🐾 “HE’S JUST BEING STUBBORN” — OR IS HE? 🤍 🐾

One of the biggest misconceptions about Great Pyrenees is that they are “stubborn.”

But the truth is…
they were bred to think independently.

For thousands of years, Pyrenees were left alone with livestock to make decisions without humans telling them what to do. That means they often:

🐾 Think before reacting
🐾 Question commands
🐾 Make decisions on their own
🐾 Choose what THEY think is important

That’s not a lack of intelligence — it’s actually the opposite.

A Pyr is not usually going to obey like a Border Collie, Malinois, or Lab. They were bred for an entirely different purpose.

This is also why punishment-heavy training often fails with guardian breeds. They respond much better to:
✔️ Patience
✔️ Consistency
✔️ Trust
✔️ Relationship-based training

Once a Pyr trusts and respects you, they will absolutely work WITH you — but rarely because they’re blindly obedient.

And honestly?
That independent thinking is part of what makes them so special 💛

📸 Featuring Rollo, who decided listening was optional, and that lying in the grass for a nap was a much better idea 😂🐾
