dont use the collar on your dog unless your willing to put it around your neck and shock your self. If you do that you will not put it on your dog.

Sign up for obedience classes, teach your dog mannors. If he can not behave put in a crate when company comes.

run from a trainer who suggests that.


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

Is that what it is? Please find a good positive reward based training program. Preferably a school that comes recommended.
Good luck, you have lots of work to do, but it is possible.
Each time he does that negative behaviour, the more it will occur.

I would find a trainer who uses positive reinforcement.

your making the right decision....you cant potty train a baby in a month....and a dog has the ability of a three yo....it takes time...and being consisten..believe me...i have walked away from a training session...and its becasue I was some how not communicating the right way....i always put a failure in training on me...and if you think of it that way...you will solve your problems...
good luck and keep us posted ..... always ask questions many of us have been in the same boat...and were still rowing....

1-be positive, in your own ability to solve this, and in the dog's ability to overcome previously learned behavior.

2-be consistent. Try a couple approaches and then settle on one that seems to work "sometimes" and commit to it, use the same one or two-word commands, and practice this correction in many different situations (home, yard) but if you go out in public, go away from noisy distractions...set yourself up for success.

3-don't try to do too much at once. Choose one or possibly two behaviors that you need to work on first (getting his attention and holding it for a bit=call his NAME firmly?) and then possibly OFF (no jumping up)and use your hand to point down as well as perhaps raising your knee to his chin? or whatever you choose.

4-keep notes. If you find that you are making progress, however much time it takes, you will be encouraged when you can read about him learning several new behaviors.

If you don't have access to a good small positive-reinforcement programmed dog training group, go online or to your library.

Thanks for all the feed back. I too agree it's owners fault that is why i wanted to hire a trainer. i was hesitant about using the collar the trainer did bring it with her to show me the collar and it was more like a vibration. i will not be using it.

I couldn't agree with you more!

training police k9 and they were rotties,,,,i never had to use either a pinch collar or electric collar....i would stronly vote against using one on a bulldog...they dont have a strong come back...their feeling are just not that hard...and this device would be to much even on a low setting....bulls in general are not that tough....i would get a spray bottle with water...a can with coins.....
with wilson feet biting was a big thing....he would be told no once and pushed away...if he did it again in the crate for 15 min....we did this for a week....guess what no feet biting...he is a social butterfly and being in is crate takes him away from being the center of attention....i never yelled at him never told him but once to stop...
most bad behavior is from the owner not being consistent....it takes time their is nothing that will fix itself in 24 hrs......
and after 20 years believe me its not the dog who is the problem lol....

on a child. If they have bad habits it's because we have failed to teach them proper ones. Classes, Classes, Classes and Consistency. I inadvertently taught my kid all kinds of bad habits by being a loving mom. 1st they retrained me.... Then we retrained the dogs. PLEASE don't use a shocker collar to fix what you probably taught your dog to do.
