them as well.

Depends on the dog as with any breed. Some are soft and only need verbal
correction and some are hard and need a bit more. Most of mine are soft,
got 2 hard heads. Teach them your rules and to respect your authority -
be consistent and you should be fine. What I mean is - if you don't want
them to be on the sofa - don't let them slide one time. Take them out
around people and kids when they are young. Most of all - look for a
breeder that can help fit the puppy to you if you are going that way. If
you are getting a rescue, deal with one of the wonderful reps that are
around.
