A great trick to teach your bulldog is to skateboard. Make sure your bulldog is small enough to fit comfortably on all fours on a skateboard, and keep some treats handy. It will take some time and patience to succeed, but it's worth it: you will get respect and admiration for what your bulldog can do.
Steps
Step 1. Find the right skateboard
The board should be at least a few inches wider than the dog. Use one with some old wheels, so that it moves about three feet with each push.
Step 2. Introduce your dog to skateboarding
Start by placing the dog in a carpeted room along with the skateboard. Place the skateboard on the ground, with the wheels facing up. Encourage the dog whenever he shows interest in skateboarding. Make noises with the board by spinning the wheels or touching the surface. Watch the dog's reaction. After a few minutes, take the board away. Let your dog rest for 20 minutes or so.
Step 3. Take back the skateboard
If your dog was comfortable with the board upside down, this time put it in the normal position. However, be sure to secure the board so it doesn't wander around when your dog tries to play with it. Again, encourage the dog whenever he shows interest in the table.
Step 4. Make the skateboard move a little
Observe the dog's reactions - if he is scared, for example - and take a step back. Try not to make the board move directly towards the dog, as this can be seen as a threat. Instead, try to awaken your dog's predatory instincts by rolling the board away from him. Continue for a few minutes, then take a break. Do it again. Continue to the next step when the dog is comfortable with the skateboard.
If your dog tries at any time to get on the skateboard, be sure to give him treats and compliment him a lot. Don't forget to hold the skateboard steady
Step 5. Start training your dog to skateboard
Secure the board so it can't move. Reward the dog most of the time he shows interest, but focus on the interest shown when he puts one or more paws on the board. However, it is okay if the dog still does not remain with his paws on the table. Continue like this until the dog puts a paw on the skateboard every time you put it in front of him.
Step 6. Start by rewarding your dog only half the time he shows interest in skateboarding
Reward him most of the time he puts a paw on the table, and every time he puts two or more paws on the table.
If your dog is so frustrated that he whimpers, barks, or stops trying, put the skateboard away and try again later, or go back a step
Step 7. Move the skateboard forward a couple of meters each time the dog puts his paws on it
Initially, your dog will remove his paws as soon as the board starts to move. Try and reward the dog with a treat just before he takes his paw off the skateboard. Place the cookie directly in his mouth so he doesn't have to move off the table to get it. Move on to the next step when the dog is comfortable holding two paws on the moving board for at least 1 meter.
Step 8. Place the dog so that he is on the skateboard with all four legs
When he's on the skateboard in this position, give him lots of compliments and reward him. Gradually eliminate rewards for mere interest in the table, and only reward him a few times when he puts two paws on it. Once the dog feels comfortable on the board, you can proceed.
Step 9. Move the skateboard back and forth slowly
Make sure you hold the skateboard well so it doesn't move too much. Reward your dog when he is on the table.
Step 10. Have the dog get on the skateboard independently
Touch the board and say the appropriate command to get the dog on the board. Move back slightly from the skateboard so that the dog has to approach to get the reward. Reward your dog every time he does the right thing.
