French Bulldog Residential Dog Training
Originating from mid-19th-century France, French Bulldogs, commonly calledFrenchies, are a delightful blend of toy English bulldogs and Parisian ratters. Their distinctive large ears, small stature, and playful temperament have surged in popularity in the UK, even outpacing the English Bulldog. Training these unique pets with a professional is extremely important because they demand special attention during training due to their physical attributes.
Residential French BulldogTraining Based on Positive Reinforcement

At Royvon, we specialise in residential training for French Bulldogs, a charming breed known for its attentiveness and love for human interaction. While French Bulldogs generally train easily, their stubborn streak can sometimes create a challenge. Our expert trainers use effective positive reinforcement strategies to overcome this, understanding that French Bulldogs thrive in a nurturing environment.
French Bulldogs are eager to please, making training an enjoyable experience for both owner and pup. However, as sensitive pets, they can become disheartened when scolded. Consequently, our training approach emphasises abundant physical and verbal praises, with treats acting as powerful motivators.
Building a trustful, positive relationship is fundamental, as French Bulldogs respond exceptionally well to praise over scolding. By associating good behaviour with positive outcomes, French Bulldogs can fully utilise their training potential, evolving into balanced, well-behaved companions.
Socialisation is integral to our training, immersing your Frenchie in everyday scenarios to foster positive associations with familiar sights, sounds, and smells. We also guide puppies to develop appropriate social behaviour with other dogs, regardless of size.
Our two-phase residential programme tailors to your Frenchie’s needs. The first phase consists of three weeks of personalised training for new behavioural patterns, while the second phase includes three owner training sessions for up to three months to reinforce positive behaviour (conditions apply).Trust Royvon for your Frenchie’s training journey.
Time-Tested French Bulldog Training Methods
At Royvon, we have over 60 years of experience training dogs of all sizes. Over this time, we have developed solid behavioural, obedience and socialisation training concepts to maximise the learning potential of French Bulldogs. So, although they tend to be stubborn, we know how to connect with these clever, charming pooches.
Frenchies are cute, people-orientated dogs that thrive on positive reinforcement. Our time-tested French Bulldog training methods are known to help foster strong bonds between dog and owner. When on the programme, dogs quickly learn that jumping on people, pulling on a leash, or incessant barking are unrewarding behaviours; therefore, they quickly forget them.

We pride ourselves in taking a unique force-free dog training approach that boosts a puppy’s morale, confidence, and self-esteem. Unlike most of our competitors, we base our training on psychology rather than force, which is supported by many scientific studies.
The initial stage of French Bulldog training involves ensuring their eagerness to acquire new skills. Each time these cutiesdisplay trained mannerisms, wegive plenty of praise and treats and gradually incorporatethe use of a clicker to reinforce repeating the positive behaviour.
During the training, dogs learn consistent commands in diverse settings using treats as a reward. Gradually, treats are replaced by clicker training to minimise the risk of obesity in French Bulldogs – something they are prone to.
Maintaining a consistent and firm, yet force-free approach is vital when training a French Bulldog. Our trainers consistently enforce rules and reward dogs for good behaviour.
The good news is that French Bulldogs are known for their intelligence and ability to learn quickly. Therefore, training a French Bulldog to behave appropriately within a household setting is simple with consistent practice and persistence.
Results-Driven French Bulldog Training


Our residential dog training programmes ensure we can help train French Bulldogs who have behavioural issues. Whether these are over-excitement, aggressiveness, being overly possessive, or recall problems. Trainers assess behavioural patterns to identify triggers and then use positive reinforcement to develop good behaviour.Our residential Frenchie training programme is a two-phase course to help you and your dog overcome misbehaviors and is available at our MerthyrTydfil or Esher training centres. You can also leave your Frenchie at our daycare – Playhouse in Bridgend.
Compact and muscular with those unmistakable bat-like ears, cheeky French Bulldogs are endearing companions, but their distinct character can sometimes lead to challenging behaviours. Therefore, training in a puppy phase is paramount for this tiny breed, as Frenchies tend to form habits quickly, both good and not-so-good. Although, this doesn’t mean that we can’t help adjust the behaviour of adult French Bulldog, if they have exhibit problems.
Over-excitement, separation anxiety, and leash-pulling are just a few challenges Frenchie owners might face. Through our dedicated residential training programs, we pinpoint the root causes, be it attention-seeking yelps or the anxiety-driven need to chew. Our counterconditioning techniques can also help tackle separation blues, turning your absence into eagerly awaited treat time.
But it’s not just about curbing unwanted behaviours; it’s about tapping into Frenchie’s innate desire to please, connect, and trust. Our breed-specific techniques boost their confidence, enhance their recall abilities, and foster a profound bond of trust with humans and fellow canines. Walkies turn into delightful strolls with your furry friend looking to you for guidance and reassurance.
At the heart of our training ethos is the understanding that every Frenchie is unique. But with patience, expertise, and love, every French Bulldog can shine in its individual brilliance, with a gaze ever-fixed on you, their beloved human companion.
Excellent Dog Accommodation
During our residential French Bulldog training, your dog stays in our Luxurious ‘Dog Hotel’ facilities. These provide the perfect environment for your pet to relax and socialise with other dogs during downtime. In addition, you can be sure your furry friend gets the care, attention, and training needed to enjoy their stay.
To give you peace of mind that your French Bulldog is cared for, our staff provides on-site care 24 hours a day. And they are fully trained in canine first aid. Therefore, they can quickly address any unforeseen health issues and contact a local vet if necessary.

