Where to start
Usually motivated by food and calm company. Use that in training and keep sessions short and rewarded.
First focus
Use food rewards and short sessions: a Bulldog will happily lie down on the job.
Next
Be patient and consistent with house training, and keep a regular schedule.
Daily habit
Teach loose-leash walking early with a comfortable, well-fitted harness.
Breed notes describe tendencies in a group of dogs, not your dog. Every dog is an individual, and Dogify does not assess your dog. This is general training information and not a substitute for a qualified professional.
