Tessie says, let’s talk about good manners in public! As the weather gets warmer and the world starts to open back up, it’s time to fine tune the good behavior.
* don’t allow reactive barking. Although your kuvasz is a guardian breed, they are known for their great sense of judgement. But like any teenagers, youngsters will try on different behaviors. Barking at strangers, dogs, kids, bikes etc should NOT be tolerated. Clearly communicate your dislike of this behavior with a verbal and leash correction. Kuvasz should be INDIFFERENT unless threatened.
* don’t allow strangers to invade your dogs space. Your pup should be respected and not be put in a position to feel uncomfortable. If someone asks to pet your dog, release your dog to say “hi” and if they choose not to...don’t force it!
*walk your dog in a controlled position (heel) at all times when on a leash. Keep them under command (sit, down, heel) while on a leash. This will make your dog feel more confident and know exactly what’s expected of them.
*find the right equipment (leash and collar), these are big, very powerful dogs, the wrong equipment will make your feel out of control. Leash and collar are a communicator, use them as such!
Have fun!! Go places, try new things, expect the best and that’s what you’ll get. (Send is pictures of your adventures too, we love it!) 🧭 🐕
