The Book of Bathminster, chapter 1. Verse 3-4
“The Bed”
If by the decree of resting activities, you my bullies are asked to go to your resting places. Then go my children and go with gusto😆❤️🐾

If you teach them anything apart from the basics like sit, leave, wait, down etc.
Teach them something really beneficial.
“How to switch of and chill”.
Believe it or not dogs don’t naturally know how to just switch of and relax. Just like teach them to “sit”. It’s a skill to be taught and learnt.
Have an easy life with your bullie. Be your bullies advocate❤️🐾

It’s not just about Bull Terriers, although I have a special love for them.
The fact that they challenge me and teach me more about me than them is one of the reasons I like working with them.
But I’ll help any dog. The more difficult, the better😆
“Wynn” The Huntway/Collie Cross. (New Zealand Herding Breed)
Wynns, floats between over stimulation, anxiousness and reactivity to people, dogs, whether inside or outside her home. (Excessive barking whilst walking, sitting……anything) and pulling whilst walking.
We’ve focussed on reestablishing connection between her and her human family. Applying the corrections where they need to be applied and reward where it be needed. But absolutely no more softy softy talking to her like a baby like she had been used to.
Without a confident handler that can provide a dog with a sprinkle of purpose, a feeling of safety and confidence. A dog will assume a position of making its own decisions. And inherently, those are poor decisions.
We’ve been implementing engagement exercises, drills, impulse control. And making Wynns dog mama a more
Confident, secure handler. No matter what the situation.
We started in the home, set homework’s and then have moved out to places where we know Wynn is going to be triggered.
Because only through exposure to the issue. Can the issue be started to be resolved and worked through.
Lots of owners today who have no control over there dogs all around Wynn. But she and her mom did amazing.
Bull Terrier or not. We must be our dogs advocate.
Not treat them like a baby, reassure them like you would a human child. Respect your dog for what it is and learn to give them what they actually need. Not what you “think” they need based on our human emotional responses.
Well done Wynn & Julie🐾

Today we had a visit from one of our “extended family” Plamena Petrova with “Brook”.
Anyone that owns a Bullies knows, or can appreciate that. They aren’t an inherently easy dog. Especially as a first time owner. Who’s not necessarily a person who knows how to connect with the dog in the way the dog needs them to.
Just through nothing more than a lack of understanding on what’s needed for this breed. Brooks famiky we’re starting to see negative behaviours. Anxiety, frustration, reactivity and non compliance when walking.
10 months later and after having a couple of trainers with no clue. They decided to bring Brook back to us for help and guidance.
In 2 hours we had much more progress than in 10 months. And more importantly we had a more relaxed dog and a more confident, knowledgable Bull Terrier owner.
And then to top it if we had a dog that’s happier and more relaxed.
Walking side by side with another male. Controlled by his now confident mommy.
Which she never thought possible.😊
Both listening, complying, and Brook learning how to be relaxed, how to recognise that actually he can be relaxed, as mommy has the skill to show him the way. To provide him with structure, security and safety.
Training a dog is messy, frustrating and hard for all involved.
But as youll see, as the seconds and minutes pass. The dog and the handler become more relaxed and confident and start to work effectively together.
Other training elements we done and we look forward to seeing progress and more progress.
Rebuilding and changing behaviours.
Well done.👌🏾🐾

Recall. (Using our dogs as distractions) and they are living up to a typical attention seeking bullie behaviour😆
“ If you call them, they should listen”🐾
(how one gets to that level is the question). Consistency and the correct guidance👌🏾
Excellent work, working under distraction using our stooges😆❤️🐾

Helping a friend with their dog today. 😊
An overstimulated Lab.
Great effort, applied pressure to Human & Dog today.
Working with dogs and people is so much easier and more rewarding when people actually listen and implement.
All of us had a great time.
Be your dogs advocate🙏🏾🐾

Breed them right.
Then raise them right and they’ll be balanced, neutral, sociable & a joy. And they won’t embarrass you when out😆🐾❤️

Impulse control:
Do you have issues with your Bullie when it comes to he or she having the ability to control their impulses.
For example:
* Open your front door and your bullies rushes out without any regards.
*Or can’t keep still prior to exiting or entering you home.
* You drive to the park, and have to gently and delicatley open your boot to let the wired up Bullie out. All the while telling your dog to wait,wait,stay,stay,stay…..noooooooo😆
Impulse control and teaching your Bullie this from a very early age and throughout its life. Is very important and will help with socialisation, safety and overall create a calmer Bullie. Without eradicating that fantastic “Bullietude”😊
This exercise is just one of many ways where impulse control applies and should be taught.
Always uping the difficulty level, once the foundations have been taught. Remember to do everything in levels. Start at level 1 & then work to 2,3,4,5 etc.
You don’t need lots of words. No, stop, wait, etc etc etc. Less in fact can be more!
Always finish on a high, never a low and know when the persevere and or to take a break.
Have a relatively easy life with your Bullie, not a life of daily survival. 😆
Be your Bullies advocate🙏🏾🐾❤️

Stimulation exercise:
This video and my actions were done purposely to demosnstrate how quick to stimuli Bull Terriers are. And therefore why it’s important from the outset. We as Bullie owners should Crete calm. Implement stucture, boundaries and work on their impulse control.
Bull Terriers are born loving life, born wanting to bound around, zoomie zoom zoom everywhere and a generally fun loving.
However what they also are, is dogs that have a decent prey drive, like to wrag things up when they have them in there mouths. Also they are very willing and capable to react when challenged & dominate if given half a chance.
My point is this:
There is absolutely no need to be the type of owner that theough are emotional attached to our Bullie. And our inability to control our emotions. Inadvertently create a place of stimuli for our bullies.
*Are you that person that comes in from work and presents excitement to your dog when greeting. And the when he or she gets over excited wants to then tell them off for not calming down.
*Are you the type of owner that when on the park, or play date. Tells your dog something like “go on then, go play, go on”. Or that favourite who’s this pookie, is that your friend” in that high pitched elevating tone.
Rather than juat letting dogs “be” and when they are ready or in a calm place then going to socialise under supervision.
With a dog that already comes pre-packaged (quick to stimulation.). We should be encouraging more calm inside and outside the home.
This overall creating a Bullie that is for the most part relaxed, without losing the Bullietude!
Calm, compliant and engaging but easy to redirect/re-task and just generally listen.
Watch the little pup (white) in the background in this video. And through my purposeful stimulation, what she then tries to do to her Aunty (in the beige jumper).
I start stimulating the Black/Brindle boy but it impacts them all.
In essence, if not doing so already.
