Mine was a bit like that at that age. The turning point for me was changing when I was doing training and the length of time doing it. It turned out I was doing it too often and for too long, often 10 plus times a day and 10-20 mins. After 5 mins he was done but I wasn't picking up on it...

I hope someone more informed will be along to help. Clearly he is stressed out and perhaps he needs to be eased into it. What routine do you have at night to get him settled in?

Seems some sort of allergy to me and with such things, a vet would be best placed to hopefully pin point it. I had this issue when he was a puppy and the vet first asked I cut everything out that I'm feeding him bar his kibble. No treats, nothing and after a week his flareups subsided, with a...

As others have said, seems normal. It took me a few weeks of constant and gentle training to get him to not jump up on people but what really helped was asking those visiting to ignore him until he sat and was being calm. I read a ton of books, some French Bulldog specific, leading up to...

I don't think anything other than a prescription will clear that up. The key thing for day to day maintenance is to keep it dry, at least that is what I found. I went overboard when I first got Oscar and ended up overmoisturing his folds thinking I was doing him good but in the end it...

Frenchies unfortunately do she quite a lot, at least mine did. I found giving him a good brushing once a week kept the rest of the house a bit tidier and less of him on me.

I had this issue and found, for me at least, that I perhaps just assumed he would be ok. I then simply sat in the car with him for a bit of play or simply putting him in the back seat and lots of praise when he just sat. I then progressed it by 5-10 seconds over the next few days. I kept...

Good day All, Great to be on this forum and I've been enjoying reading the threads and posts so thank you for the add! My little guys name was Oscar and I had him since he was a puppy. In fact, I picked him out when he was roughly 4-5 weeks old. This was my first dog and let's just say I fell...

I lost my Oscar a few days ago and finding this forum and reading your post is what made me register to provide some insight/reply. This sounds just like how my Oscar was which in the end was IVDD. Please read up as much as you can on this or if you have insurance and/or the means, get him to a...
