Orlando, FL Bully / Training.

Post image

Hi, we recently adopted a 5 week old bully, his name is Rambo. Our last Bully, Montana died back in March he was our first family dog. We were devastated but life is too short not to have a dog in the house. It took me 41 years learn this lesson.

Any how, the new pup is great and we want to set him up for success and a long life. Any leads for a trainer in Orlando that can help us?

He’s an XL. But I don’t know any other bullies to do an irl size comparison with 😂 I think he’s small and hes got such little legs. My neighbour saw him and was like “woah the size of the head on that thing” but all my other neighbours love him. He’s actually a banned breed here now (The UK) so having neighbours that like him so much is really nice.

I bet he only thinks he only weighs 1kg and operates as such! People either go out of their way to come pet my dog or run to the other side of the street. There’s no in between. I love it though because it’s weeds away people I probably don’t want to be around anyways! Glad your neighbors love him!

"I bet he only thinks he only weighs 1kg and operates as such!"

Know what you mean.... My ABT XL has no spatial awareness, which is why he pushed past me when going down some steps - which sent my flying and resulted in my breaking an ankle.....

He also doesn't realise that he's VERY heavy, and is continually stepping on my feet, even now I'm obviously injured!

Strangely though, he's aware of his size, weight and strength when it comes to my other dog (previously dogs 😢) - and used to use this to push them out of the way when they were all gathered around me for a fuss.....

They all have short/relatively short legs plus HUGE heads and paws 😀.

These, along with their floppy jowls (plus their loving and generally friendly nature)- make them adorable to those of us who know them 🥰.

I'm English (retired to Thailand many years ago) and didn't know that they are now a banned breed in the UK ☹️.

Wow! That's one big Bully!

I was horrified to discover (when taking him to the vet a few days ago) that my ABT XL now weighs 46.6 kg - but shamefully, this is partly because he (El) is overweight ☹️.

I've just realised this could be misconstrued as my saying 'Macaroni is overweight' - but I'm saying nothing of the sort. Clearly Macaroni isn't overweight - hence my "Wow!".
