As a role model, you have to make the dog understand that you are his master, and friend of course, so that he will follow your orders and instructions.
You can train your English bulldog on your own. In training your dog, the number one rule is to be patient as your pet counterpart isn't. Don't rush the training and make your dog learn the ropes step by step. Make your lessons short, approximately 10 minutes each session. To make your dog participate more, institute the reward system. Give treats for good work and never punish when your dog was not able to follow. The trick here is repetition. Be consistent with your training. If your training after his meal at certain time of the day then stick to that schedule so as not confuse him.
Lastly, if all of your effort did not succeed, don't blame yourself nor your dog. There are professionals who can help you with this. Enroll your pet in a dog obedience class. You can find a lot of this kind of school in your neighborhood.
