How to Train your BERGAMASCO SHEPHERD DOG

Training Your Bergamasco Shepherd Dog

The Bergamasco is a highly intelligent, incredibly resilient flock guardian known for its unique, corded coat. They are deeply loyal and fiercely independent.

Key Training Tips:

• Independent Thinkers: They view themselves as your equal, not your servant. They require firm, consistent leadership and do not respond to repetitive obedience drills.
• Grooming Training: Their corded coat requires very specific maintenance. Train them from puppyhood to view grooming as a calm, relaxing experience.

They are deeply devoted working dogs that require a job and vast open spaces to patrol.
