This bulldog I've walked before he bit another dog and pulls towards other dog when he's out. I don't know weather he's had opportunity to socialise with other dogs so he is confused by them.

The dog needs proper training by one of the staff at the centre, so please let them know of his behaviour

You can't control him so I hope you aren't taking him outside the dogs home grounds

Is this the one you have written about before at the coffee shop?

I have seen how to curb this behaviour on

channel 5 .  Graeme Hall the dogfather "Dogs behaving (very) badly". ...worth watching 

Dogs by nature will want to check out other dogs (A-hem) but agree with above posts if He/She has not being trained even the most basic cammands 'No' 'Sit' or 'Stay' shouldn't be allowed outside the aforementionend compound. Not only putting other dogs, the public and Youself at risk if he hasn't.

Dogs can be temperamental and change in a flash, be careful and as suggested be sure to let them know of his behaviour truthfully as I'm sure the'll have asked.

No you have to report this to ( whomever) - you cannot take a dog out if you know he is a biter.

The possibility / danger is that he has been turned in as a stray or unwanted

and is in fact known to be a fighter - trained to be a fighter and the owner just doesnt want him

( yes I am speaking from experience) - dog in canal story but it has probably been deleted

Abbey, I'm sure there are other, less risky dogs, that would love you to take them out.  You seem like a very caring person where the dogs are concerned, and  you would enjoy the company of the dogs much better if you weren't constantly worrying about what might happen when you are out with the bulldog.  I don't think you are decisive enough, or experienced enough, to be in charge of a powerful dog like this, especially one that has a history of aggression and violence towards other dogs. 

It is very remiss of the people in charge of the dogs to allow you to take him out at all.  

Please stop putting yourself and others at risk by taking this dog out. 

Please, stick with the more predictable dogs, and both you and the dogs can enjoy your walks better.

DDL yes

Staff always tell people that walk him about it and another walker said he don't think he knows his own strength.

Should be euthanised.

I am shocked that the staff haven't trained him properly 

Of course they don't have no concept of their own strengh and of what you what you weigh.
I do hope that your given a much lighter dog next time really, however not having read all previous posts if you have a bond with this dog then you have to be the Alpha. Let them know who's in command before you even set off.

Question Author

Yeah they said I cant have large bull breeds bur not forever 

Abbey, Is it a French bulldog ? they can also be a bit aggressive, so the staff MUST give proper training before they let anyone take them out. They are failing in  their duty.

I hope he is not yet up for rehoming ?

Question Author

Big bulldog and yes he is been there since March.

Was abandoned at the vets.

I have seen some of the Frenchies up for rehoming, descibed as having " a cheeky grin and wriggly bum" etc. but they should be neutered and completely trained

Actually, he DOES know his own strength and he clearly knows that the person handling him has no control.  I do not think you should be walking him unless he is muzzled.  I'd ask to walk another dog.

Every dog up for rehoming should be neutured

Dogs have no concept of their own strength.  That's why you sometimes get miniature Yorkies who think they're Rambo.  You shouldn't be walking strong dogs, abbey, and he should be muzzled when out and about.

I would hope the dog has already been neutered or speyed
