#1 Own independent thinking – it is often mistaken for stubbornness, but in fact, it is enough to establish mutual understanding.
#2 The hierarchical sense is very strongly developed, so they try to establish a rank in relation to other dogs of the owner.
#3 It is important to achieve recognition of a person as a leader during the first weeks and months of the dog’s life, otherwise he will dominate.
