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
