To what training approach do sensitive Berger Blanc Suisses respond poorly?
Answer
Harsh correction
While the intelligence and eagerness to please in the BBS make them highly trainable, often cited as easier than GSDs, their temperament possesses a distinct sensitivity. This sensitivity means they react poorly and shut down when subjected to harsh correction methods. The recommended pathway to training success involves leveraging their eagerness to learn through consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques rather than dominance or punitive measures.
