She’s a puppy. She’s a bull terror puppy - they’re hard work.
I’d absolutely recommend Olli Barter at a-star dog behaviour.

Lou had sessions with him when she was younger and she has stayed with him and his wife (and pack of 6 bull terriers) when we’ve been away. A bit of a drive but worthwhile.
If you want to go for a walk on the Essex Herts border at some point, my offer stands.
Our bully Ned, now nearly 6 years old was really hard work for the first few months, particularly the biting while teething.
We bought a selection of nylabones which are pretty hard so every time he was biting or gnawing on something he shouldn't (furniture, fingers, feet you know) we'd swap it for something he was allowed to chew and he would go to work on that. Also carrots that had been in the freezer. Think of babies teething who need relief.
The other thing that got us through the early stages was wearing him out. Every night I'd come back from work and he had a fixation with brooms so I'd run round the garden with him chasing it. 20 mins of that and he was whacked and he can't bite you or chew the walls when he is snoring.
Anyway it worked. We now have the most chilled dog in the area who has never ruined anything in the house, and is just a furry cushion on the sofa most of the time. Everyone loves him and the fact his disposition belies his looks.

Holy thread resurrection!
Been reading through this thread and it's reminded me why we got one of the little sods. Thanks all, it's made me chuckle:-)
Six months old and he's finally getting some manners....
Don’t believe him!! Look at his eyes. Been reading through this thread and it's reminded me why we got one of the little sods. Thanks all, it's made me chuckle:-)

There are no manners from a bully at any point unless it’s for their gain.

Gorgeous boy- do love a red
Hi, the breeder is Lynn Foley in Redcar, ? comes under the kennel name Leyenda. I think she usually specializes in French Bulldogs but I saw an image of Bruno's dad and then called and this dog was the last one in the litter that was available.
Met both parents when I picked him up, Bruno IS a male version of his mum, he's the spitting image of her and has her temperament.
I love this breed and have been eulogizing about them to anyone that will listen since the day I got him, I am effectively a one man advertising campaign for the EBT.
It's my first dog, I grew up around Jack Russell's and we had some real "characters", I have found that this breed have all of the character but none of the downsides like unpredictability.....
I think that a good one of these is the perfect dog, full of confidence, Bruno is I would say void of any anxiety, flexible to a fault, doesn't annoy my neighbor's, he is practically silent, can you tell yet? I like him!
The only downside, he has almost entirely put me off humans
