Comment on How do I make a dog mean? Not that I want that but would kind of like for him to also be our protector much as his. I don't want to hit him or deprive him though he is just sometimes tooo nice.

      So, one of the smartest breeds. You can teach it to do anything. Figure out what its biggest motivation is (treat, play, touch ect) and start using that as a reward when trying to teach a new behavior. I’d recommend using youtube/the library to see specific training techniques. You have a very smart and trainable dog.

        Thank you for your answer sometimes I don’t know how to phrase stuff correctly. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart and my Buddy’s stomach…no sarcaasm in that.
