How to train a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog? Dog friends who like to train a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog by themselves should pay attention to the following principles, which will make your dog training life easier and more fun.

Every action of a well-trained Greater Swiss Mountain Dog should be based on obeying the owner's orders. Dogs are animals with a strong desire to obey. This may sound funny, but it is true. Only when it feels the strict control and authority of its owner will it be in a happy mood and have a sense of security and belonging. If you observe carefully, you will find that in times of danger, the people the shepherd dog obeys will never be the people with whom it usually plays and play, but the people who take harsh measures against it. It is important to know exactly when and how much freedom to give your Mountain Dog. Too much freedom can only do harm.

1. The owner of the home is always a human being. The mountain dog must understand what it can and cannot do on the first day it enters the house.

2. Commands to Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs should be brief and powerful. Avoid using polite words, such as "Come here!" or "Please sit down!". Simply say "Come here!" or "Sit down." That's it.

3. Always put praise first. When the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog performs well, don’t forget to give it a few words of praise. Even puppies can tell the difference between praise and rebuke in the tone of their owner's voice. Too much verbal abuse will only make the dog dull, apathetic and insensitive.

4. Take severe punishment measures when necessary, but never beat with hands or chains, otherwise it will trigger the dog's fear of these two things, thus making training difficult. A dozen rolled-up newspapers are enough to intimidate the dog, or you can use a stick to gently tap the dog's neck, or you can alert the mother dog to encourage her to educate her young.
