I've never heard of a "miniature" english bulldog. Living in Athens, Georiga. I bet that would be VERY popular around here. Good luck with the housetraining. Crate training worked the best for me. Also, I tought Dozer to tap the doorknob with his nose everytime we went outside. I'd say "Need to go to the bathroom?" several times so that he associated "bathroom" with doing his business. Eventually he realized that tapping the doorknob would alert me to take him out to do his business. I guess an english bulldog is a little too short so you could probably use some string/ribbon and a bell to tap. Good luck.
