TRAINING

A typical Bull Terrier is active, interested, playful,

clownish and stubborn. He is also very attached to his

family. The character and personality of the Bull Terrier

is much like a three year-old child in a dog suit. You must

supervise and train them. Obedience and socialization

classes are musts for the Bull Terrier puppy and adult.

Proper training will provide good manners, socialization

skills and bond the dog to you. Check with your local

kennel club or humane society for classes.

The crate is comfortable for your Bull Terrier because,

like his wild ancestors, he instinctively seeks the safety

and security of a "den." They do not mind being placed in

a crate at night (when they haven't worked their way into

your bed!) and you will have peace of mind knowing your

pet is safe and out of harm's way.

TOYS

Because Bull Terriers were bred for strong prey drives

and not pack instincts, they generally respond best to

training when motivated by food and toys. The Bull

Terrier must be handled firmly but with patience and

positive reinforcement. Young Bull Terriers can be very

rambunctious and must be taught not to jump, nip or grab
