How to Train your BOUVIER DES ARDENNES

Training Your Bouvier des Ardennes

The Bouvier des Ardennes is a rugged, highly resilient herding and droving dog from Belgium. They are intensely athletic and famously determined.

Key Training Tips:

• Firm Consistency: They are strong-willed and will quickly dominate a weak owner. You must establish strict rules and enforce them with calm consistency.
• Channel the Energy: They possess boundless stamina. They absolutely must have a job to do, such as herding or advanced obedience, to remain sane.

They absolutely dominate in working sports, requiring an intensely active, engaged owner.
