Are Great Swiss Mountain Dogs difficult to house train?
As eager and excited as families can be, it seems that once we have a new pet in the house everyone starts saying “come, boy!“, “sit“, “shake hands“, “jump” and all other common commands hoping that the young pup will execute it with ease. Before any of these commands and most importantly housebreaking, can be understood and followed, proper training must be given to the dog as he grows up.
These dogs may take awhile to house train. Approximately 7 to 9 months if diligently done and with gentle methods along with positive reinforcement. It is suggested that these dogs be crate trained until 5 months as it will make a smoother transition to other levels of training. It must be noted that this breed is not slow when it comes to brains, it’s just that they take a much longer time for their mental capacity to mature.
