    Training a Lowchen To Be a Watch Dog

    Many people get a dog because they want extra safety and security around their homes. A guard dog, or a canine that will actually stop an intruder, generally takes special breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are superb watch dogs.

    A watch dog basically notifies their owner to someone approaching their property. Even though your pet dog isn't a police canine, most barking dogs will discourage an intruder even if they aren't large. Most guard dogs also make fantastic watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make good guard dogs.

    Top 5 Best Guard Dogs

    1. Doberman Pinscher - The Doberman Pinscher is German breed originally used for guarding, police and military work. They are huge, powerful dogs that will alarm their owners to suspicious activity and can make great guard dogs as well.

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although little, the Cairn Terrier is mighty. They are strong-willed, feisty little terriers that are quite observant of their surroundings and will notify their owners to any novel activity in no time. Due to this, they make exceptional watch dogs.

    3. Rottweiler - The Rottweiler is a large German guard dog breed that is greatly loyal to its family but wary of strangers. However, they are not a great choice for amateur pet dog owners.

    4. German Shepherd - They are impressive guard dogs that will inform their owners of any strangers just a little too close to their homes.

    5. Akita - They will quickly alarm their owners to any uncommon activity. They are powerful dogs that are not well-suited for the inexperienced owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.

Lowchen Information

The lowchen is a compact small dog, very slightly longer than it is tall, with strong, sturdy — but never coarse — bone. Its gait is effortless with good reach and drive, and it proudly carries its head and tail. Its coat is dense and long, moderately soft with a slight to moderate wave. It is traditionally clipped in a lion trim. The lowchen has a relatively short, broad top skull and muzzle, and its expression is alert, bright and lively.

This is a lively, inquisitive, affectionate dog. It is a mixture of playful spirit and calm soul mate, a good companion for a quiet family. It is willing to please and responsive to commands, and it is devoted to its family. Some may bark or dig a lot.
