Is your French bulldog puppy aggressive? Try these quick fix tips!

French bulldog puppies are usually intelligent, loving and well-behaved dogs, but something can go wrong with any breed. Whether it’s a bad breeder not socializing properly or something you’re doing wrong, your pup could be aggressive. But don’t worry, all hope is not lost. Try these tips to stop your French bulldog puppy’s aggression in its tracks!

1. Growling, growling, snapping, and other signs of aggression can quickly become dangerous to you and your family. When your puppy exhibits these behaviors, it usually means that he is trying to dominate you and the other members of your family. To stop these behaviors, you must show him that you are alpha and that you should be respected as such. In a pack of dogs, the alpha dog is rarely challenged by others. The sooner you show that you are the leader of the pack, the sooner your pup’s aggressiveness should decrease.

2. Showing aggressive behaviors with food, treats, toys and bones can also be a problem in puppies. Alpha dogs control who eats and when he is in the pack – you must emulate the alpha in the pack. When you’re preparing his food, keep him out of the room so he can’t bark or jump on you. When you’re ready for him to eat, call him over to his eating area and have him sit quietly for at least 5 seconds before giving him his plate. This will show your pup that you are in control of when he eats, which means you are alpha, not him.

3. Above all else, don’t let your French bulldog puppy think they can get away with showing signs of aggression. When your pup growls or displays other aggressive behaviors, immediately tell him “no” in a loud, harsh tone so the message is loud and clear.
