The American Bulldog is known for many of its defined traits, and is approximately as close to an American seal as one can get, apart only from the bald eagle. American Bulldog training can be a very fun and bright experience, but still needs to be handled properly it the training is to be successful. Too often I see such smart and gorgeous American Bulldogs that are just out of control and unhappy. On my pro guarantee, if you obtain the right knowledge and how to apply it when training you're Bulldog, these problems will not haunt you, and the rewards of a spectacular, American Bulldog will follow.
The American Bulldog is an highly athletic, powerful, and muscular animal. This is a spectacular, trait, but not a trait that every owner can handle. This means that this animal requires very frequent practice and approximately constant stimulation. This doesn't mean that you have to run 12 miles with you're Bulldog and have him/her pull a sled, but it does mean that if you're not man who is oftentimes active and don't take you're American Bulldog along for the ride, you'll end up with an unhappy pet that can lead to bigger problems down the road. Again, you don't need ultimate conditions to stimulate you're Bulldog, but specialized knowledge is required to properly train and stimulate them.
American Bulldogs are happy, amiable and devoted pets that get along great with children, even those that are brought into the house later on in a Bulldogs life. However, because of they're size and love for constant stimulation, they are whether best great for older children (rather then babies or infants) or should be watched when nearby infants. The fear in this is not because of a potential assault or bite (this doesn't occur with Bulldogs) but because of their size and weight they could unintentionally role over or sit on an infant. However, believe it or not, you can in effect train and American Bulldog to understand the difference in the middle of adult and infant with the right training, thus making him/her extra gentle nearby smaller children.
The American Bulldog does thankfully get along with other household pets, but only it they grow up with them in the same environment. It should be said any way that the American Bulldog does not get along very well with smaller pets such as cats, rabbits, gerbils etc. This is plainly because of their natural extinct to obtain or work. This natural instinct any way can surprisingly be subdued and with the right American Bulldog training, can be cured over time.
The American Bulldog is a very loyal animal and because of its natural guarding instincts can be wary, reserved and on occasion aggressive towards strangers it does not know. It is very leading that you Properly socialize this breed from an early age so that these problems do not occur. However, the American Bulldog requires that it be socialized in a very permissible and specific manner, so make sure you obtain the needed knowledge.
All in all, the bulldog makes for an perfect pet and animal, but just like any other breed of dog requires training knowledge that is specifically tailored towards this breed. American Bulldog training does not have to be a chore, and while it can sometimes be extensive, it can also be a lot of fun for both you and your pet. The rewards of getting it "right" with this breed are extensive, so take the time and put in the exertion to gain the needed knowledge to properly train this breed.
