Grooming Your Bulldog should be thoroughly brushed at least three times a week.  Most Bulldogs love to be brushed.  Use a soft bristle or rubber brush.  Start at the rear and brush against the hair.  After you've brushed the entire dog against the grain, brush it with the grain.  Follow this with a good rub down.  This will keep his hair shiny and his skin healthy.  During shedding time, spring and fall, you may need to brush more often, give more frequent rubdowns.  The idea is to remove the dead hair and distribute the natural oils. Wrinkles Bulldogs tend to have messy face wrinkles.  The older they get, the messier the wrinkles.  How often you clean these wrinkles depends on the dog.  Some do very well if you clean the wrinkles a couple of times a week.  Some need it on a daily basis.  When you clean the wrinkles, wash his nose and apply a good rub of Vaseline to keep it soft.  It's better to clean more often than you think you need to than not often enough.  You can clean the wrinkles with a soft, damp cloth and then dry.  Or you can wash them using the shampoo you use to bathe the dog.  Be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly.  One of the best ways is to wipe the wrinkles clean with Baby Wipes with lanolin and aloe.  Whatever method you use, be sure to get the deep nose wrinkle clean. "House" Training The key here is consistency.  Take the pup outside, preferably to the same area each time, as soon as he wakes up, about ten minutes after each meal, about every hour when he's awake, just before his nap or night bedtime.  The puppy must empty bladder and bowels before he goes to bed for the night.  Always praise the puppy as he is going, and move away from the area as soon as he is finished.  Very few dogs will soil their beds, so it is best to keep him confined at night and any time you cannot watch him. If you see the pup "hunting" (sniffing and circling) take him outside immediately.  If you see him urinating or defecating in the house, say "NO, NO" and take him outside at once.  Do not scold him unless you catch him in the act.  Praise for correct behavior works much better than punishment for "incorrect" behavior.  Remember, a puppy is a baby, his capacity is small, his muscle control limited.  Be consistent, be patient, and you will succeed in training him to go outside, not inside.
