#13 In relation to many other dog breeds, the upbringing of the Newfoundland is certainly a little more rewarding.
But you shouldn't be too casual about it. Don't forget that this breed of dog is quite powerful. If your dog doesn't know certain basic rules, he can pull you along on the leash and you can hardly do anything to counteract the force. Therefore, the same applies to the upbringing of Newfoundland dogs: practice is good at an early age. Put the topic of walking on a leash high in your training.
#14 The breed is often motivated by treats. Always work consistently.
Your dog should learn to rely on you. The point is not to enforce a command with all severity, but to offer your dog security through the reliability of your commands and the associated consequences. He learns that you can be relied on and can therefore go through life more relaxed himself. And please always think of a lot of praise. If you praise often, the sensitive giant will be happy to show good behavior again.
#15 It is also important for the Newfoundland dog that he gets to know as many places and charms as possible, even before puberty. Of course, a competent dog school can also be a great support for you.
Please do not despair if your "copy" is not easy to motivate. This is by no means atypical for this breed of dog. These four-legged friends don't like the sun at all and prefer to doze in the shade.
