Lots of activity and exercise will make them happy. The benefits of a German Shepherd—loyalty, protectiveness and eagerness, to name a few—come from careful obedience training and authority. http://www.dogster.com/breeds/German_Shepherd |  | Shih Tzu Dogs Shih Tzu are a noble breed—sometimes translating into arrogance and haughtiness, other times into courageousness and politeness—but they are never too proud for a roll on the floor with a treasured squeaky toy. Though good family dogs, Shih Tzu are not especially good with very young children. http://www.dogster.com/breeds/Shih_Tzu |  | Pomeranian Dog Breed A healthy Pomeranian can live as long as 15 years. Overall, Pomeranians have a poised and proud carriage. Compact, sturdy and fluffy with slightly rounded, wedge-shaped heads, straight muzzles and pointy ears, they sometimes have a fox-like appearance. http://www.dogster.com/breeds/Pomeranian |  | Rottweiler Dog Breed Rottweilers have medium-sized, rugged, powerful builds with dense, straight and glossy coats. Coming from a long line of herders, Rottweilers also appreciate stimulating tasks and activities. Keep them busy with agility and obedience games. http://www.dogster.com/breeds/Rottweiler |  | Mastiff Dog Mastiffs rarely bark or make noise. When you come home, you’re likely to find yours stretched out on a bed or couch, their head perking up lazily to greet you. Mastiffs have few equals when it comes to protecting the family. They have been used as guard dogs for thousands of years. http://www.dogster.com/breeds/Mastiff |  | How to Train your Dog It can be done at home as a DIY project but most dogs can benefit tremendously from a well-taught obedience class. However, not all dogs are ready for group class, and some may benefit from private training instead. Finding a good trainer and knowing what type of services your dog needs is key to setting him up for training success. http://www.dogster.com/behavior-training/ | |
