DO FRENCH BULLDOGS BITE A LOT?

French bulldog is a small breed of dog, bred to accompany their owners. They are small but have a vivacious and friendly personality. They are loyal and love to spend time with the family.

A French bulldog is a lovable pet and the good one will never bite without any reason. However, it is always important to know their behavior to avoid any mishaps. 

A recent study tells us that nearly 90% of dog-on-human aggressive behavior stems from fear. This can be caused by a combination of the following factors:

• If you don’t train your puppy to respect your property and the things it comes into contact with, it can become a nightmare
• Frenchies are such friendly and energetic dogs that, unfortunately, they may get agitated if you are too noisy or fast. You should always slowly wake up a Frenchie and take the food or any other toy from him slowly and quietly, even with a treat.
• An unsocialized dog can be potentially dangerous and will be more prone to biting or acting aggressively towards strangers.
