to teach him what you want him to do. Frenchies are prone to breathing problems and overheating, so be careful not to overexert your dog. Also its very important to start socializing right away. Get the pup used to strange dogs and people so that he is not aggressive as an adult.
If you want to train a dog, dont get a bulldog

Heres a almost should be for house training frenchy. install a doggie door and teach your new puppy to go through it with loves, praise and treats dont hurt. this takes the rough out of house training. Dont give your puppy food scraps at the table and it wont pester you company when you have guests over. just remember that you can catch more flys with sugar than sh#%26 anyday. The rest is what you like or not. Good luck! and enjoy your new puppy. :)
