How to train a Bulldog to ride a skateboard

Ann | November 8th, 2009

The English Bulldog can give Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder, a run for his money!  Other breeds perform tricks, jump through hoops, or run at great speeds but the bulldog can enjoy the excitement of the X-Games! It is not an easy feat though. Like talented athletes, a bulldog may or may not have what it takes.

Start off by placing a skateboard on a comforter as not to let it slip and call the bulldog to climb it. Wider boards are recommended for stability. Once he’s on it, let him get a feel of it and make himself comfy so calling him on it won’t be a problem.

Next, move to the grass so board movement is slow. When his front legs are up, coax him with food or a toy until he pushes with his hind legs making it move. When this is perfected, start on the pavement but stand by in case he falls. Eureka! A pro is born!

Bulldog Dog Training

Big Dog | March 9th, 2009

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Bulldog puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning. Please remember that they are slow learners.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Bulldog as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.
