About the American Bulldog
Known for their confident and athletic working dog who is loyal and protective but often unaware of their considerable size and strength, American Bulldogs have a muscular confidence and goofy affection that makes them powerful teddy bears with a stubborn streak.
Common American Bulldog Training Challenges
The most common challenge American Bulldog owners face is jumping and not knowing their own strength. Other frequent issues include jumping, pulling, dog selectivity, and accidental roughness.

Picture your Am Bulldogs jumping on everyone who walks through the door, pulling you sideways on walks, and getting reactive around other dogs.
The Right Training Approach for American Bulldogs
The key to training a American Bulldog lies in leveraging their natural deep desire to please their family and food motivation that makes training surprisingly effective with the right approach. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
American Bulldogs are powerful athletes who genuinely do not understand they weigh 100+ pounds. Teach spatial awareness and gentle manners early -- a jumping American Bulldog can knock an adult off their feet.
American Bulldog puppies should learn impulse control and gentle play by 12 weeks, before their rapid growth makes bad habits physically dangerous.
The Transformation
Whether your American Bulldog is a rambunctious puppy or a muscular adult who doesn't know their own strength, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your big-hearted Bully sitting calmly when guests arrive, walking on a loose leash even past other dogs, and responding to your voice from across the yard.
