Hi fellow dog lover!🐶 My dog Billie had so many behavior problems… she was jumping, peeing inappropriately, overly aggressive, pulling on the leash… she was just crazy…🤪 Then I found this one solution that stopped all the problems!🙌 The sad fact was…The training I first tried with my dog was a complete fai...lure.😔 I went through the average cookie-cutter training programs. These programs used outdated and ‘mean’ dominance techniques. It turns out those programs had no qualifications and were developed by complete phonies.😱 So this is what I did to stop my dog’s behavior problems... In a few simple words… I discovered my dog’s hidden intelligence!🧠
Let me explain… In my years as a dog owner…this is the one big lesson I have learned. More intelligent dogs are better behaved.👍 A more intelligent dog takes commands easier…and understands what you need from them. What I found out was… No matter how clever I thought my dog was. I could still unlock my dog’s hidden intelligence quickly and easily!😄 Don’t waste a second longer putting up with your dog's behavior problem! I’ll explain everything you need to know in the link!😁

Seven AM... There is something in our area that is exciting the local dogs. I am looking out my kitchen window and it always amazes me at the speed in which my large G.P. can cover ground. For a big dog, that is awesome! As she runs across my property, each stride covers over six feet.

I grew up with one of these gorgeous dogs. I live in New Zealand. He was 13 when we had to put him down. He was healthy as before he had his accident. He fell into a creek, it was 3m (9ft) deep. Broke his back. Me and my father had to lift him out. He was my best friend. I was the only one that could walk him on a leash 😆. One day I will own another one and my kids will enjoy the love that this majestic animal can give.

My neighbor has one in the pasture behind my house. I looked up his breed to find out about him. He’s huge. I don’t know his name, so I call him “BigBoy”. He’s so friendly and lets me pet him and give him belly rubs through the fence. He lives. there along with some donkeys and horses. Love him.

Good advice herein. My Pyr is a female with a lot of energy, love of her humans and clearly NOT TOLERATING any creatures or people uninvited in the yard ..... she is not as big as the Males - mostly - yet is A POWERFUL ANIMAL with a sweet nature in general. NO dog is nearly as great .... as a GREAT PYRENEES ! I know from the last five years with mine. GBjj

We just received our rescue dog’s DNA and she is half Great Pyrenees (1/4 lab and 1/4 golden) and I can see the traits in her. She is an amazing dog. Her previous owner surrendered her at 5 years old - we think due to separation anxiety. But she has been a wonderful addition to our family. She loves belly rubs and she is very obedient. She loves children!

Just rescued a Pyrenees Anatolian mix and she is sweet, gentle, gets along great with my Australian cattle dog. She is a bit slow to respond to commands. She is a gentle giant with the double rear dew claws, and surprisingly doesn't bark much. Reserved and calm.

@darcy5761 6 ай бұрын

That slowness to respond to commands is because of their intelligence. They were bred to guard herds and flocks by themselves for weeks at a time. You give a command and they think about it and decide if it makes sense. If they don't see a reason to follow the command,they won't obey. Like I always tell people if you want an obedient dog,get a golden.

That explains why ours looks.the other way when we call her in at night. Loves being outside, but has a lot of fear with people who come to the house. Growls, batks and shakes. Got her at 6mo. The woman we got her from said she took her so she wouldn't go to a bad person, but couldn't keep her due to health reasons. Any advice on how to help her overcome fear?😊

King Lous XiV crowned them the national dog of France as brave protectors of his chateaus. General Lafayette brought them to the States to protect George Washington's camps. They earn their keep as watch dogs on family farms, where they bark loudly at any intruder, and fearlessly protect flocks. Their thick double coat of fur protects them from attacks which they can easily win using their size and strong bite. One recently killed 11 coyotes that were attacking lambs. Mine calmly stands her ground against any dog including pit bulls and Dobermans which she refrains from harming. Very easy going, intelligent and loyal companion.

I used to be scared walking down the street with my pekes when I see a pitbull. Now I just laugh as my pyr boys eat pitties for breakfast. My pups are 140lbs at 1 and a half year old. I am sure they'll be at least 160lbs or more when they are grown. Pyrs make pitbulls look like Chihuahuas. I called them my house polar bears. Everywhere they go, people just love them and they love the attention. They literally stopped a bus to take their pictures.

