Coming back to me does not kill the fun. Coming back to me is how he gets the fun.

The goal is not to count seconds. The goal is a muscle reflex: he hears down and his body goes down. For a Boerboel, the earlier you start, the easier it will be.

The easiest time to guide a Boerboel is exactly when most owners think there is nothing to worry about.

Look at your puppy this week. Not in the kitchen. At the door, at the fence, with a bone. When he switches on, can you bring him back even a little bit?

Before you fall for a Boerboel puppy, ask the breeder: what dog are you trying to produce?

Health first, then temperament, then structure. Size and color come after.

What would you ask a breeder first?

When a big guard dog bites someone, people say it came out of nowhere. Most of the time, it didn't.

In my experience, Boerboels take longer to switch from defense back to obedience. If that switch was never practiced, maturity turns it into a real problem.

3 questions to know if your dog is really obedient:
1. Without food in your hand?
2. When he's excited?
3. Away from home?

How many did your dog pass? Be honest in the comments.

Most Boerboel owners make one big mistake very early, and nobody sees it as a mistake.

They train the calm puppy in the kitchen. The switched-on puppy at the door, the fence and the bone is left alone. So he learns that obedience only happens when he's calm.

The Boerboel was built to guard farms. Calm, confident, and ready when it counts.

Today a lot of them are big, heavy and scared of everything. Weak nerves are the real problem, not the size of the head.

What do you think happened to this breed?

A sport dog and a real protection dog can look very similar… until you remove the sleeve.

Sport has rules, equipment and a predictable setup.
Real protection has to work in different environments, with different people and without depending on obvious equipment.

And the most important part? Control.

A real protection dog should be stable, neutral and safe — until there is a genuine reason to switch on.

Sport and real protection test different things.
