How To Train A Maremma As A Pet

Introduction

The Maremma is a large white dog with black eyes and ears. They have long hair that often covers their eyes, which can make them look like they’re wearing sunglasses. They’re often called “polar bears” because of their size and appearance. It’s no surprise then that these dogs are great at herding sheep or guarding livestock from predators like wolves or coyotes.

Maremma dogs are often bred for their intelligence, but many of them end up being surrendered to shelters and rescue groups.

Maremmano-Abruzzese shepherds are bred for their intelligence and strong work ethic. They’re often surrendered to rescue groups and shelters, however, because they need a lot of exercise and companionship. Maremma dogs are also known for roughhousing with other animals during playtime.

If you’re thinking about adopting a Maremma, make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into.

Before considering adopting a Maremma as a pet, it’s important to understand what you’re getting yourself into. Maremmas are not for everyone. They can be difficult to train and care for, and they require a lot of attention. If you have small children in your home, this is not the dog for you—Maremmas tend to be protective of their families and may become aggressive around young children. Likewise, if you live in an apartment or condo that doesn’t allow dogs or don’t have enough space outside to exercise your new canine companion daily (or even weekly), then again: this breed isn’t right for you.

They need sturdy fences that are at least six feet tall, otherwise they can easily climb them or dig under them.

Your Maremma will need to be kept in a fenced-in area. They are too smart and strong to be trusted around other animals or people, so they must be kept on their own property. A Maremma can easily climb over or dig under a fence if it is not tall enough, so make sure that yours has one that is at least six feet tall. You should also consider installing an electric wire along the top of your fence because this breed is known for its stubbornness.

A Maremma puppy or adult dog needs at least two hours of vigorous daily exercise, a job to do and companionship from people.

The time spent with your dog should include some special one-on-one time with you as well as opportunities for free play or structured activities such as training classes. A good walk, jog or hike will provide the necessary exercise but remember that it’s important that your dog be able to run free; don’t confine them on leash unless they are learning to heel or walk calmly next to you in public places. If possible, introduce your Maremma puppy/dog to swimming when young so he can enjoy this activity too!

A job is crucial for every dog (and most cats). It gives them something meaningful and purposeful for which they can feel proud of themselves when done well, helps keep them busy during their waking hours and provides an outlet for their natural instincts – whether it’s herding sheep or chasing down criminals! Dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years yet still retain many wild traits; providing outlets for these instincts helps reinforce their trust in humans while keeping them healthy both physically and mentally.

If you have a dog that is laid back and tolerant by nature, it probably won’t mind having a Maremma around.

If you have a dog that is laid back and tolerant by nature, it probably won’t mind having a Maremma around. If your dog enjoys being with other dogs, interacting with people, or chasing after squirrels or rabbits, he or she will be less likely to feel threatened by the Maremma. For example, if your dog likes to go on long walks through the woods (and doesn’t mind getting dirty), then the Maremma may enjoy joining in on those adventures.

When they play with other animals they can be very rough because they don’t realize their own strength.

Maremmas are bred to be working dogs, and when they play with other animals they can be very rough because they don’t realize their own strength. If you have other pets in your household or plan on getting a pet, your Maremma will need training to interact gently with that animal. Your Maremma also needs training to interact gently with people and other dogs.

It is important to socialize your dog with other people and pets.

Socialization is the process of familiarizing a puppy or dog with people, places and other animals. Puppies are born with a natural fear of new things, but can be gradually acclimated to them as they grow. If a dog does not get adequate socialization during this period, he may develop fearful or aggressive behavior toward unfamiliar situations as an adult.

To help your Maremma adjust to its new home, take it on several walks around the neighborhood every day for about 20 minutes at first and gradually increase the time spent outside. Allow your dog plenty of time to play with other pets in your house such as cats and rabbits if possible so that he can become comfortable around those animals too!

Training your dog will help you form a bond with it, teach it the rules and keep it out of mischief.

Dogs are naturally very intelligent animals that can be trained to do a variety of things. Training is a great way to bond with your dog and also teaches them what they can and cannot do. For example, if you want your dog to stop jumping on people when they come in the door, training is an effective way to teach them this rule.

Training can be done in many different ways: by yourself or with an instructor; through books or by watching videos on YouTube; at home or at classes; etc…

At some point during training, your dog may decide that he doesn’t want to follow commands anymore because you’re no longer holding food in front of his nose!

As your dog begins to trust you and realize that he can trust you, he will begin to understand what it means when you tell him to sit or lie down. At some point during training, your dog may decide that he doesn’t want to follow commands anymore because you’re no longer holding food in front of his nose! Your dog has realized that there is no reward coming and so why should he listen? This is why it’s important not just to use treats when training but also praise and affection. The more fun a game seems like while they are playing with their owner, the more likely they will want to repeat it again and again!

Once your dog has mastered basic commands like “sit”, “stay” and “come” then he can move on to advanced training such as agility courses or obedience work (if he likes those things).

If not, then you can continue with basic training.

Conclusion

A Maremma is a large breed of dog that can weigh up to 150 lbs. They were originally bred for their intelligence and obedient nature, but many end up being surrendered to shelters and rescue groups due to neglectful owners who were unable or unwilling to provide them with proper training. The dogs need sturdy fences that are at least six feet tall in order for them contain them properly; otherwise they will climb over or dig under any fence with ease (and if they get out they may never come back). If you’re thinking about adopting one of these dogs it’s very important that you know what you’re getting into: they require at least two hours of vigorous daily exercise, plenty of toys or other activities in order keep them busy during down time as well as companionship from people. When given the right home environment these animals can be loyal companions for life!
