Because it is fearless, extremely loyal, and robust, the South African Boerboel makes an outstanding watchdog or guard. Patches loves his family so much that he would cheerfully give his life to keep them alive. It might be devastating when friends or relatives come to visit. Strangers are not welcome in the home of the Boerboel breed. He doesn’t like other animals either. Proper introductions and monitoring are required when there are visitors present.
What To Do As A Breeder of King Of the Cages Patches ?
Pay attention to yourself is one of the first lessons to teach your dog. Before you take your dog out in public, make sure he knows he can trust you and that he looks to you for direction. It’s also crucial for you to understand how to get your dog’s attention back when he’s enthusiastic, irritated, scared, or otherwise distracted by someone or something you meet on your walk.
It would help if you practiced these so that you can keep and recapture your dog’s attention when you’re out in public. Maintain his attention on you, and offer him a behavior signal, such as SIT, as soon as you spot a potential trigger, such as a loose animal, jogger, bicycle, skater, or the like. Wait until you are well past the distraction before giving a release cue (such as ‘OK’).
It’s also beneficial to teach your dog to tolerate stimuli like joggers, bicyclists, and strollers. With the help of a willing friend or neighbor and a few brief sessions, you can acclimatize your dog to bikes, strollers, and fast-moving people. Start this conditioning as part of socialization from the beginning if you have a young dog or a freshly adopted adult dog. If your Boerboel has a fear of, or aggression against, such triggers, seek the advice of a qualified balanced method trainer/behaviorist before the situation becomes dangerous.
