Instructions
Riding a Skateboard
Teach your bulldog to be comfortable around the skateboard by locking the board in place and leading the dog onto the skateboard with treats. Don't place your dog on the skateboard. Use a treat lure and reward it for climbing on itself.
Direct the dog to mount on command, such as "up" or "step." Give rewards or treats only if your dog will follow the command without seeing the treat.
Attach a leash to the skateboard and drag your bulldog around for short periods of time on the skateboard. Praise and toss treats to the dog while it remains on the board. Don't practice too long. End the game while it's still effective.
Grab your bulldog's favorite toy or treat and start moving it away to lead the dog. If your bulldog gets off the skateboard to follow, end the game. As the dog gets accustomed to following while staying on the board, start running farther or faster. Keep the game short at first. Build up the amount of time it follows you.
