What this means for a Frenchie

Frenchies have a reputation for being stubborn, but most of the time they are under-motivated, not defiant. A reward-based trainer finds what your dog will work for and keeps sessions short enough to stay fun. For more, see our guide to force-free French Bulldog training.
