lmao... finally you made it to this thread :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yes, around here the position your dog has assumed is called "Tummy!" and is also a command. Works really well for getting their attention if they get out of hand, as they will. One of my big boys can be a real jerk, what with growling, barking, snarling and showing teeth but drops like a puppy at "Tummy!". He's really funny sometimes because he will "Tummy!" but still issue low growls as though he's trying to save face!

When caring for large, powerful, assertive and territorial dogs it is a must to have a couple of commands which break the momentary state of mind and sort of knock the animal out of whatever undesireable mode it has entered in its mind. That boy gonna be a good one!

congrats on the cutie!

Thanks Sally, I've started a few commands and rewards key phrase for when he does a regular good deed. So far took 24 hours to get him to ask for the door to poop and pee. Again knocking on wood ;)

I've an American Bully myself.

Not an American Bulldog, but an American Bully (completely different breed).

good luck with that guy. based on the post a couple above this, sounds like you are on the right track.

I'll make sure to write you a postcard to keep you in the loop :thumbsup

no worries, i'm sure there will be several gfy threads about it all. :1orglaugh

I agree actually. As much as I prefer the look (alot), i would never do it. I got my pup like that. I believe they were cropped as he was supposed to be a show dog, however he lacked the drive needed

cutie dog man!!

those are some nice lookin pups you got.

how the heck u potty train him in 24hr? please share

English BullDog here!!!!!!!! :)http://www.grupo-bedoya.com/forumimages/Rocco2.JPG

Right now he's not potty train it's more about me paying real good attention and knowing the signals and take him out. He did walk to the back of the place today which is always the way we go out to do business. And once out well he did business.

im gonna struggle with my new puppy.. i live on the 21st floor.. how do i teach him to wait, and hold on.. he is gonna prolly pee/poop on lobby/elevator/etc.lol

haha nice looks just like mine....

btw if u have an adopted pet please take 5mins to write a short story and add a few pics to my mainstream site.. www.savedpets.com thx :thumbsup

Just keep taking him outside, he shouldn't go on the way outside. lol if he does, just got to be patient, say "no!" when he does it and pet him after he goes outside, he'll figure it out. Some learn quicker. Elevator sucks because youre not moving and if he has to go, he just may. Nothing you can do, for that rare accident, bring a small towel if you think your pup would do that.

ya gonna be walking him with a little backpack of papertowel and spray.lol

buy a backback for your dog it makes a walk 2x as long... also makes my male dog that pisses every 5 feet not even try with a pack on

wait, why wont he try peeing with a backpack?

also my dog is a 3lb puppy.. dont think he can support a backpack.lol

wait, why wont he try peeing with a backpack?

when they hav eone on they feel like they have a task i guess... trust me it works 3 weeks is a little yong lol

also crate train.... it's key if you cant be there to let you full grown dog for 6-10hrs at a time

Picking up my crate tomorrow :thumbsup
