Summer season opening is one of the most pleasant things for English Bulldog. Living in the country is like the icing on the cake for your pet. Neither emotionally stressful rings, nor walking, but just living a country-house and, in the smartest variant, year-round living in the country-house...
We all Metropolis citizens sometimes are off of a jolt of fresh air, warm sun and just a pastime in the open air. Our Bulldogs are no exeption. The ideal variant of keeping the English Bulldog is when you live in a private residence with a garden or a lawn around it. Such living conditions have not all, but just a few, owing to different life circumstances.
Summer season for Bulldogs is a great opportunity to strengthen and normalize their health; to fill their body with calciferol (vitamin D) that sun helps them to produce; to eat up a storm of fresh green grass and to walk freely at any time. This stimulates metabolic processes in Bulldog's organism as there is no need to control its animal needs to 2-3 times a day. However, there is a small disadvantage, when your British Bulldog wants to go outside early in the morning, it can stand at the door and bark untill you will open it. You should get up and let your pet out for its morning proceeding.
These snub-nosed dogs like to luxuriate in sunshine or lay on the ground in a shadow of greenery. As a rule, all attempts to walk your Bulldog out of your territory cause its sturdy defiance. It is quite enough for it a fenced territory around the house for getting an eyeful of surroundings and for satisfying its physiological needs as well. Just accept Bulldog's vital philosophy and stop torture each other. Enjoy the glory of nature in your garden. If you have a desire to go in a forest, it is better to do this alone with human members of your family.
During your trip to the country remember and don't forget about possible problems you can suffer. Not all Bulldogs, as well as people, can sand extensive trips by car. It is desirable to accustom your Bulldog from the early puppyhood. The earlier you start, the less panic and fear your Bulldog will feel during your car trips. You should try to accompany your trips with tasty dog treats, such as dog bones, biscuits and some tasty slices, which your little doggie likes most of all and gets them rear. In such a way you will praise your pet for its patience at the end of your trip. Thus, your kid will like your car trips and won't fall into shock when you push it with a skit of your thing into the car and go for a few hour trip to the country. The matter is that at stressful situation Bulldog has such heath problem as trouble breathing. When your pet feels stress, it opens its mouth and begin to pant, in spite of the fact that you can set your air conditioner to a freezing temperature.
Don't start your trips with such unpleasant episodes like vet visiting as in this case your Bulldog will associate going by car with stress of pain and will refuse to go with you. Start driving on small distances to the nearest park, take dog toys with you to play with or get together with other Bulldog owners, living nearby in your area for pleasant walks.
