Did you know, that approximently 500 Newfoundland dogs, sre put to sleep every year because they get into dog fights and hurt other dogs and are put to sleep by the Virginia Beach Animal Control? There is a very easy way, to prevent that. Take the time to train your dog when they are puppies. Newfoundlands are known as “Gentle Giants.” They protect their owners from harm, better than any other known dog breed. My Grandmother bred her female Newfoundland, last spring and had 9 puppies.I was able to teach all 9 of them basic training, in the matter of 4 months. Now 8 of them have a loving owner and an owner that loves them back. When I first told them to sit, they looked at me, like I was stupid. Then I found out, I had to have a lot of patience. In the matter of weeks, I started to notice some improvement. They would sit, when they were told, but after walking away from them, they would follow me. I now knew, I had to teach them to “stay.” I would have to say, teaching them to stay, was the hardest rule, to teach them.I had to have a lot of patience. They seemed to not to be improving for about 2 and a half weeks. Then, they started to understand. I still had one unfinished part of business, to take care of. Teaching them to greet,with Kindness. After a long 4 months my job was done and I was proud. I am still to this day proud, that my Grandmother, doesn’t have to worry, about them, with their new owners.
