Iceland Sheepdog (detailed introduction)

       For dogs, there is no need to be overly competitive or have strong exhibitionism, but they should not be timid or cowardly. If when seeing other dogs playing and having fun together, your dog alone tucks its tail quietly and walks to the corner, the owner will feel somewhat embarrassed. Therefore, we must ensure that the dog has at least basic confidence. How to improve a dog's confidence is the topic we want to discuss.

       A dog's confidence needs to be cultivated from a young age, especially during its early stages of life, as attention to its physical and mental growth is very important. This period is crucial for shaping the dog's personality and habits. As an owner, if you want your dog to become obedient, sensible, and confident, training and cultivation must begin at this time. The key to building their confidence still comes from the owner's encouragement. During daily care, if they do something right, you should praise them. If you see them showing fear or timidity toward something or someone, the owner should stay by their side, encourage them to overcome these issues, and once resolved, definitely give them appropriate rewards.

       You can also regularly take your dog to join normal dog group gatherings, guiding them to slowly learn how to communicate and interact with other pet dogs. We know dogs have strong territorial instincts, and in a dog group, they often compete fiercely to claim the top position. Therefore, when dogs are socializing, owners must carefully supervise. Normal chasing among dogs is understandable, but if there is tendency to fight, the dogs must be separated promptly to prevent bites to your own or others' dogs.

       A large part of a dog's personality is shaped by the owner, so we must pay attention to the methods when raising dogs. Do not let your dog be constantly bullied, but also do not cultivate a combative nature. Owners must grasp a proper balance to this "degree."
