The character of Stalin's dog

The nature of the dogs of this breed is related to their purpose - service. They have protective and protective qualities in their blood. But if most of the time guard dogs show aggression and attack uninvited guests, then the black terrier has its own tactics. He is more partisan and used to defend, rather than attack. The dog will not begin to fly out sharply towards him, he will watch carefully, and when the intruder of the territory starts to approach, he will attack.

The black terrier is called to protect not only the territory, but also the person. He is quickly excited if there is a threat, but as soon as it disappears, the dog instantly calms down.

From the very moment of the appearance of the breed, its representatives established close contact with the owner and were infinitely loyal to him. They are too attached to the person, therefore it is not recommended to leave the black terrier for a long time alone. With long-term loneliness, the dog will become too attached to the territory, that even the owner, who has entered its limits, will be considered a threat. beautiful black terrier

But with normal relations and upbringing, “chernysh” is the ideal guard. He will give a vote only if there is a reason for this. Possessing high intelligence and excellent reliability, he was accustomed to please his owner, calm and balanced. But sometimes puppies of this breed show curiosity and their research activities can cause damage to property. In this case, it should be borne in mind that a strong hand is required to raise a black terrier, the owner must delineate the border - what is possible and what is not. If this is not done, then the behavior of an adult, large pet subsequently change almost impossible.

Stalin's dogs, at any age, remain active and playful. They love children endlessly and are always happy to spend time with them, playing and indulging. Despite the impressive dimensions, the dog neatly and tenderly belongs to the small ones, which is due to their seasoned and balanced temperament. A pet allows its little owner almost everything, and even twitching for a mustache, will not be a cause for discontent. Often, black terriers choose a doorway in the nursery or at the crib as a place to sleep at night, carefully guarding the child.

Terriers need physical exertion, and future owners should take into account - walking with a four-legged friend will have a lot. The rest of the time, the dog is not averse to relaxing in the family circle, and if the owners allow it, they can sit on the sofa.

During walks, the owner of “Chernysh” should always be near and it is desirable to keep the dog on a leash in crowded places. Although terriers are not prone to sudden aggression or flight, their formidable appearance can frighten not only children, but even adults.

How to raise and train a pet?

Like all dogs of impressive size, black terriers need socialization and training. And professional dog experts recommend starting this process as early as possible, without waiting for the little lump to turn into a formidable giant. Early socialization will avoid possible difficulties in the future.

In the process, the owner will need tact and patience, the dog must learn to execute commands from the first time and, without being distracted, to external stimuli.

Signing up for preparatory courses with a black terrier can choose them, as he is able to cope with various activities:

  • guard duty;
  • Russian ring;
  • protective guard service.

For a companion dog, you can limit yourself to a general course of training, and then visit the training "city dog". In addition, with specialized training, the black terrier is able to work with the track. In this case, the pet will be a great helper during the hunt.

Puppies and adult members of the breed are very hardworking and can bear enormous physical exertion. And these qualities contribute to the fact that the dogs of this breed have success in sports competitions.

The general training course makes the dog more comprehensible and docile, however, the owners should not forget about their purpose. If the dog has leadership qualities, he is not too obedient and takes the owner as a leader, it is necessary to seek the help of professionals as soon as possible - it is very difficult to correct the behavior of an adult black terrier.
