Bernese Mountain dogs are the second-largest breed of Sennenhund-type dogs, a group of four breeds developed to assist the herders and dairymen of the Swiss Alps in their daily lives. Not only did Sennenhund dogs like the Bernese Mountain Dog guard livestock, but they also protected the homestead and provided herding and drafting services. Modern-day Bernese are more likely to play the role of devoted companions than farm dogs-a role they excel at due to their affectionate and docile natures.
All four of the Sennenhund breeds are hardy, good-natured working dogs with striking tricolored coats, but only the Bernese has gained widespread popularity in the United States. While Bernese Mountain Dogs are generally agreeable canines, early socialization and training are a must to uncover their true potential. This in-depth guide to the affable Bernese Mountain Dog will teach you how to make the most of your canine's cooperative temperament, and how to avoid problem behaviors before they start. Discover the answers to crucial questions such as:
- Is a Bernese Mountain Dog the right dog for me?
- How do I select the right puppy or rescue dog for my household?
- What do I need to do to prepare my home for a Bernese puppy?
- Which training methods are most effective for Bernese Mountain Dogs?
The Complete Guide to the Bernese Mountain Dog, by dog trainer and journalist Andrea Berman, is a comprehensive guidebook that delves into the temperament, health, and history of these sturdy and adaptable animals. In these pages, pet parents like you will find the tools to handle every stage of their Bernese Mountain Dog's life, from the first few days at home to their Berner's senior years.
