Remember- NEVER Bond with a LGD- ;)

[Southern by choice]

Remember- NEVER EVER EVER under any circumstances love on or give too much attention to your LGD. Repeat- Do not bond with your LGD's as they will not do their job!

YES- I am being sarcastic! I really despise that teaching. Got a few pics the other week and then again the other day- Not the best quality pics...

I was working on some roofing and my DS was off saying hi to "D"

"D" doesn't lick but gives nose bumps for kisses!
"D" giving a kiss

Such a loving Gentle Giant

Callie- wanting some attention too

Callie is happy and ready to play- you can see jealous D still under DS arm

"D" up front getting love from DD

Callie in the front yard while we trimming trees and bushes... what a BABY! She has no modesty whatsoever.

She will stay like this for hours if someone is laying next to her!

Random shots DD got-

It is obvious that you didn't listen when the traditional LGD trainers laid out the rules.

The one with your son and D really puts his size into perspective.

Love the photos. Callie looks so sweet.

These are great! It would be so hard for me to resist sleeping with them in my bed throughout the winter.

Not like I haven't tried that one my house is COLD BRRRR.... but the dogs... they get tooo hot and so they are NO FUN! They start panting and fidgeting and they are nocturnal so they are ready to go... while I just want to sleep and stay warm.

I will say when I was very sick and was in the hospital for a week and came home, "D" was only a teenager pup at the time and he stayed by my side for days making sure "mommy" was ok.

"D" is my baby

Yes, I can see them being uncomfortable, but it's all about my warmth when it's this COLD out! haha

Such loving dogs! My Pit (Archie) is not only an awesome dog, he is great at cuddling as well.

I swear my dogs work better when they get affection. Every one needs to know they're doing a good job, and what better way to let your LGD know than a pat, a belly rub a nuzzle?

The level of bonding in the LGDs is the key to training. I find little need for formal training "lessons", my Tornjak strives to do almost anything I ask of him because of the type bonding displayed in the pics. You can see and feel it. Love it.
