At What Age Do Great Pyrenees Start Guarding

If you’re bringing a Great Pyrenees into your life, you’re in for a treat. These large, fluffy dogs are known for their sweetness and gentle nature. Still, the Pyr’s reputation as a protector of family and flock is well-earned. It’s almost impossible to resist this dog’s charm and alert nature—and that applies no matter what age they are when you adopt them. However, there’s no doubt that a young Pyr will be more energetic than an older dog. And that energy can be put to great use! A young Pyr might guard more aggressively than an older one—after all, his physical abilities will likely peak before he begins to slow down with age. If you have livestock or other animals that need protection from predators on your property, this could be a major benefit of adopting an adolescent Pyr instead of an adult or senior dog! At the same time though…

When will my Great Pyrenees start guarding?

The answer to this question is, “it depends.” Great Pyrenees can start guarding at any age, from puppyhood to adulthood. The average age for a Great Pyrenees to start guarding is roughly 3-4 months of age for puppies and about 1 year old for adults. However, if you have an adult Pyr who has not been socialized or trained by his parents, he may need more time before he can protect your home and family effectively.

Additionally, rescued dogs may begin guarding sooner because they have likely been abused in the past or have traumatic experiences from their previous homes that still cause them stress. These dogs will need more time than others before they are fully ready to guard your home and family members against intruders

I have a young Great Pyrenees in training. How do I train him to guard?

The oldest and best way to train a puppy to guard is positive reinforcement training. The younger the dog, the more important it is that you use this method.

The first thing you need to do when training your puppy is teach him how to walk on a leash. This can be done by attaching a leash to his collar and gently pulling him towards you while using positive reinforcement (praise) when he moves towards you, then releasing him once he gets close enough so that he doesn’t choke himself on the leash or trip over it while walking on it. You should also make sure not to let any slack form in the line between yourself and your puppy when doing this exercise: if there’s too much slack in there, it will make things harder for both of us because I won’t know where my limit ends up being until after I cross it!

Another way we can fix this problem is by using what some people call “long leashes.” A long leash looks like one normal-sized rope but can stretch out as far as 10 feet long! They’re great for teaching dogs how stay within certain boundaries without having them feel unsafe about doing so since they’ll still have plenty of room left over if their owner decides suddenly decide go somewhere else instead (which could happen often). However even though these types of leashes exist today only recently did anyone ever dream up such an idea before now so unless someone invented something similar back then doesn’t seem likely…

What commands should I teach my dog to effectively start guarding?

Now that you have a Great Pyrenees puppy, it’s time to start training. The most important thing is to get a dog that you can work with and who is willing to learn. Once the basics are down, it’s time for protection training!

Guard dogs are trained to protect their owners by barking and warning attackers that they have been detected so that they can be kept at bay until the police arrive. This type of training takes time and effort but if done right your Great Pyrenees will become your best friend as well as guard dog extraordinaire!

Here are some tips on how to perform protection work with your Great Pyrenees:

Can I use a puppy for guarding?

While it is possible to train a puppy to be protective, you must be careful. You will need to train your puppy as if it were young and socialize him or her in order for them to be comfortable around people and other animals.

What is the best way to stop aggression in an adult Pyr who won’t stop barking at people?

• Be consistent. If you’re going to punish your Pyr for barking, make sure you do so every time he does it. Don’t let him get away with one or two barks and then find yourself getting frustrated when he continues to bark for another ten minutes.
• Give a reason. If you are trying to stop barking, give an appropriate reason why he should stop barking first—like telling him that if he barks again, then his treat will be taken away from him. This teaches him that there is a direct relationship between the action of barking (the behavior) and something bad happening as a result (the consequence).
• Reward quiet behavior with praise and affection when appropriate. When your Great Pyrenees doesn’t bark at visitors after being told not too, reward this good behavior with praise and some quality time spent together doing fun activities such as playing fetch or going for walks through parks together!

I’m concerned about aggression from my Great Pyrenees toward my children. How can I prevent this?

• Teach your dog to be gentle with children.
• Teach your dog to be gentle with other dogs, cats and other animals (such as chickens or rabbits).
• Teach the dog not to bite or nip people that come into the house, even if someone comes in without knocking on the door or you have an unexpected visitor at home unexpectedly which may scare the puppy into nipping you when you’re trying to calm him down from his excitement of having company over unexpectedly!
• Take him out for walks around town so he can get used to meeting new people and learn how to behave properly around them as well! When strangers come up unexpectedly while walking around town it will help lower his anxiety levels because he’ll know what they want before they try talking with him first so there’s no surprises involved here either!

You will want your Pyr to start guarding as soon as he’s ready, which is usually around the time he’s reached his full size.

When your Great Pyrenees puppy reaches about 6 months old, and weighs about 70 pounds (31 kg), he’ll be ready for this type of training.

I hope this information has been helpful for you. Here is a recap of the most important points to remember:

• Great Pyrs start guarding at different ages depending on their individual development, but most Pyrs are ready to guard by the time they’re 18 months old.
• Training your Pyr to guard can be done with careful obedience training, starting with simple commands like “sit” and “stay.”
• Remember that not every Pyr will be a good guard dog—but if you have an adult Pyr who isn’t doing his job properly, there are ways to stop aggression before it hurts anyone in your family or neighborhood!
