How to Train your YUGOSLAVIAN SHEPHERD DOG - SHARPLANINA

Training Your Yugoslavian Shepherd Dog - Sharplanina

The Sharplanina is a massive, fiercely protective flock guardian from the Balkans. They are highly independent and naturally suspicious of strangers.

Key Training Tips:

• Expert Handling: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as the alpha. You must be an incredibly calm, confident, and experienced leader.
• Massive Socialization: Their guarding instinct is profound. Without massive early socialization, they will view all strangers as deadly threats.

They are deeply devoted working dogs that require a vast territory to protect, not an apartment.
