10 tips for training a Great Pyrenees 

My daughter brought home a GP puppy over my objections a little over a year ago. I have no idea why I was objecting. He’s my greatest friend now and I can’t imagine being without him. The best dogs ever!

I brought home a 14 week old GP from a farm 6 days ago. The first day I gave her a bath and clipped her nails, rinsed her ears, blow dried and brushed and she LOVED it, incredibly sweet the whole time. she is already going in her kennel without objection, she has never went to the bathroom in the house, once in the kennel but that was her second night in our house and she got water before bed without me seeing. She’s only barked a handful of times. She walks with a harness perfectly she just looks up at us with a smile both me and my 5 year old daughter. She already protects my daughter but in a very calm manner, she will get in front of her and stand as tall as she can and observe the “threat”. She listens to sit and come half the time. I know she will get into trouble as time progresses but so far she is the perfect dog.

We're on our third. 140 pound male. The great thing about Pyrs - they're not labs.

We just got a great pyrenees puppy a couple of weeks ago. We named him Bjorn (bear in norse). He is very stubborn. I thought it was me. I read they were stubborn, but boy, they weren't kidding. Thank you for this.

I bought a Great White Pyrenees was not sure I was making the right choice. OMG I absolutely love her!!! She has the perfect in the middle energy level. She is so sweet!

My Great Pyrenees moomin is the best boy he’s only stubborn on walks when he’s either tired or wants to go investigate something he really is curious about- best dog I’ve ever had

Thanks for the tips!

Great starting points Thanks

One of my most important commands working with my 3-year old Great Pyrenees female, Serena, is "It's O.K.!" That command lets Serena know that whoever is with me is our friend and should be allowed on the property. She therefore accepts my gardener and let's him on my property with or without me being present.

Good advice. Thanks.

Got one at 8 months old. He’s a barker but super loving and smart. Training is relatively easy depending on the command.

You did a great job of training Mellow. Very impressed with the Christmas gift unwrapping , when you took the bone away and there was no aggressive action from Mellow. Blessings to you ❤

Thanks for sharing. Mine is Pyrenees and Lab mix. Zeke looks just like Mellow but short hair.

Thank you for the video 😍 I just got a GP 2 weeks ago, she's 11 weeks old now. She is such a sweetheart and so gentle 😍 her name is Juliet 😘

Wonderful advice

I just adopted a GP! This helps so much, she’s only 9 weeks!

I had bought a great Pyrenees around 23 months ago.I just teached him some basics like sit,paw,high five,down. I wanted to teach him more .I bamed him "leo".jts my life

The very first tip u mention, repeating commands too frequently is something that goes for all dogs and i see ppl do it very often. Very valid tho

This adorable dog slept thru the whole video. Haha!

I have had Great Pyrenees since 2001. Currently, I have 3 Great Pyrenees males: a 14 year old named Thunder, an 8 year old named Beowulf and another 8 year old named Montana. I specialize in rehabilitating highly abused Great Pyrenees. These 3 were quite a challenge when I stated working with them. I continuously integrate training into our daily activities, and we have a lot of fun together. Over time they became a unified and loyal pack. 🙏

We are getting a Great Pyrenees pup in two days, his name is Tucker and I’m going to be his trainer and I learned some really good tricks from this and I will be sure to follow them

I have a Karakachan-Pyrenees 1 1/2 year old on my hands 😂❤ His name is Griffin and we are actually training each other. His stubborn side is STRONG 💪 af. Thank you so much for this.

My pup is calm and super soft lol but he listens most of the time

I just got a GP 10 month old puppy. Greatest idea ever. She's very loving🥰

My GP Kilo is so cute and so well behaved he’s so friendly and loving

WOW you have a lot of good information. You are ALMOST correct on everything you say. my 2nd great P died in my arms tonight. My 2nd one in 205 years. This time this one was only 9. IO am ashamed. You are mostly correct. You have much to learn still about our favoriate dog. :(

Thanks, just got one. 23 weeks old.

