French bulldog puppies are very eager to please and friendly by nature. They are friendly towards humans despite their aggression towards other dogs. However, you still need to take a lot of time to properly socialize your French bulldog puppies with people and other pets. If you notice signs of aggression towards humans, you should take them to a professional trainer immediately.
So from a young age you need to bring French Bulldog puppies to other people and pets. Take them to a public area and let strangers pet and play with them, but be sure to establish your authority over the dog. This dominance needs to be established early on so your pet will be obedient later in life. French bulldog puppies are extremely dominant and if you don’t establish authority early on it will be extremely difficult to gain it later on. Also, proper socialization early on can help your puppy develop a balanced temperament.
You’ll also want to make sure French bulldog puppies get their shots early and that you consistently keep up their annual booster shots to prevent them from getting common illnesses. Also be sure to ask your vet about the best flea control products and deworming treatments for your pup. For French Bulldog puppies, you should also make sure to feed them a high-quality dog food. Meat should be the first ingredient in any high-quality dog food. Make sure it contains no less than thirty percent crude protein, twenty percent crude fat, and four percent fiber.
Every day you should make sure that your puppy gets at least thirty to forty-five minutes of exercise. Due to their active nature, French Bulldog puppies will require a lot of activity. To avoid fights with other dogs, make sure your puppy is on a leash when outdoors. Even the quietest pup in the house will quickly turn into a completely different dog once he takes on another dog on a walk outdoors.
You’ll also want to make sure you start obedience training early. You want to control your pup by voice alone due to the dominance of the breed. You are likely to get better results through positive rather than physical reinforcement, as the breed is eager to please. When disciplining French bulldog puppies, the cold shoulder approach works best. Since the breed depends on attention, not giving it is worse than any other disciplinary method you can think of, like a newspaper.
Staying calm is also important when raising French bulldog puppies. This is very important for this breed. If your dog feels that he is afraid of a person or feels that he is in danger for any reason, he will quickly attack that person. Therefore, when around strangers, it is important to remain calm; otherwise, you need to keep a tight rein on your dog so that he doesn’t unnecessarily hurt another person.
