OK so, I know what to do when T.C. (french bulldog puppy, turning 8 weeks this sunday) chews or does something he doesn't... like when he bites too hard, I make a rather high-pitched noise (like a puppy when he gets hurt), turn my back and walk away for a bit, and he stops and sits down for 2 seconds or so.
HOWEVER, french bulldogs are known to be stubborn and curious, and he gets distracted very easily. Idk how long it takes for him to learn his name, since I do pet him everytime he looks or comes to me, telling him he's a good boy, but he still doesn't grasp it as well, but he's very slowly learning... I think.
When he's chewing on something (e.g. cables, furniture, etc.), I usually take him away from it and make a correctional noise, and often try to redirect him towards something else to chew on, like a toy, but he still 90% of the time goes back to what he was chewing on before that he's not supposed or allowed to chew on. He's overall quite energetic and he's been in this house since August 31st.
I'd like to train him as early as possible and all that crap, and idk if there are appropriate puppy treats, but I wanna try it and make him a really good dog, you know. He's already grasping the concept of holding his bladder and waiting until he's outside, and overnight he poops in his crate on the newspaper area which is good.
I'm considering asking the lady (since she works at the vet near my house) if she got treats or if there exists treats appropriate for training use. We're going there either Saturday or Monday since he'll get his vaccination.
So... if anyone, esp. those who raised french bulldog puppies before, it'd be great and very appreciated if you could give me some tips. ;;;____;;;
Yeah he hasn't got much of an interest in his toys. He plays with them, sure, but never too long and later gets distracted by a not-toy. :c
He does seem quite fond of running outside in the grass, back and forth, chasing after us humans. u____u But I think he's mainly after our feet, probably because it's on his eye level and it's the thing he sees moving the most. Luckily it does tire him out.

I've not raised a French bulldog puppy, but I do know there are plenty of dog treats and puppy treats made specifically for training training! It's just a matter of finding them. I'd suggest asking around at your local pet stores and doing simple google searches for reviews on brands and anything else you're not sure of. If his toys aren't catching his interest, he might think you taking the other not-toys away is play? Maybe try playing with him with the toy and tire him out first so that he'd rather take a nap. Good luck with the pup! :)
