We抮e human ?we all make mistakes and usually regret them later.?And the same goes for when we抮e dog owners.?But if you know the most common mistakes, you can help yourself from making them in the first place.

1.?When training your English Bulldog puppy, the most important thing to remember is to be consistent.?Be sure that you抮e using the same cues, words and commands during each training session.?And carry those through everyday life.?Allowing your puppy to get away with something sometimes and not during others will only confuse him and make the training useless.

2.?Weight issues are a big problem across the United States and this problem is overflowing to our pets.?Feeding too many treats is usually the main way our English Bulldog puppies are gaining too much weight and becoming obese.?Talk to your vet about a healthy weight for your pup and stick to healthy treats and foods.

3.?Your English Bulldog puppy is very impressionable and learns new things every day.?You want to be sure the things he抯 learning are good.?Socializing him to other dogs and places will allow him to adapt to new situations more easily as an adult and make him a better behaved adult.

4.?Every dog should have at least 1 hour per day of exercise or mental stimulation.?Bored dogs often become destructive and make training nearly impossible.?Keep your dog happy by providing him with a good walk every day or a long session of play time!

5.?Begging at the table is one of the most annoying habits dogs can have.?Some owners are oblivious to this issue but the company they have for dinner is not.?If you don抰 want your dog to have bad manners, don抰 let these habits start.?Keep your puppy out of the kitchen or dining room when you抮e eating and never give him table scraps.?This will also help to keep him at a healthier weight as well.
