Strictly speaking, the Saint Bernard dog (detailed introduction) is still a relatively easy to train dog. Despite its size, it is actually very smart and has a cheerful and friendly personality. It is important for parents to master the training methods and techniques and start training St. Bernard when he is young. When the Saint Bernard reaches adulthood, it must be a sensible, stable, and well-behaved pet dog.

First of all, training St. Bernard dogs should start from childhood. Young St. Bernard dogs have good memory and are full of curiosity and desire to explore external things. This is the best opportunity to train your dog, and the success rate of training is also the highest. (Parents should not insult, beat, or abuse St. Bernard dogs at will, because this can easily hurt the dog's self-esteem, which is not good for guiding the St. Bernard dog to participate in training.)

Secondly, during training, parents’ attitude should be firm. St. Bernard dogs should be treated with clear rewards and punishments. When the dog successfully completes a training, parents should give praise and encouragement without hesitation. On the contrary, when the St. Bernard dog evades training and becomes naughty and disruptive, parents should punish it unceremoniously, such as scolding it loudly.

Third, training St. Bernard dogs should also start with simple behavioral habit development, and then slowly transition to skill training. Parents can start with daily eating habits, sleeping habits, and defecation habits, and slowly transition to training in sitting, standing, shaking hands, etc.

When training a St. Bernard dog, in order to better mobilize its enthusiasm for training. Parents should not only encourage and praise it. It is best to prepare some snacks that dogs love to eat, which can also be used as gift rewards or as bait to guide the St. Bernard dog to train.
