How To Bond With Your French Bulldog

Building a bond with your French Bulldog is the first and the most crucial step involved in training him successfully. As soon as you bring your French Bulldog home, you must first try to develop a caring and loving relationship with him in order to win his trust and confidence.

When French Bulldogs are secure in the knowledge that they belong to the family, they are more likely to respond better to their owners’ training commands. Just like with any relationship, there must be mutual trust and respect between you and your French Bulldog.

Trust takes time to develop and respect comes from defining boundaries and treating any breach of those boundaries with firmness and fairness.

Without enforceable limitations, respect can’t be developed. And when there is no respect, building a bond with your French Bulldog is almost impossible.

How Your French Bulldog Learns…

Your French Bulldog’s learning period can be divided into five phases:

The Teaching Phase – This is the phase where you must physically demonstrate to your French Bulldog exactly what you want him to do.

The Practicing Phase – Practice makes Perfect. Once a lesson is learnt, practice with your French Bulldog what you have just taught him.

The Generalizing Phase – Here you must continue practicing with your French Bulldog in different locations and in an environment with a few distractions. You can take your French Bulldog out for a walk, or to a nearby park and command him to practice whatever you’ve taught him.

Practicing the learned lessons in multiple locations and in the presence of small distractions will help him learn and retain lessons better .

The Testing Phase – Once you’re sure that your French Bulldog has achieved almost 90% success….he responds correctly almost every time you give a command, you must start testing his accuracy in newer locations with a lot of distractions.

Example: Take him to the local shopping mall and ask him to obey your command. He may not come up with the correct response the very first time you do this, but you must not lose hope.

The idea is to test your French Bulldog to see how he responds in an environment which is new to him. Set-up a situation where you are in control of the environment and your French Bulldog.

There are only 2 possibilities:

Keep on testing until he succeeds. Follow the rule of the 3 Ps – patience, persistence, praise.

Internalizing PhaseFinally, comes the extremely rewarding phase where your French Bulldog does everything he is taught to do even without your commands.
