Many have said that a Pyr is too stubborn for obedience training. That is not true. You have to take in thier character when dealing with them but it does help emmensly. Not only does it help but it helps establish you as Alpha and you need that with a Pyr.
Keep the lessons short and consistant. And stay with it. My granddaughter taught one of my females to sit, come, down, stay, and beg in one day and she has never forgotten it. I attribute much of that to the individual dog but all Pyrs with age and obedience training are much easier to live with.
Make sure your dog knows that it is not exceptable to act that way onleash and bear with it. Also remember that a Pyr is not emotionally mature until 3 years of age. Those of you with younger Pyrs, dont get discouraged. They will outgrow most of it.
