#16 Training the Bull Terrier, like training fighting dogs such as the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Bordeaux Dog, requires patience, firmness and time from the owner.
If the dog is properly trained, it will react adequately to the people and animals around it and will not show cowardice or aggression.
The education of the Bull Terrier begins from the first day of its arrival in the house when the owner begins to practice simple skills with it: knowledge of the name, proper behavior at home, knowledge of its place, and forbidding commands. It is important to let him know that he has the last place in the family hierarchy. In order for the bull terrier to grow calm and confident, it is important to walk him a lot in places where there are a lot of strangers, traffic, and other animals.
Experts advise starting systematic training from 6-7 months of age. The process should have a direction from simple to complex, you can not start learning a new command if the previous one is not fully worked out and the dog performs it unclearly.
Consistency, encouragement with a treat, exclusion of punishment and monotony in lessons, confidence and firmness of the owner - a guarantee of successful training.
