I just got a puppy French bulldog about 3 weeks ago and I am having big problems to potty train him. I already had a Jack Russel and It was really easy training him without even using a crate.This time I am crating the Bulldog at night so he can hold it (I still wake up every 3 hours to take him out). I have been leaving him inthe crate also when I leave but when I am in the house, I let him walk around and he always ends up doing his business. I take him out everytime and reward him for doing it outside but I am starting to lose my tamper and getting very angry at him ( I know it's bad..) Can anyone give me a tip and also I would like to keep him out of the crate all the time just like my Jack Russel but I am losing hope. My wife is pushing to give the puppy away.. I guess I just want to hear that it'll get better....

Bull breeds, including French Bulldogs are notoriously harder to potty train...
You and your family will have to be patient, he will get the hang of it.
Routines do help:
crate time
meal
potty
play

crate time
meal

play

repeat as needed

soon you will be able to decrease the crate time and add hanging out time...
Good Luck!

You don't talk about how old the French bulldog puppy is, so it makes it hard for us to figure out what's really going on here. Because puppies have very short attention spans, it's possible your other dog is distracting the pup and so he's not focused on the house training nearly as well as the Jack was. You don't say if when you take him out, is he going by himself or are you walking both dogs together? Does the puppy potty every time you go out, or are you sometimes going back in before he does? You MUST watch the puppy when he's out on his own. Some dogs house break faster than others - they're like kids, some are really smart at math and others are really smart at writing. They're not all the same and you have to deal with each one individually.

Unfortunately giving a puppy three weeks to be housebroken in a breed that normally takes about six months - you did read up on Frenchies and knew that before you bought it, right? - is a losing proposition. If you decide you need to let him go, please don't give him away but instead contact a French Bulldog rescue group who will take him and place him in a loving home.

You should be using a crate. The fastest way to housebreaking puppies is to start by confining the puppy to a small area. The crate serves this purpose because it brings out your puppy's "den instinct" and provides for a sense of security and well-being. It also acts similar to the way a crib or playpen would for a human baby-- it keeps the pup out of trouble when you are not around to supervise.

I want you to forget everything you’ve been told about dog training. This includes how difficult it can be, how costly it can be, and everything else you’ve been told.

Right now you’re probably reading this message because you’re desperate to finally learn how to not only train your dog quickly and effectively, but you also don’t want to have to spend a huge chunk of cash on professional dog trainers or read yet another dog training book that doesn’t get you results.

You are doing exactly right thing by crate training! My question is ,are you taking him/her straight to the door and outside as soon as you let him/her out? In doing that you are enforcing the pup to follow that behaviour by doing that every single time.IT CAN get better.It will take time ,but will take you making a regiment of crate to outside.I wish you luck.!!!!

Dogs are naturally sociable animals, and to keep one confined one at home is both cruel and unnecessary. All mutts yearn for the freedom to run around and play in the sun, meet other people and other dogs. Many owners are understandably wary of granting their pets such freedom for fear that the dog would simply run away or even attack another animal or person.

Owners of badly behaved pets are in a constant state of worry about their pets. They live in fear of the day when their bad-tempered, poorly trained canine will snap. In such situations dog training is the only solution. While it may seem like a tough task at first, all the hard work you do training your pet will be more than worth it in the end.

What to Expect from Dog Training?

Obedience training, generally speaking, is comprised of several different stages. Dog trainers start with the basics, and build on that. There are no shortcuts when it comes to training your dog. If your dog doesn't understand the basic commands like 'sit', 'stand', 'come' and 'stay' then there's no point in teaching it more advanced commands. Advanced commands can range in anything from asking your dog to fetch to making it roll over or sit up and beg.

Training your dog can take many forms; some of the more popular dog training methods include reward training, clicker training, obedience-training games, and collar or leash training. Whichever method you use, your dog training efforts should, in the end, change that ill-tempered and unmanageable mutt into a quiet, well-behaved dog.

Is Dog Training Really Worth it?

The answer would be a resounding YES! As a pet owner you are responsible for the well-being and maintenance of your dog. While this includes the basics such as food, shelter and love, it also includes the time and effort you put into making your dog safer around your family and community.

The newspapers are full of stories of irresponsible pet owners whose pets run wild, cause damage, and hurt other people. It is not enough to simply look after the basic needs of your dog; you are also responsible for its general behavior and the way it interacts with the world at large.

Can I Train my Dog by Myself?

While it is always easier to get a professional dog trainer to handle your mutt's training, most dog owner's prefer to handle the training themselves. You can do it on your own, provided you come prepared. A little knowledge can go a long way, and this is especially true in dog training. Attend a dog training class with your pet to pick up pointers from an expert; read dog training books and guides; take part in online discussion forums with other dog owners. You will find that your dog training sessions will go a lot easier if you have some prior knowledge of what to expect and some pointers on how to best control the animal.

There is no quick fix for a pet with behavioral problems and no easy way to train it. There will be times during your pet training sessions that you will lose your temper or your dog may snap at you out of frustration. Don't be disheartened! Keep at it, and by the end of your dog training session you will find that you and your dog have bonded like never before.

Training a dog is one of those rites of passage every pet owner has to go through. Ultimately it can be a highly rewarding and supremely gratifying experience for both you and your four-legged pet.

Be patient with it and train it and don't show signs of annoyance to the little guy. And love him and play with him often. Most dogs will listen to their owner's commands only if they're loyal.
