      Watch your bulldogs to discover which dog is instigating the fights. If one dog attacks, take it by the collar, and pin it down on its side in a submissive position. Hold the bulldog down until it has submitted. Listen for a sigh, which signals that the dog is relaxed. Be patient and determined because of the bulldog's stubborn nature. Muzzle each dog to prevent your or your bulldogs from getting bitten during this exercise.
