Corsaire Night Train, VA*,NAP, RL2, CGC, TT, "Nicky", flies through shin deep mud on his way to a first place finish. Bull Terriers do not mind slogging through mud or driving rain, but the do terribly in heat and humidity.

In addition to his agility and Rally titles, Nicky has one AKC Novice Obedience leg to his credit - that leg also earned him High In Trial at the 2002 Bull Terrier Club Of America Obedience Trial.

Corsaire Madcap Cherrybomb, AX, AXJ, CGC, NJC, NAC,"Cherry". Cherry was a great and gifted agility and obedience dog. Great as her achievements were, nothing compared to her perfection as a companion.

At the time of her passing, Cherry was about 1/2 way to her AKC agility Masters titles and she had just earned her first AKC Novice Obedience.

CH. Corsaire Carpediem of Madcap, VA, NAP, NJP, NAC, TT, CGC "Ruby". Ruby has one leg in both APDT and AKC Rally obedience and is currently training for her Rally Obedience and AKC Tracking Dog titles. I have to bring a leash with me when I train Ruby in agility - not to keep her from running away, but to drag her off the field when we are done!

Agility and Obedience

"Are Bull Terriers hard to train?" People ask me this question all the time. Bull Terriers have the reputation for being difficult to train, but they are actually quite easy to train and they are physically and mentally well adapted for performance sports. I have put performance titles on three Bull Terriers and am training my fourth one right now. I teach agility and have had a wide variety of breeds in my classes. I can say with confidence that Bull Terriers are no harder to train than any other breed of dog, but they ARE almost completely lacking in biddability. "Biddable" means a dog is willing to do something just because his handler says so. Because of this trait, the only method that I have had success with is so-called "positive" training.