Mimi was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to really understand both us and our new family member (Lilo), who joined us when she was 16 months old. She helped educate us on how to best support and care for our dog, and all her advice and training techniques were practical and relevant to our situation.
Her approach was always positive, encouraging, and thoughtful, which made the learning experience enjoyable for all of us. As a result of her help and guidance, Lilo is now confident, well adjusted and happy doggy.
Highly recommend Royvon and Mimi to anyone looking for professional, compassionate dog training.
The team is incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. When I recently broke my foot, they arranged a last-minute stay for him so he could be properly looked after while my husband was away. They even let us pick Vincent up after hours when our flight home was severely delayed — something we were so grateful for.
We love the daily updates and photos they send, and they’re always quick to respond to WhatsApp messages or suggest services that might benefit Vincent during his stay. We always feel he’s in the safest, most caring hands.
Thank you so much, Royvon — we’re so glad we found you!
We have taken our puppy to Royvon since he was 12 weeks old and now 6 months. Starting with the master class at home then puppy school and 1:1’s! We have felt completely supported by everyone at Royvon, nothing ever too much trouble.
We couldn’t have asked for better care, all staff are kind, friendly and so welcoming. Our Puppy is excited as soon as he enters the Royvon premises, he knows exactly where to go and always greeted with open arms and cuddles. So great to have a safe environment to leave our puppy without having to worry about him! Thank you Royvon for all your help and ongoing support! Rocky is one happy and beautifully behaved boy!
We have Romeo and Kelsey’s on going support and together I’m hoping we’ll help our boy become the calm gentle giant we know he can be. Ps his recall is also now excellent
Thanks

Our Border Collie, Coby, often would chase cars, wildlife, etc. With her guidance, Coby is a lot better.
Thank you Charlie for all your support and encouragement.
From point of enquiry about boarding for our two dogs Mabel and Albie, the communication from the team has been amazing and so helpful. It was an easy booking process and I loved that we could make the stay as bespoke as we wanted to suit our dogs best, enabling them to follow a similar routine to when they are at home.
This is the first time we have left our dogs but would not hesitate to use Royvon again. Every member of staff we met showed their passion for working with dogs and were true experts. We collected our dogs yesterday after a 10 day stay and it was evident they had been so well cared for. We loved the updates whilst we were away, ranging from photos to written reports which were so reassuring. It was also clear that they really got to know Mabel and Albie as their observations and comments were spot on, also showing that both dogs were relaxed and settled in the boarding environment and with the staff that cared for them. A special thank you to Millie and Sofia who were both amazing and spent a lot of time with them. Mabel and Albie send kisses!
We would not hesitate to recommend and are already looking forward to booking them in again.
The Hooper family.

It has been very difficult for us to leave Riley in anybody else’s care because he requires experience and a controlled environment and we were blown away by how intuitively and confidently the team at Royvon took care of him and put our minds at ease. Millie who checked Riley out was fantastic too and had spent extra time with him that morning, and everybody we met on site was so responsive, kind and professional. It is life changing to know there is a place we can trust with a tricky but beloved dog, and we are looking forward to Riley building strong relationships with the team there. Thank you Tilly, Millie and all at Royvon!
Sisu absolutely loves it at Royvon and gets excited every time we pull into the car park!
From the moment we drop her off, we know she’s in great hands. The staff are professional, caring and clearly passionate about what they do.
Sisu always comes home happy, healthy and tired after enjoying days packed with play, training and love from the team :).
It gives us total peace of mind knowing she’s getting great care and we never hesitate to book her into Royvon when we’re going away.
We highly recommend Royvon!
I can now go on holiday knowing that my dog will be having a great time too.
Alfie and familyxx
Both Leo and Pippin had a great time at Royvon, staff all very pleasant and clearly love working with the dogs. The videos of the dogs out and about shows how happy they are whilst on their holidays. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Royvon again.
