They are strong, confident canines that instinctively defend their family and territory. They require a lot of room to run and are not suitable for living in apartments.
The dogs tend to bark at strangers. This can cause problems if it is not addressed in the beginning with your trainer. They are very at home with their family and are able to get along with children as long as the children are treated with respect.
They can get a bit exuberant during playtime and may cross paths with kids if not controlled. When introducing your dog to children, it’s important to establish basic commands and rules.
A one-size-fits-all approach to dog training doesn’t work with this breed and can actually be risky. This is because they were bred to guard territory and make decisions on their own instead of following the instructions of humans all day.
Grooming a Caucasian shepherd requires regularly cleaning to remove dead hair, particularly during the time of high shedding. Also, ensure that their ears are clean and trim their nails as necessary and brush their teeth 3 times per day to prevent dental problems.
As with many large dogs, they must also be fed a high-quality diet that’s suitable for their size. Ask your veterinarian about the specific health and nutrition requirements for this breed.
