SittingBullies "Top Dog" Gabe Video

[HeavyWeaponsCore]

This dog took 9 years to train, hopefully it was worth the weight...

[SuperLollyg]

Saw y'all on GMA this morning! Gabe is awesome. You've done a great job training him and he is just a superb Bullie!!!

[deeroberge]

WOW!!!! THIS JUST MADE MY DAY........LOVE IT!!

[youraverageuser]

Cheryl what a great video! you work wonders with bull dogs, we all know they can be a little bull headed ;), check out my female bull dog with the brown spot in her back :) Scott

[MedicBarbie]

LOVE the airstream, and Gabe looks like his sister Chub E. Dawg :) more and more every day!

[MedicBarbie]

Cheryl, you know I love him... thank you for your assistance and advice. Much love, Melanie

[Sittingbullies]

@MedicBarbie Thanks Melanie :) The dogs love the Airstream, too--can't take it out without them! It's a 27' International built in 1975.

[Opalwitley]

I'm impressed and inspired!!!

[poodleitdotcom]

Brilliant work, both of you :)

Thank you for many smiles.

[shellymb]

Lagging just a little in the heeling but great attention work... nice dog

[Sittingbullies]

Thanks Shelly,

This video was done when Gabe was just over one year old--and he exhibited that same attention at 5 wks! He ended up being the #6 Non-Sporting Dog for Novice Obedience in 2008. We haven't shown much in OB since, but hope to get back into the Open ring soon!

[Elvisdogg]

What a load of bull!

[killer101210]

[popemahou]

[ayengcindy]

wowowow, A very good dog.

[carolynrogers62]

Ms. Knapp. I seen Gabe on the Internet and voted for him before the awards,and I have been in shock and awe ever since. I have shown his amazing video to everyone.I always wanted a English Bulldog and now want one badly. You have done what no one else has ever done. I flipped when I seen him on the hobby horse. You have trained a star there. I love Gabe. You have done terrific, Cesar Milan says, the bulldogs are the hardest to train, You deserve an Oscar!! C.Rogers

[dancer4life1089711]

OMG! what an awesome bully!!! my bully is afraid of a skateboard and he couldnt do anything so awesome like that!!!

[Sittingbullies]

Thanks! If you like his tricks then please VOTE for him once a day,everyday, through the end of the month in the Worldwide Fido Semi-Finals--one dog in each of the six categories will be flown to LA for the live TV finals & the chance to win $20,000! :) Support your local Bully!!!

[meliquoi]

WOW what a buddy!

[pcon80]

Amazing!

[hsienhsinlee]

This is the smartest bulldog in the world! How did you do that? My bully cannot even close a door, let alone rocking on a horse!

[MicahdKnapp]

Maybe your bulldog has you outsmarted! This breed is VERY smart (contrary to popular opinion!) I've had several and they've done all kinds of things and compete with the best of them in the obedience ring, too!

[wmazoway]

Gabe is amazing! We have a Bully - Gimli, and he's 2 1/2. He rolls over, fetchs like a freak, and loves to play hide 'n go seek with the kids. He also loves cats - just loves 'em, like the old Bugs Bunny cartoon with Marc Anthony :)

Great work with Gabe, you can see he's happy!

[graceyj3]

Hi Cheryl. I'm a friend of Jan's and just LOVE this video. Gabe sure is one smart pup!

Cheryl, Just stopped in to say hi and to see you and your cute little marsh mellow Gabe. What sweet and wonderful boy he is! Hugs, Linda and Dozer

[fkdscion]

wow hes amazing... do you have any tips for me i recently adopted a 4 month old american bully and have only had him for a week but i can see im gonna have my hands full with training...he has alot of bad habits that the shelter let him get away with.

[Sittingbullies]

Treat him like a "toddler"--lots of love and consistency. I use feeding time as a primary training time & my dogs learn to sit/stay for their food-later I incorporate new things they're learning into this time. Lots of praise & treats (small but frequent at first, then phase them out as he learns) Keep it fun and short :)

[Cntrymusicfan1224]

This is so cute. I laughed the whole time. Gabe is quite a pup. I give him two paws up!

[bigbigdog11]

wow!!

u sure u r bulldog???

[Sittingbullies]

You bet! Bulldogs are VERY smart and I have had several and they have all been fast learners & have given the other breeds a run for their money in the obedience/rally rings! We are usually among the top dogs in the class. I think most bulldogs outsmart their owners :) Of course they are too smart to work for "free"--you just have to make it worth their while. Check out my other videos to see Rosie, Chubbs & Bailey (Bailey is Chubbs' son, owned/shown by his new mom.

