#4 Lakenois are very loyal dogs that love to be close to their owner and feel a close bond.
On the other hand, this breed has independence and knows how to make its own decisions, it is in the genes. After all, a shepherd dog can often be at a considerable distance from the owner, and when faced with danger, when it is necessary to protect the herd, the dog must make decisions himself.
#5 In addition, the Laquenois also guarded the laundry hung for drying in the mountainous regions, which also does not imply the presence of the owner nearby.
Therefore, upbringing requires a firm hand and self-confidence, since a soft, indecisive person who does not know how to put himself in the role of a leader will not achieve success.
#6 On the contrary, the dog may try to take a leadership position in the family on its own, and try to manage it like a herd.
By the way, the qualities of management can be especially pronounced with children, as if the Laquenois feels responsible for them as for their sheep, which need to be grazed and driven into the room in the evening when it's time to go to bed.
