#10 The South African Boerboel is a dog that should be trained at least for the safety of others.
Representatives of this breed are not very fond of lessons, so they will have to be motivated with a treat or a favorite toy. As for the basics of home etiquette, they must be fixed with the pet for several years. Do not be indignant if the Boerboel periodically breaks down and pretends that he has forgotten the previously successfully observed rules of conduct. With age, this "forgetfulness" goes away.
#11 It is necessary to start working with the dog in the first weeks of its appearance in the house.
Be sure to introduce your kid to the prohibition system. The puppy should not bite, play hugs with family members, stand on its hind legs and put the front legs on the person's shoulders, and also pull the leash when walking on the street. It is better to suppress disobedience attempts abruptly and rather rudely. If a young Boerboel in the game tries your hands with his teeth, show the animal who is in charge here by shouting sternly at the bully and lifting him by the collar from the ground.
#12 On a walk, the animal should move freely on a leash, and not drag the owner running along a jump in tow.
Remember, the Boerboel is a strong dog, and if you stumble during the promenade, he will calmly drive you through mud and puddles from ten meters. Therefore, if on the street a puppy tries to play dominant and pulls on a harness, he is brought to his senses with a sharp jerk of the leash and a command, for example, "Take a walk!"
