Bernese Mountain Dog Training: Dog Training for your Bernese Mountain puppy
Why is training your puppy so important?
In the first weeks and months, the foundations are laid for the relationship between you and your little puppy. During this time, you can do a lot of good things but at the same time you can make a lot of mistakes. It is often the small things which decide whether you can leave your house feeling relaxed or if you must always be afraid that your dog will destroy everything. In order to avoid that happening, it is important that you start immediately with moderate and up-to-date training for your puppy. Not only will it make life easier, but will also ensure that you have a close and satisfying relationship with him.
Why is this book useful to you?
It is useful if you want to accept a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy into your life or if you already have a small puppy at home. If you have not yet gathered any experience with training a puppy, in particular with the Bernese Mountain Dog breed. If you are a beginner to this subject and want to have it clearly explained by an expert.
Why is it expedient to have a guidebook specifically for a particular breed?
Every breed is different and has different preferences, strengths and characteristics. Naturally, many elements in puppy training are the same with all breeds. However, there are some details which vary according to the breed. It is not such a big problem if you do not know about this, but it would make your life a lot easier if you take these details into consideration.
What you can expect from this book:
- Background knowledge on the Bernese Mountain Dog breed
- Basic knowledge on the training of puppies
- Useful tips before your puppy arrives
- Step-by-step instructions on how to teach the basic commands
Expert knowledge, uncomplicated, in a nutshell!
It is our aim to give expert advice, in simple language and to the point, for beginners.
The training of dogs is often...
- ... confused with classical dog training drills
- ... only considered necessary for demanding dogs
- ... mocked by other dog owners
- ... replaced by anti-authoritarian methods
- ... considered too difficult to achieve without experience.
What constitutes dog training and what is it good for? And how can you and your Bernese Mountain Dog profit from it without having any experience?
The most important thing is to understand how a dog sees his world, what is “normal” for him and how you can use this to your advantage. In addition, the characteristics of each breed are significant when you get beyond the basic training phase. Your Bernese Mountain Dog will show characteristics which are different to those of a Husky, for example, and this is predominantly what you need to consider during training.
This is the first volume of the “How to Train Bernese Mountain Dogs” series. You can find more information about volume II and III below.
Author Claudia Kaiser says about her book:
“It was my desire to let other dog owners profit from the knowledge I have gained over many years, and after making many mistakes. I love my dog and know how important it is to adapt the training to suit each breed. It is exactly this desire that prompted me to write this book. My aim is to help every beginner, not only to understand his dog better, but also to know exactly how to get the best results, step-by-step, so that you can achieve a close, positive and trusting human-dog relationship.”
Quench your curiosity to know about background information, read reports on other experiences and obtain step-by-step instructions and secret tips which are tailor-made for your Bernese Mountain Dog.
With this book you will discover…
- ... how your Bernese Mountain Dog sees his world
- ... and how you can progressively train your dog to receive the best results.
Your Bernese Mountain Dog will appreciate it!

I have not owned a puppy for a few years and whilst I have a lot of experience of dog training I found this book aurhorative and an excellent refresher course on sound basic principles of puppy training. Can’t wait to read the next one.

It's just a generic dog training book, which has been poorly translated, and the dog breed cut and pasted into each version, personally I thought it was s complete waste of money

Good book for new Bernese owners. Relevant and direct information about your puppy. Only issue I had was the language; it’s been directly translated from German so some terms and sentences are hard to understand.

I enjoyed the fast-pace, quick read and to-the-point tips offered by Ms. Kaiser. Having a training book specifically for my breed of dog was very insightful. I appreciated the basic commands with clear step by step instructions, and expert extra tips and secrets. The concise logic behind the training methods was useful in understanding why the methods should be done the way they were explained.

This is our 1st Bernese, but I did not get anything from this book and training techniques. We have a 10 week old puppy and she won’t walk on a leash, she plants her buns and won’t move. The book only discusses puppies who pull or try to lead. I’ve trained 3 Golden’s over the years who all were well mannered, trained great dogs, but never used any of the strict methods used in this book other than to get them used to walking on one side of you. Think for a young puppy you don’t have to instill such stick training rules.

I didn't like anything about the book. Small size, large double spaced print to fill the pages. Didn't find the information I read it particularly useful. I suggest spending the money on a different Berner book, or just use the internet and get better information from a Facebook Group.

Loved the simple direction, and the way the steps were displayed in the read. After each section, there is an easy review of each command, and training process. Great for the new puppy owner, preparing to train a young pup. This book is very specific to the breeds temperament and manner.
