If you have an English Bulldog of your own, you will naturally want it to remember the name you have given it. For a young puppy, however, learning its own name is something that also requires training. You can build this gradually through simple exercises in daily life so that the dog learns the name faster.
You want the dog to become used to hearing its own name and to associate that sound with good things and affection. Unless the dog is uncomfortable with being touched, one possible way to end a training session is to place it between your legs, rock it gently, say its name, and calmly rub its belly or stroke its body. Repeat the same game used during hand-feeding: call the dog's name, and if it responds, say ?good dog,? touch its collar lightly, and give it a reward. This exercise can be treated almost like a relaxing massage for the dog.
One very important point is this: when you are trying to correct the dog's behavior, never shout its name. For example, if you want the dog to get off the sofa, stop biting your hand, or drop something it should not touch, do not use its name as part of the scolding. You do not want the dog to accidentally learn that its own name predicts punishment. That would interfere with emotional bonding and delay training, and some dogs may eventually stop responding to their name at all.
So remember: call the dog's name only in moments of praise, reward, and positive interaction.
If you accidentally connected the English Bulldog's name with unpleasant experiences, this can often be repaired through simple games and positive exercises that rebuild the association.
