Top Five Housebreaking Tips
 Housebreaking your new Bulldog Puppy may seem like a daunting task, but with a bit of insight into dog psychology and these proven tips, your new Bully will learn quickly.
1.) Select the site. Before your new Bulldog enters your house, introduce him to the specific area of your yard you’ve already designated as his. He’ll soon associate it with bathroom breaks.
2.) Visit it often. It’s best to take your new Bulldog outside about every two hours as well after playing and feeding and before going to bed. In addition, be alert to signals like sniffing and circling that may indicate he has to go.
3.) Use his crate. When you can’t be there, crate your Bulldog. When you are sleeping, crate your Bulldog. Your Bulldog respects his new “den” and will avoid soiling it. If you are using newspapers, towels or some other form of "bedding" in your Bulldogs crate and he is still soiling inside, then remove his bedding. He will not soil his crate with nothing there to soak it up for him. It may take a couple nights before he catches on to this. Make sure that your Bulldog Puppy is atleast 12 weeks of age before attempting this. Bulldog puppies under 12 weeks just can not hold their potty all night long.
4.) Correct him kindly. Accidents will happen. Remember that shouting, scolding and punishment serve no purpose and will only confuse your Bulldog. Even if you catch him in mid-act, simply say “No!” and immediately take him outside.
5.) Praise him. Lavish praise on your Bulldog each time he goes outside in his assigned spot. Speak in an upbeat voice, smile and reward him with treats after he does his business.
Remember - A new Bulldog puppy needs lots of positive reinforcement during housebreaking.
Bulldogs are Very Sensitive to the sound of their Owners voice as well, which makes them pretty easy to potty train.
