How to Train your SHAR PEI

Training Your Shar Pei

The Chinese Shar-Pei is a deeply loyal, highly independent, and fiercely protective guard dog known for its wrinkles. They are famously stubborn and naturally suspicious.

Key Training Tips:

• Firm Leadership: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as the alpha. You must establish yourself as a firm, consistent leader using reward-based training.
• Massive Socialization: Their guarding instinct is profound. Without massive early socialization, they will view all strangers and dogs as threats.

They are serious, highly protective working dogs that require an experienced, confident handler.
