Training

It is smart to commence the training of your Briard at a young age, preferably while they are still puppies. Developing positive habits and behaviours at an early stage can help prevent the formation of undesirable behaviours in the future.

Employ constructive feedback techniques, such as providing rewards, commendations, and recreational activities, as it proves highly effective in eliciting desired behaviours from Briards. Incentives given for favourable actions serve as a motivation for individuals to carry out the same behaviour again in the times to come.

Maintaining consistency while training a Briard is crucial. To achieve consistency and success in training, it is important to use identical commands and incentives. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that everyone in the household employs identical training techniques and upholds the same regulations.

To effectively train Briards, it's best to keep the training sessions brief and captivating as they have a limited ability to focus for extended periods. Set your target to spend 10-15 minutes during every session, and strive to do it multiple times throughout the day.

Maintain Interest: To make training sessions engaging and enjoyable, introduce a range of activities, such as obedience drills, agility challenges, and teaching cool tricks.

Incorporating socialisation into a Briard's training regimen is crucial. Expose them at an early age to unfamiliar surroundings, creatures, and individuals to foster their social proficiency and self-assuredness.

Tackle Behavioral Issues Early: Don't procrastinate on addressing any problematic behaviours that may arise, such as excessive barking, destructive chewing, or incessant jumping. Utilise methods of positive reinforcement to promote desirable behaviours and redirect their focus when necessary
