Don't scold your dog after it has done something. It has to be done, while
the dog is doing it - else it won't remember what it has done. Be careful with
what you scold your dog for. If for example it cleans itself in the house,
and you scold it - how does the dog understand that?
Best scenario: I'm not allowed to clean myself indoor.
Most probable scenario: I'm forbidden to clean myself.
If your dog doesn't understand, what you're saying, you're the one,
who's communicating in a wrong way. Everything your dog learns, is
something you taught it.
In short - you've to learn, how to educate your dog. It can't learn, how
you're trying to educate it.
I'm
sure, you've got a lot to learn. Visit the library. Sign up for obedience class,
where both of you will learn, with your dog. Ask experienced people for advice.
No matter what you'll hear, a Bull Terrier can be educated - and it
should be educated in the same way as a lot of other breeds.
A Bull Terrier doesn't do anything for your sake, but only for it's own sake. It
obeys, because it gets something out of it - biscuits, fun, praise - but not to
please you. You could say, that you don't give your Bull Terrier orders, you negotiate
with it.
A lot of people ask, if it's difficult to housetrain a Bull Terrier.
From natures side the dog is almost housetrained. It prefers to clean itself
away from where it lives.
If the breeder has kept the surrounding of the puppies clean and praised them,
when they cleaned themselves outside and on news papers, a large part of the
work is already done.
