Real feedback from Bull Terrier owners who worked with WBT.

Lana is our second bullterrier, our first was male and a completely different kettle of fish from this little Madame.

Lana has only just turned 2 and I suppose we first started noticing problems at around one year-old but put it down to puppy behaviour.

Thankfully we crate trained right from the start and noticed that the only time or place she would sleep was in her crate, she just would not or could not settle anywhere except in her crate.

She would become very nippy when she was tired and was targeting my partner constantly.

We had scheduled naptime for her but came to realise that we were misjudging when she needed her naps.

Like many others on here, I was sceptical about paying money to an online trainer that I had never met but decided to take the chance and boy am I glad I did!

Our training program was clear, concise, detailed and thorough.

What we have come to realise through the training, is that 90% of the probleml lay with us, But… following clear instructions and changing how we behave has made a world of difference and it’s all thanks to WBTK

The communication is amazing and nothing is too much trouble, no matter what I asked I always got a detailed explanation.

I cannot recommend enough.

Thank you WBTK and I look forward to the next step of training

It started 5 years ago. The vet and puppyschool told us she went in heat because she started to bleed a few drops. To keep it short she wasn’t in heat she had a uterus infection and needed surgery right away. Before surgery she started to become agressive towards us. Snapping. Lashing out. Ofcourse after surgery everyone told us it was because of her hormones. So the first trainer we had told us he was not familiar with female dogs. Makes you wonder yes. Then the second trainer tried everything. Snacks. Commands. Even scents. Yes the spray bottles with Orange scent or Jasmine. Eventualy hé told us to go to a vet clinic for a trial run. Something with magnets on her head to give a better blood flow in her brain. Makes you wonder again. But the vets put her on medication and told us we should ignore her explosions. By now we are 3 years in the proces. Stil no improvement. Last year we had another trainer that told us we should hold her on a short leash till she stopped exploding. I felt like a cowboy catching a calf on a rodeo. Not pleasant for her and not for us. Then we kinda let it go and hoped for the best. Until we found you guys on Facebook. We where carefull because it was online and no physical meetings. So I think it was april or may that we started. You did explain that this behaviour could not be fixed in a few weeks because it was build over years. But you amazed us. Ecspecially me. A year ago I was not able to come near bonnie without her lashing out or trying to attack me and now it seems I am the one that handles her the most. You told me it was not only Bonnie that changed but it was also me. Week after week you have us a new plan. Protecting what works and fine tuning things that didn’t. However we are not there yet but it has been amazing to see our girl decompress.

Thank you for being on this journey with us and taking us serious.

I have Owed an English bull terrier before, so stupidly thought, my next puppy would be the same same. How wrong I was, Walter is a typical teenage youth, who finds the world so stimulating, he will show this by grabbing the lead in public, playing rig of war, jumping at me, and ripping my clothes. He had great recall as a puppy, but loves everyone and everything.

One day my husband was on a walk, and Walter decided he wanted to play with another dog, the owner thought Walter was going to kill her dog, he wasn’t, doesn’t have a bad bone in his body, the owner started screaming, and jumping up, so Walter decided she was a human toy, and jumped up and ripped her jacket and caught her skin. Police were involved. Luckily police met him, and loved him, but this could not go on, I tried training classes lots of exercise, general stimulation. Then I came across working bull terrier posts. I messaged, and the response was fast.

We have been working together for 2 months now, and Walter has changed a lot, still a lot more to do, but the stimulation to life has calmed down, and he listens so much more to me now. We are still on lead walks, but we will get there. Rehoming Walter is not an option, nor was a muzzle for a life. I feel my stress levels have reduced and the sleepless nights worrying about his future and what it would have been are reducing.

Words can’t say enough, how grateful I am.

I started working with WBTK a few months ago – we were dealing with all the typical issues people express as typical bull terrier behaviour and that’s just the breed and it will get better with age and they will calm down. I always felt that wasn’t the case and that most of this behaviour was down to our own lack of understanding and how to properly manage these behavioural challenges and difficult situations that presented themselves on a daily basis which would some days end in complete frustration and exhaustion for me and my family. Zeus is a young very big bull terrier for his age and he is very powerful, taking Zeus for a walk he would pull, fixate and get very overstimulated by the outside world and would not pay any attention to me in the slightest and if we see people and others dogs he would get so excited and jump up people and he was starting to hurt people due to his size, Zeus had some difficulty and challenging behaviour at home to the point me and my family were using preventive measures to stop him randomly grabbing objects / eating and chewing on items and having zoomies and jumping and biting our clothes and hands we almost felt completely broken down by the time we reached out to WBTK. I had put a lot of effort into Zeus and have a wonderful bond with him and we had a great foundation to work from. Over the last few months me and my family and Zeus have learned so much from WBTK and they have been able to help us understand Zeus and how to manage some of the challenges we were having and these last few months have been calmer and not as exhausting Zeus is still a work in progress as we continue to work with WBTK but the improvement in these last 6 weeks from all of us has made our home less conflictual around Zeus and his behaviour and has given us all some peace 🤗 getting rid of Zeus would never be an option for us and we would just keep going but the way it was making us feel was awful after months of dealing with these challenges that were just escalating the bigger he got. But thanks to WBTK they have saved our household from complete breakdown and gave us the strength to learn and grow as a family with Zeus. We all can’t thank you enough for all the support and guidance you have provided us over the last 6 weeks. We look forward to continuing with WBTK.

Kind regards,

Barry, family and Big Zeus 💪

My experience with Working Bull Terriers Kennel has been truly outstanding. From the very first conversation, I felt confident that I had found the right people to help me and Loki.

The journey we’ve been on together has been incredible. They have helped us tackle several challenges, including Loki’s fixations, unreliable recall, and difficulties with self-regulation. While we’re still working on some of these issues, the progress we’ve made has been remarkable, and I couldn’t be happier with the support we’ve received along the way.

Their knowledge, professionalism, patience, and genuine love for dogs have made all the difference. Thanks to their guidance, Loki and I have built a much healthier relationship, one that continues to grow stronger every single day.

Meeting them was one of the best things that could have happened to me—and, more importantly, to Loki. The positive impact they’ve had on our lives is something I will always be grateful for.

Loki and I can’t thank them enough
