I’m impressed that she is looking at you so consistently.I wish I could see how you actually trained her instead of demonstrating the finished product. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I’ve got a 8 1/2 month old Great Pyrenees female that looked just the one in this video!! Great tips and training, you got a new subscriber today sir. You’re awesome👍🏻
I have a 5 month old Pyrenees I love your channel need all the help I can get , she knows sit, paw , down and touch so far very fast learner and mount up so far only used getting in car but going to work it in other times
This is helpful we are considering a Pyrenees because we have a rabbit and cat and want a protective dog that is good with small animals. It’s helpful to know how independent they can be but that training is possible.
You be you… she will be her. My GP is perfect off leash, “ with me” is the command to stay in arms reach, on a leash he will drop back like he was beaten, “the shame”. He is quiet and watches over the property, he is very aware.
Mines 4 months pyrenees x collie. I got HELLA strong bones that she really liked. she'd chew on it for hours and get tired. Then its easier to train to not bite me. Also I take it away once she's done chewing so she knows its still a "treat" and not something thats always there.
I have a concern/ question I jus got my boy Great Pryenes, he's about 2 to 3 months an I know puppy's have a slight biting problem but he seems quite intent on biting people more then toys an he's not trying hurt he wants to play but it just seems like he wants to put a moving thing for some reason. Would training help ?
That is definitely a characteristic of the breed, especially for dogs between 2 and 6 months. The best piece of advice that I have is to be patient and consistent in your response. There are two main reasons that most puppies will bite; either that they are teething or to interact/communicate with you. Most commonly, if the dog isn't chewing on toys, it is the latter reason. It is important to understand that dogs use their mouths to interact with the world just like you would use your hands, so nipping is rarely of malicious intent with a puppy. The best way to get a puppy to stop biting is to teach it other ways to interact with you and provide positive re-enforcement for more positive interactions. As you mentioned, toys are a very common method to stop puppies from biting, but many people get this method wrong. The key to this method is not to just give the dog a toy and walk away, but to actively play with the dog and direct the biting into the toy. Like you mentioned puppies want to play with something that is moving, so you should be actively playing with the dog but using the toy as a medium for them to bite instead of you. If the dog tries to bite at you, give the dog a small correction like a stern no and redirect it's attention back to playing with you through the toy. Doing this will help them learn what is acceptable and not acceptable to bite, give them a positive way to interact with you, and help them bond with you more. Another good way to allow your dog to interact with you without biting is to teach it some commands like sit or lie down. Doing daily sessions with some treats as positive re-enforcement is a good way to teach the dog to pay attention to what you are communicating. Consistently having the dog sit whenever you start interacting with it will teach it to do that instead of biting when greeting you. One of the main reasons that puppies nip is to try to get your attention, so if you teach them to greet you by sitting and looking at you instead of biting you can hopefully replace the behavior. Finally, the part where a lot of people fail with these tactics, it is important that you be consistent with the dog in your response to their behavior. If you try to get the dog to stop biting by using a toy to play with it, you need to be willing to play with the dog if it brings you the toy. If you ignore the dog if it brings a toy over to you, you can undo a lot of that work because the dog won't get the interaction that it wanted, so it may go back to biting to get a response. Additionally, if you teach the dog to greet you by sitting in front of you or by rolling over, stop and pet it for a minute to re-enforce that behavior. If you let the dog know that it get's the response it wants using the interaction methods you are teaching it, it will learn that it doesn't have any reason to bite you to get those responses.
Most all working dogs have deviated from their original purpose in life. The best thing that can be done is to have proper training and socialization on the dog as well as daily exercise.
Well guess what I have one that has no “livestock” and his job is to bark at anything on my property. This breed is a couch potato/ loves to lay around and he goes to doggie daycare at least twice a week. Extremely cuddly, gentle, and sweet.

I don’t think it is right to have any livestock guardian dogs to be indoor house pets.

I have 3, best dogs EVER, just need to exercise them, as with any other dog. They are calm and easy to own.
german shepards are one of the most popular household pets, most dogs do not do what they were breed to do. And that’s okay.
