The Akita (Japan), the Komondor (Hungary), the Portuguese water dog, the Newfoundland, the Saint Bernard (Switzerland), the Alaskan Malamute, the Bernese Mountain dog (Switzerland) and many more make this group a veritable United Nations of dogs. Even the famous racer, the greyhound, has proved to be a well-liked family pet. Golden Retrievers are among the most popular breeds in America. The instinct to herd in some of them can be strong in these breeds even if most of these are now plain companion dogs that have never even seen a sheep.

The instinct to herd in some of them can be strong in these breeds even if most of these are now plain companion dogs that have never even seen a sheep. The millions of mixed-breed dogs around the world are a testament to that.

That’s part of the fun. A pampered, yet surprisingly active companion today, it once was a skilled truffle hunter. Unfortunately, the sheer popularity of some of the sporting breeds, most notably cocker spaniels but also Labrador and golden retrievers, has led to a rise in health and behavioral problems. It now serves only as a loving, albeit somewhat desk bound companion.

From reading a selection of recommended dog training books, in my experience, the best ones focus on using positive reinforcement, which seem to get the most positive response from the dogs or puppies being trained, as opposed to using more negative methods such as choke or check collar training or electric collar training. It is important to train your dog or puppy by gaining his or her respect and not through fear.

The books all teach methods of establishing yourself as your dog’s pack leader which is essential if you want to gain your dog’s trust and respect. There are several things you can do to accomplish this such as controlling your dog’s food, making sure he or she gets plenty of exercise and teaching him, or her, the basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come and heel.