They bark, they shed like mad and are awesome, socialize, take everywhere. You will have fur in your teeth, they're smart but hard headed. Unique breed imo. Absolutely love Samson but you hv to always watch. Large dogs, intact males, any dog that wants to challenge or dominate...not happening, better get on it. Samson is best around small dogs, loveable, everyone loves Samson, he loves attention BUT you hv to be aware around people and animals, when he flips the switch from Fluffer Butt to Gladiator...it is startling to say the least. They're bred to be loyal and get after it. Big time bark, freaking huge and you're protected. Your previous dog knowledge doesn't really apply, this dog doesn't jump when you say jump, it doesn't want to please you no matter what, it seems to ask the question "WHY" Bred to to think and fend for itself, make decisions to protect the flock. The Foreman over the herding dogs and Guardians of the flock. Crate and leash work a must. Leave a 7 mos old GP loose in your house for 10 hours, that'll cure ya! No way! Awesome dogs.

I have a 7 month old Pyrs. His name Zuria. He came to us as a rescue .his family could no longer feed him. Now we have a Pyrs that is afraid of everything. He is the sweetest boy I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have always had hunting/water dogs, with the exception of a border Collie at one time , who lived to be 16 years old. Now I have a pup that will be a part of my family. I live in the mountains , there is lots of room to play ,but he sticks close to me , he hates the leash, gets into garbage, but always wants to kiss everyone who comes to my house. He was not potty trained when he came to live with us, he is so intelligent it took five days to potty train. But garbage, and leash are still problem areas. The command COME does not seem to be in his vocabulary. This is not safe . He sits for me on command sits on me without command! Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I just want him to be happy , healthy, and safe . If anyone can help me get him to that place I will be eternally grateful.

@@christophercollier8562 I have 3 pyr boys, about 1 and a half year old. Not fixed. Maybe I can share some of my experiences with you. We live in the city. I have a 5 foot wooden fense with a steel wire fense behind it, in case a board got pushed out. As for calling it to come...two people seating across the room with small meaty treats. Call him to come back and forth until he is used to it. As for garbage, put a little bit of bleach in the trash can and he'll stay away. After a while, he'll stop digging in the trash. For leash training, start out with just a leash on him where he can walk around with it dragging on the floor. After a few days, he'll get used to it and you can switch to a retractable leash for practice walking. It'll give him some freedom. After a while when he is used to you holding the leash, switch to a fixed length real leash as retractable leashes are not safe for big strong dogs. I think not allowing you to put a leash on him is a trust issue. Someone may have tied him on a chain under a tree in the past for days on end or as a punishment. Worse is being tied up and not getting enough food. You can spend time with him and gain his trust over time. Seat with him and run your hand around his collar gentlly. Overtime, he'll feel comfortable with you handling and leashing him. I recommend rolled leather collar for pyrs. It won't mat up their long fur and it is very comfortable for them. I have two collars. One for house and tags. The other (rolled leather choke collar) I put on for walking. I put the walking one on top of their house one when we go walk and take it off when we get home. Hope this helps. Please let us know his progress. One of my boys is still pulling on the leash like crazy. I am working on that. Anyone got tips for strong leash pulling? I am using a leather choke collar for walking. I don't want to have to use clawed collar or gentleader. Both of which I feel is harsh on the dog. For those who are having a hard time getting your pyr to come in the house to sleep at night, make a deal with him. Everytime he comes in when you call, give him a small treat like a little milk bone or better yet, a carrot. I no longer have to chase them down to come in. When they bark outside, I just call them in without disturbing the neighbors. Also, they are self cleaning. I don't bath them. Shampoo will wash off their natural wax on the fur, making it no longer self cleaning. If they ever get way too muddy, I just hose them down. The mud usually falls off by itself when dry. I try to (metal finising) comb them out once a week. Good as new! Love to exchange ideas with you all. Please share!

@@christophercollier8562 Also, being afraid of everything in a puppy is a phase. They usually grow out of it as they mature. It is usually caused by not being socialized properly when they were very young between 8 to 16 weeks old. You can take him to the store like HomeDepot and let him see people and things. After a while, he'll see that it is no big deal when he hears loud noices and that there is no need to be afraid of people. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Some farmers interntionally not socialized them so that they'll be suspecious of everything in defending the farm. I don't agree with that method and it is unecessary to make the dog afraid of people. It is interesting that my pyrs boys grew up in the city next to a busy street. They hear noises day and night. So their barking is minimal as they are desensitized by loud noises. They will only bark if they hear the mail man outside or if they saw someone walking in front of the house. It is 2:30 am and all of them are asleep. If I take them out to a quiet country side, they'll probably bark all night if they hear a little mouse outside. When you have no noise in the country, they could hear everything. Everything sounds suspecious to them when it is very quiet outside.
