If you own an American Bully, you need to take responsibility for training your dog. However, it\u2019s very frustrating when your pet won\u2019t listen to you. But with the proper training, it\u2019s possible to correct this behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 8 reasons why your American Bully won\u2019t listen to you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Your dog doesn\u2019t understand the command.<\/strong><\/li>
  2. The dog\u2019s training isn\u2019t consistent.<\/strong><\/li>
  3. The dog has a lot of energy.<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Your dog is focusing somewhere else.<\/strong><\/li>
  5. You only reward your dog with food. <\/strong><\/li>
  6. The dog received a reward for bad behavior. <\/strong><\/li>
  7. Your dog is bored.<\/strong><\/li>
  8. You don\u2019t use body language.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I have a lot of experience raising Bullies and can help you understand why your dog won\u2019t listen to you. There are many different situations, but once you identify the problem, you can fix the behavior. I made sure to include everything below, so continue reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Your Dog Doesn\u2019t Understand the Command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    First of all, your American Bully might seem like they\u2019re ignoring you. However, they actually don\u2019t understand the command you\u2019re trying to give them. When was the last time you covered the basic commands with them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It takes a long time for a dog to understand commands fully. You need to train your dog at least twice a day, a few times a week. Training in short bursts is best, with 15 minutes being all you need. Constant training can overwhelm the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The American Bully is a brilliant dog. They\u2019re sure to learn quickly! However, you must go over the basics with them often, so they don\u2019t forget. It takes a long time to solidify commands for dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, make sure that you\u2019ve covered the command well and use a clear speaking voice when talking to your dog. That way, you know they understand what you\u2019re telling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. The Dog\u2019s Training Isn\u2019t Consistent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"kind<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Inconsistent training can also be a problem. If a dog gets different responses towards their behavior, they won\u2019t know what to do, and it may come across as them ignoring you. This situation often happens in families where more than one person raises a dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure to talk with the others at home and develop rules for the dog\u2019s training. Everyone should know what commands to use and how to adequately respond to the dog when they follow the command. Clearing things up at home can significantly improve a dog\u2019s behavior! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It helps to make a chart or list, then display it somewhere easy to see. In short, it\u2019s important to ensure your American Bully has consistent responses to the commands. Otherwise, they may not understand what they\u2019re supposed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. The Dog Has a Lot of Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"american<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    American Bullies are known for being an adaptable breed. They can be relaxed and gentle while at home but incredibly active outside! If your dog isn\u2019t responding to your commands, try to assess their energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your Bully is excited and playful, it can be a lot harder to get them to listen to you. All that built-up energy from being inside can make them too hyper to understand what you need from them. This problem shows up more often in younger dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be sure to take your Bully on a daily walk and offer plenty of exercise through play. You\u2019ll likely notice they\u2019re better behaved when given a chance to get out excess energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In general, your American Bully must have an outlet for all that energy. If they feel overwhelmed and aren\u2019t meeting their needs, they can have a more challenging understanding of commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Your Dog Is Focusing Somewhere Else<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If your Bully won\u2019t listen to you, they may be focused on something else. If you\u2019re trying to train them, but they seem nervous or keep reacting to outside distractions, you may need to go somewhere else for training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your dog could be afraid of the weather, interested in another dog that\u2019s outside, or distracted by the guests that you have over. It\u2019s best to train your dog in an environment without distractions until they get the basic commands. Then, you can move to more public settings once you know they can listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most dogs can only focus on one thing at a time. If there\u2019s another dog nearby, that\u2019s going to take up all their headspace! You\u2019ll need to inspect your environment when your Bully isn\u2019t listening and try to determine what\u2019s causing the distractions. Ultimately, it\u2019s best to have your dog\u2019s full attention during training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. You Only Reward Your Dog With Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Does your dog only seem to follow commands for treats? This bad habit can be hard to break, but you need your American Bully to listen to you even when you don\u2019t have food for bribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lure-and-reward method<\/a> is acceptable to teach basic commands, but only first. You shouldn\u2019t keep luring the dog after two training sessions. If you\u2019re stuck in \u201cluring mode,\u201d your dog will only listen to you when you have food to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All breeds will ignore you if they know they can get a treat out of you. It\u2019s best only to use food rewards to teach the command. Then, you\u2019ll want to practice it as often as possible without giving them treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, use your attention as positive reinforcement! Give your Bully plenty of love and affection when they listen to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. The Dog Received a Reward for Bad Behavior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s possible that you\u2019ve rewarded your dog for bad behavior in the past, causing them to repeat it. After your dog didn\u2019t listen, did you reward them for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, your Bully isn\u2019t listening to the \u201cWait\u201d command and keeps tugging on the leash. If you let them do it before, they were rewarded by getting where they wanted to go. Instead, you need to stand still and be firm with your Bully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, it\u2019s sometimes hard to tell if you reward a dog for their bad behavior on accident. When interacting with your dog, keep their behavior and how you react in mind. It takes a lot of consistency to correct bad behavior in any dog breed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. Your Dog Is Bored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Training should be fun for your dog! If they get bored, they\u2019ll start losing focus and won\u2019t listen. Puppies need shorter training sessions and can lose interest quickly. It might help to begin with five-minute sessions, then slowly work your way up to longer ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can try switching things up with clicker training. The TreatPod Leash Treat Holder and Training Clicker<\/a> (available on Amazon.com) is an excellent option. You get two clickers and a pamphlet detailing using them for the best results. The order also comes with a unique treatpod, allowing you to bring treats with you anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, your dog simply might not be listening because they\u2019re bored. Make sure your Bully gets plenty of breaks and playtime between training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. You Don\u2019t Use Body Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, you might be giving your dog mixed signals unintentionally. Dogs mostly communicate with each other by using body language. If you\u2019re relying too heavily on verbal commands, your dog might not always interpret them correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even if your Bully knows the command, they might associate it with your body language more. Does it seem like they don\u2019t listen unless you point or move in a certain way? In that case, you\u2019ll want to cover the basics again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You might\u2019ve taught the dog to react to your body language only the first time. So, when you don\u2019t use it, your Bully doesn\u2019t know what you want!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
