Potty train an English Bulldog is usually not an easy task. They are not so famous about their intelligence or trainability. With any puppy, housebreaking requires patience, repetition, and consistency so they can understand what you want. The best way dog trainers recommend to start potty training is to use a crate. Most dogs will not urinate or defecate in their crate as they treat it as a “den” like safe place and that’s why it is an invaluable tool for housebreaking. You will need to consistently show/tell the puppy what kind of behavior we desire.
