How to Train your BELGIAN SHEPHERD DOG

Training Your Belgian Tervuren

The Tervuren is a highly elegant, incredibly intelligent, and sensitive herding dog. They share the Malinois’s intelligence but are generally slightly less intense.

Key Training Tips:

• Positive, Gentle Training: They are highly sensitive to their owner’s emotions. Harsh corrections will shatter their trust; use enthusiastic praise and treats.
• Continuous Mental Challenges: They bore quickly. Keep training sessions fast-paced, varied, and highly engaging to hold their brilliant attention.
• Socialization: They can be aloof and cautious around strangers. Expose them to varied environments early to build a confident adult dog.

They excel in agility and obedience trials, making them magnificent companions for highly active, dedicated owners.
