“French Bulldogs are strong, high-energy dogs with a lot of drive. People often get them because they’re cute, but they need proper outlets and training. If you don’t give them appropriate ways to use their energy and drive, they’ll find their own ways to express it.” –Dylan Beck, Training Director
