French Bulldogs are the ideal lapdogs and companions who are gaining insane popularity around the world due to their pushed-in face and cuddly nature. This breed is exceptionally comical and entertaining in nature.

Now that you have a Frenchie or may be thinking of having one, you should know that you are signing up for an unlimited package of snuggles and cuddles. You know everything about them, what they like and love but do you have any idea if they might be expecting something from you?

Besides being cute and leaving their parents in awe, these little pups have some expectations which you need to fulfill. No one can’t predict what a dog thinks, but its body language is expressive enough. By studying a few of them, we’ve jotted down some crucial things that your pup needs and wants from you.

Let’s start!

• Spend as much time as possible

Frenchies have cute, adorable, and expressive faces; they can smile and entertain you all day long. Even if you want to sit back and relax after a really hectic day at work, they will cuddle with you and shower love by kissing you all over. They will lick your face whenever you enter the room, which indicates that your fur baby is happy to see you.

But they are clingy in nature; they’ll expect you to be with them all the time. I know you need to go out to work, but they don’t understand that. These innocent lap dogs will wait for you when you are gone. Try to organize some playdates with other dog parents to distract them from following you everywhere.

The breed is highly sensitive and is prone to separation anxiety if left alone for too long. So, make sure when you are away, someone is constantly checking up on your dog. This way, they’ll know that they are being cared for. But their eyes will always be like, “Hi, dad! Can you please not leave my side ever?”

So, make sure you take some time out for them every day. Go to walks together, play fetch and let it chase you for no reason. It will help you strengthen your relationship and they all love to be around their parents.

• Try personalized training sessions.

Frenchies are smart dogs. They understand your commands and remember what you teach them. But they are also cunning. Since they are couch potatoes, they’ll make adorable faces to get rid of the exercise and training sessions. Hence, as a parent, you need to be firm and patient with them.

Let’s get one thing clear first; not all dogs are the same. They react to different commands in different ways. You need to find out what works best for your puppy and incorporate them into your training sessions. For example, suppose your pooch likes to run a lot. Then you can use this to help it run some errands such as bringing the newspaper/ball.

Try regular training sessions because it will help you and your furry friend in the long run. If you have no idea about how to train your fur baby, don’t worry! We’ve got that covered too. For this, you can always refer to a French Bulldog Training Guide for better understanding and some helpful tips. And just because your doggie isn’t taking those exercises and training sessions seriously, please don’t punish them for it. They will learn; eventually, you just need to find a better way to keep them entertained and interested.

• Keep a healthy environment around.

Just like kids, Frenchies are very much impressionable. They understand what’s going on near them and try to cope with it. For example, suppose you had a really bad day at work, that doesn’t mean you come home and start scolding your pooch for no reason. It will trigger aggressive emotions or, worse, depression.

In fact, if you had a bad day, use your fur baby to elevate your mood and try to forget about your problems, even if it’s just for a second. And you know what? This adorable breed senses that there is something wrong with their parents and uses their humorous and comical nature to make you laugh.

So, if next time you feel sad and lonely and your furry friend is trying to cuddle with you, it means that it wants you to cheer up. That’s so freaking cute!

So, the least you can do is fulfill their expectations by spending some quality time with your doggo. Obviously, you wouldn’t ever get over that broad ear to ear smile or grin. It’ll make you laugh like nothing else.

So, cuddle with them as much as you can. And trust me, just by being available for your fur baby, you can reciprocate their unconditional love for you.
