A minimum grooming is required for a bull terrier. Brush the coat regularly with a rubber brush to remove dead and loose hairs. Keep the ear passages clean. The dog needs a soft place to lie down.
Training:
Train your dog from when it is a puppy because when fully grown it will be very difficult to train because it is a very strong dog. The Bull Terrier is very intelligent and learns quickly. Patience and consistence is required to train this dog.
