Bulldogs World

Love your family photo.  As long as you continue with the same routine in your new house he should have no problem.  Are you rewarding him with treats when he does what you want?  That may help with him walking on leash. 

I love him and his name too!!

What an absolute doll!!!  Keep those pictures coming, please!

I had the same problem with Duchess walking she would just stand there, she hated it.  I got a martingale collar and the trainer told me to just keep 

moving, she will get the message.  Now she walks really good on the leash.

Love the Eagles shirt!  Half my family are Eagle fanatics and the other half Steelers, makes for some good family dinners!

what a beautiful bulldog!!!

Looks like he's all ready for football season :)

k but he is just too cute for words!!!

smoochies the scrunchy face

the family photo is beautiful-love the matching shirts w/his daddy...too

p[recious for words!!!

As far as the walking on a leash--  At his age you want to go for loose leash walking . When he walks you want the leash to be loose to the point where it makes a loop from your hand to him. There are a couple of steps to teaching this skill.

Part one

Have some treats ready.

Relax and hold the leash near your body.

Reward him for being calm and paying attention.

If he pulls out to the end of the leash, don't move and don't try to reel him in.

Wait for him to return to you.

When he does reward him..

Part two

Say, "His name, Let's go" and take a step. 

Keep him relatively close to you.

If he dashes to the end of the leash make a quick about turn and walk the other way. He'll get a bit of a jerk but also the message.

He'll soon learn to pay attention and stay with you.

Reward him while he is walking as you want him to not when you stop.

Walk him about 30 minutes a day.

Change up the treats.

I like a Martingale collar.

This worked well with Phoebe and maybe it will with Seamus.

what great pictures love the close up of him on the couch I would have that printed in a large size and frame for the family photo wall :-)  and your family photo...awesome!!! thanks for sharing I love seeing the humans that belong to the bulldog!!

He is one good looking boy!!

Don't you live in D.C.?  How does he get by wearing that Eagles jersey????

Otis does awesome on his walks, but when we first got him he would do the same thing...flat out REFUSE to move. I started taking treats on his walks to lure him to move those little legs. It helped somewhat, but I think he also just learned eventually on his own. If Seamus is treat motivated (which I'm guessing he is since he is a bulldog) maybe you could try it. Patience is key!!!

Seamus is in that dapper sweater!!!

Sorry, I don't know about the potty training, but good luck! :-)
