A Bando Bull needs to know what is expected of him; rules to follow and limits to what they are and are not allowed to do. The objective in training and successfully keeping this dog is to achieve pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack.

That is the only way your relationship can be a success. This breed tends to snore and are moderate droolers.