[cleaningidaho]

WOW! I have 2 Bullie pups (both are 6 months) Bull dogs are very very smart. They new how to sit by the the time the where 10 weeks just by us noding our head, Still having a few problems with jumping and them going pottie in one place in the yard. How did you train him to go in one spot like that??? That was great

[Sittingbullies]

We made our "potty box" specifically to keep our lawn nice. I use enzymes to keep it fresh and completely change the shavings each week (spot cleaning in between)...it has to be kept fresh or they won't use it. Just take them out to the area on leash at first and tell them to "go potty" or whatever you use. Give a treat and lots of praise when they are successful. I will run out quickly to the box and call them while they are still learning...they pick it up pretty fast! especially with treats!

[topdogpam]

Great job! You have a great working relationship with Gabe! Cheers from Dallas Tx.

[vincenzospugna]

GRANDE....come fare ad addestrare cosi un cane? perfetto

[gemgirl2008]

An amazing dog with an amazing trainer! Wow!

[furiousgeorge413]

awesome dog...

[attijoy]

English Bulldogs- anything else are just dogs :-))))

Wonderful !!!! 5 stars are a must!!!

[pkalbaugh]

Does Gabe have any OTCh points? He's the one with the UDX, right?

PK

[Sittingbullies]

My girl, Gracie, was the first bulldog to earn a UDX. She had several OTCH points, High Combined and HIT awards in her career. Her full name was Beefeater's Amazin' Grace of SBK, CGC,UDX. You may have seen her photo with her surrounded by all her ribbons on the Front & Finish website :)

[pkalbaugh]

If anyone could do it I have faith it would e you. Go for it! I would love to see it happen.

I saw you competing in open with one of your dogs (not sure which one) several years ago at the Nisqually KC show/trial in August in Lacy (?) WA. Truly amazing!

PK

[bikette07]

Great Job! That was awsome! U've a very smart dog, and of course u did ur best! congrats from Mexico :)

[lmwj2206]

Hi Cheryl, That gabe is amazing, very proud of him. I`ve seen him on BDW, what a wonderful Job of training you have done. Take Care..

[pkalbaugh]

Great Video!

All the tricks are very entertaining but I wanted to comment on the heeling which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I am amazed he's only 14 months old. Great trainer!

PK

[Sittingbullies]

Thanks! Gabe earned his Rally Novice title at 7.5 mos old with placings each time and his CD title by 11 mos--looking forward to lots more in the years to come--and MAYBE the 1st bulldog OTCH :) (gotta have goals, right?)

[riveras831]

you should put a cowboy hat on him!!!! that was freaking incredibull. you must have a lot of patience!!!!

[Sittingbullies]

He does have a cowboy hat, but we didn't use it for this video shoot since we filmed so many things :) He's pretty cute in his hat, too!

[lapr247]

Hi Cheryl, OMG I love this guy! Gabe is so beautiful and smart. You make a perfect team. I can see all the love you have for your bullies. LMBO ON THE ROCKING HORSE PART!!!Hugs from your BDW friends, Linda and Dozer

[Sittingbullies]

Hey Linda & Mr. D!

As you know these bullies aren't hard to love! :) We DO have fun together, that's for sure!

[johnp352]

nice Airstream..does that belong to the dog?

[Sittingbullies]

Well, the dogs THINK it's theirs! When we take it out we "can't leave home without 'em"! It's a 27' 1975 International--and quite cozy! One of our litters was born on the tail end of camping in it and the three boys were dubbed, "The Airstream Aces" :)

[meliGhibs]

Oh man!!! & I thought we had smart frenchies... look at that guy go!!!

You did an amazing job teaching him all

these things. I couldn't help but giggle & grin all throughout the video!!!

Thanks for the smile!!!

Meli, Rudi & Remi!!!

[leightweight420]

[ChStrykeForce]

I can't tell you enough how much I love Gabe! You guys make a wonderful team!

Looking forward to "Top Dog"...Stryker & I wish you the best!

[analkie]

What a great dog ! I love all Bully type dogs

You two have really done a lot of work to make him such a well trained guy. Thanks for posting

[brokenbricks]

[robinneiswender]

Awesome video.. Very talented Gabe..!!

[bettyclark]

Awesome bulldog and awesome owner/trainer

[Lorrdess]

Thanks for showing off Gabe's talents! Kudos to you for all your hard work and dedication, it really shows!

[colorchalk]

so cute and well behave dog!!! beautiful 2!

i heard this myth about most white bulldogs are deaf. is it true?

[Sittingbullies]

Not true, but it can happen sometimes. We had three white pups in Gabe's litter and none were deaf. Their sire is white as well, with several white dogs in the pedigree and none were deaf.

[lillabelle721]

Great!!!!!!! I got 2 bullies & all they want to do is sleep...

[LilyTails]

what a beautiful dog...

[Jakeknapp]

That's my mom! Proud of you,

XOXO - Jake

[knvb26]

He's the most amazing bulldog ever! How on earth did you teach him these things?
