My God Bulldogs are STRONG

Go To

So my neighbor has a bulldog, and even though the thing is about the size of my parent's beagle, it is IMMENSELY STRONG. Truly, the thing can knock me over when he gets excited, and he has a bad habit of clamping on with his front legs and never letting go of your foot. It's like a tiny bear hug, except that YOU LOSE A LIMB. Anyone know of a good way to play with this sweet thing, but not get my bones crushed? His owner just yanks him off of me, and I hate when that happens - I just want to play with the dog in a calm and controlled manner, not get tackled and then have the poor puppy yanked off of me by the collar!

A shotgun should do the trick.

Make Fido go play catch...in HELL.

I have had a similar experience. There's a young woman who owns an Ovcharka dog. Apparently, its there to help guard the lady's grandma, who I sometimes see walking it.

Its humongous, easily able to stand on its hind legs and leap up on people. This is where things usually go comically wrong. The dog will try to play with you and have fun, problem is its so big its liable to knock you down.

Its name is Bear, kind of appropriate.

Stars, the dog needs to be trained. It's just that simple.

He shouldn't be allowed to jump on or clamp onto people. If the neighbor doesn't have the time to take him to obedience classes, see if she'd be willing to pay the fee if you'll actually take him to the classes and work with him. That is, assuming that you have the time.

This is especially true if he's still a puppy. A full grown bulldog weighs about 50 pounds — that's roughly as much as an average five-to-six-year old child. And he'll be even stronger. Jumping up may be "cute" now. It won't be then.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

As long as you are friendly to the lady and the grandma, then Bear is very friendly.

And yeah, Bear is as big as the dog in that picture.

But I doubt Grandma needs much guarding, she's a freaking Bad Ass.

Yup, definitely a case for puppy preschool or an equivalent. Disobedient dogs are only cute when they're little, and in my opinion not even then.

Be not afraid...

My neighbors have fucking doberman which is appallingly disobedient.

One of these days some one is going to hurt because of it, and it's not going to be me...