We just got two new Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shephard mixes. Their names are Macintosh(Mac) & Brandy. They're not really stubborn except when it comes to going inside or going outside, they can't pick! We're raising them to protect chickens and goats.

Just rescued an 8 week old GP (my little Magnolia, Maggie as a nickname) this week and this video really helps!! The hardest thing right now is getting her to eat on a schedule, but I’m trying to help her adapt. Additionally, I’m trying to gently introduce her to three cats, any tips?

This Video is really great. I see my little Belle in all of this! shes sometimes super unsure on what to to and she taught me to be confident enough for both of us! nowadays most things shes like: oh, is this a threat? Im not even looking at and then shes like: okay, mommy, lets go on. or, we were passing a meadow behind our property to go on a walk early in the morning and there were three cats runing around. she was like: mommy, i wanna play with them! but i just sad no and went our way. she jumped on one place a few time but she didnt even pull on her leash (~15 meters) and went with me . or anoother time, when she was in a wide area of the leash and we saw some deer: i was like. oh, im gonna have to run after her now, but i just tried and turned myself the other way. she did run, but only like ~ 5 meters an then returned to me. i just love her and the breed so very much. she is such an fantastic animal and i love her stubborness and her will to protect our family. she is truly turning out to be like her namesake. (whoever gets this and comments it will get a cookie^^ thanks forr this great video^^

Mines literally named floof haha 20 second in the video and I already like it

I just got one yesterday named Oliver Blu ! He is the sweetest but he's most definitely stubborn. He's 9 weeks and the hardest part is getting him to sleep and going to the bathroom. He's doing good! Just had a few mishaps, any potty training tips?

Mellow is so cute! 🥰 I just got a 2 month old Great Pyrenees puppy named Skyler, should I start training him or should I wait?

Hi there I have a new pup. And he is the calmest dog I ever had

i’m most likely getting a border collie/ pry mix soon do yku have any tips to help prevent food aggression

Great information ! Mine is 4 months old. His name is Run. (We are French) I heard that you cannot walk with a Great Pyrenean without a leash, otherwise he will escape. Are you able to take for a walk Mellow without leash ? Do you think it is possible ? Thanks a lot for all your precious advise. ❤️

Funny how they all got nap time command down to a T.

My pup is half GP half Rough Collie. She's 9 months and barks at people? Any suggestions?

my gb puppy loves to jump around and be wild, any tips?

This breed goes threw their stubborn moments lol but they do come around an start to listen the older they get.

I just got a 6 week old GP puppy today. He's 75% and 25% Australian shepherd, if anyone had tips I'd love the advice.

Just got a GP! Known him since he was a pup! Was around a lot until I left for college, I decided to get him from a relative. He’s 1 now. I’m training him now, and he’s registered! Ha pretty trained from a relative that trained him. Any tips for a college student taking him to Campus?

I have two small dogs, would a Great Pyrenees get along with them? We’re thinking of getting one that’s a few weeks old.

I have been training him with sign language He is a one year old His name is Champion Lee

How often should you feed the puppy pyrenees?

Hello! I just bought two 6 week old pyr pups. Do you have any general advice or tips?

I am soon getting a GP to protect my chickens!Do you think they could live with cats as well?

My Great Pyrenees extremely intelligent no sign language since day! Snap my fingers once set stop my finger appointment my finger to the ground lay down set my finger hand up stay there very intelligent dogs however they do shed at least the one I have now which I do not believe is a high-quality great Pyrenees at all

I also have a Great Pyrenees name Zane

Does this video help a female one that’s about a yr old. From the pound

Mellow is so cute

I don't understand your logic on the feeding and it only being one person. Makes no sense? What exactly are you basing this advice or recommendation on? Just curious

yea but if she’s tried to dominate me several times. i’m like tired of being snapped at. she’s gonna get put on a farm fr

Why does a great Pyrenees so small

His name is fuzz

your dog is busy sleeping

Lol great pyrenees are basically the dogs with the biggest sensory processing ...delays.

My GP is VERY lazy and boring 😂

Pyrenees need to stay at home and not go on outings. They are bred to stay and protect your livestock.
