Training and socialising your new bull terrier puppies
Part One: Introducing your new bull terrier puppy to his/her new home
Before you go to collect your new Bull Terrier puppy it is essential to have your home ready for him/her. This will help your newest family member to become part of the pack from the very start. Be sure to make him/her a pack member and not let him/her become pack leader. Ensure that you have decided where he/she will sleep. In bed with you is not recommended, if for no other reason than that Bull Terriers have a tendancy to snore ( very loud ). A crate/cage is recommended. You should position in a quiet spot and away from any drafts. If possible, try to arrange collection of your pup at the weekend so that you have a little time to break him/her into his/her new enviroment. From the moment you bring your puppy into your home, try to leave him/her for short periods of time so that he/she becomes used to being left. It can be very stressful for a puppy to spend a whole weekend in the company of his new family having lots of fuss and play to then be left on monday morning when the family gets back to normal life. It is much kinder to your pup to get him/her into your families routine from the start rather than booking a week off work to spend with him/her. It is essential though if the family works to ensure that some one pops back to spend time with a puppy during the day to feed him and let him/her relieve themselves. Not forgetting plenty of time for play…. to be continued.

DIET
It is important that your puppy remains on the diet advised by the breeder for the initial period of entering its new home. Any sudden change could lead to your puppy becoming ill. If you wish to change its diet then ensure that any change is done as a additional and gradual change over a number of days/weeks. Bull terriers seem to do better kept to certain foods and do not do well if food is changed.

We have found that pedigree complete chicken and rice has worked the best for us. We mix this with minced chicken and or minced tripe. We feed the puppy formular up until they are 9 months old and then put them on to junior until they are about 18 months old and then on to adult.
When they get to about 7 years old it may be time to put them on to the lite variety if their waist begins to spread.
We are aware that pedigree is possibly not the best on the market but for our Draydur Bull Terriers we think it is No1.

If youv’e had your Bull Terrier puppy from a genuine conserning breeder,
your pup should have had it’s first innoculation at the age of 8 weeks, at this time it should have had the all clear from the vet because whilst the puppies are there they will also receive what we here at Draydur Bull Terriers like to call, their first Doggie M.O.T. (this would actually be their 2nd as they would have been to the vet after the first few days to check for clef palets etc.)
This means that at 8 weeks old they are ready for their big new adventure in their new enviroment with a lot of new smells to digest. Sometimes this can be an unsettling time for a Bull Terrier puppy. They are a creature of habbit and it may take a few days to settle in so to speak. All your puppy needs at this time is to be loved and reasured that they are very very special and that you are going to be there for him/her for the rest of his/her life.
After a few days (most puppies imediately) your puppy will be comfortable in it’s new home and his/her new owners will be hooked on Bull Terriers forever.
It is now that you should take him/her along to see the local vet and ask them to give the pup their 2nd M.O.T.
This will not only reasure you that you have brought an healthy puppy it will get him/her used to going to the local vet.
After 2 weeks you will need to take him/her back to the vets for their 2nd set of jabs, you should have been given their vaccine card with the first jabs details on by the breeder. Your own vet can then update the puppies new jab details and give you the card back to use the next year.
The puppy should remain confined to the house and garden for the next 2 weeks until fully inoculated. This time can be used to teach your new boy or girl to learn simple commands, this will help once you take them out into the big wide world.
You ncan teach him/her to come when called, sit, how to act with a collar on (this could take some getting used to) and then once the collar is forgoten about and he/she stops trying to put their paws behind the collar and wrench it off their neck, it is time to introduce them to their lead.
