How to work out a Bull Terrier?

First, you will need to have both: A fair amount of time to spend with your dog each day and the will to actively engage with your Bull Terrier.

But, don’t make the mistake of counting walks as exercise. Many Bull Terriers do not even like walking very much and will only do as much as they need to finish their business. Walking with your dog is ok to do. Just do not consider it exercise, when you ask yourself how to work out a Bull Terrier.
The time for exercise will go on top of the walking, unless your walk involves really exciting activities, such as running, fetching, being in exciting places etc.

We are lucky enough to have access to a pool here in Florida and where also able to get Mila used to playing in the water. This comes in handy for working her out. Swimming an chasing balls in the water really challenges her and is a great exercise.
If you don’t have a pool, you can still play fetch with balls or frisbees outside, set up playdates with other dogs, visit a dog park, use a flirt pole or tug toys to entertain your dog.

You can also engage in agility training, trick training or weight pulling. There are a lot of options available to entertain your furry fellow.
