How do you go about adding a new dog to the pack? It's a bulldog by the way.

if he growls at anybody beat the living hell out of him , if he does it again beat him half to death - twice ... no more problems with him .
1 dog fight can cause years of dogfights . i've seen it and had it , I KNOW !

We have had the best success by taking things slow and easy. Don't try to force the new dog into the pack. Keep the new dog in his own kennel or chain. Be sure to put a good natured dog ( preferably of the opposite sex) next to the new dog. As the new dog gets comfortable in their new environment slowly introduce them to each pack member. When you feel the time is right, test them by loading them into the box with a dog they get along with. You can always tie them up short with a double snap until you trust them.
-
Adding a new dog WILL upset your pack's social structure. Patience is the key.
-
We have a rule that no bulldog is ever allowed to run loose or be kenneled with another dog unless a capable adult is present. We have learned the hard way that preventive measures are required with any bulldog.
-
Good luck with the new dog! I'm sure they will be a nice addition to your operation.

The other thing that helps (in my opinion) is that the bulldog knows his job. If he is focused on hogs he will pay less attention to the other dogs. I have started a couple bulldogs from gamestock and the first thing they ever got there teeth into was a hog and they were able to ride the trailer with other dogs in no time.

I take the jdt approach haha! I'll walk a new one around on lead to all my dogs... with a switch in my hand. If there's any rudeness I take care of it right then and there. I like to be able to put all my dogs in a box, bulldogs included, with no issues.

I am with those that will take it slow...just got a bulldog about 2 weeks ago...he was nervous for a few days around the other dogs...but I made sure the other dogs kept their distance...he was ready to pounce...now he is totally laid back...but I treat all bulldogs like a loaded 357 magnum...the plan is exactly as already mentioned...he won't be turned loose around my other dogs until he makes his first catch...which he is ready now...will start him with a vest around the yard a few times so he can be used to the vest...just trying to make all the right moves as I go...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

thanks mike , i don't always word myself correctly .
my first problem was years ago when i still lived at home . my mother got an english bulldog that she thought more of than me , spoiled him terribly . he went out 1 day to piss was thinking he owned the place and jumped on 1 of my pups on a chain . from then on i had to watch all my dogs that i HAD been working and hauling together . i had a little training session while mom was at work and after that he acted right as long as she was not there and he was wearing a shock collar .
1 time i told her if your worthless dog gets his ass whipped from a dog on a chain he deserves it . but like i say it is contagious , after i moved out i got that disease cured with alot of work until a couple years ago when i had a gyp in heat on a horse trailer and a neighbors dog came from 3/4 mile and jumped on a dog i had here ... now i have to watch what i put in the box together and what i put together working .
like i said , 1 fight can turn into generations of fights .
