Dog Training - Caucasian Mountain Dogs

A lot of people have a misconception of these dogs being big cute bears. Just because they look cute does not mean they will act cute when a person runs up to them and starts petting them. Here’s what you should do when you see a Caucasian.

To DO:

• Do ask the owner in normal voice if it is safe to walk by
• Do wait for the owner to get the dog on short lead and under his direct control
• Do walk by making no notice to the Caucasian. More likely then not Caucasian is used to seeing people walk by normally on the street
• Do use common sense around Caucasian Mountain Dogs

The do NOT:

• Do not run toward the Ovcharka
• Do not scream around the Ovcharka
• Do not make sudden and sharp movements around a Caucasian or his owner, most will react
• Do not sneak up on Caucasians and their walkers, this is perhaps the best way to get hurt. Make sure the owner knows you are coming and has time to secure the dog
• Do not let your small/big/medium dog closer then 50ft to Caucasian unless you asked owners permission to let dogs meet. Most Caucasians are very animal aggressive
• Kind of redundant, but do not stop while driving to ask the owner questions. It just aggravates the dog and the owner and you wont get any answers from angry owner trying to keep his dog off your car.
• Do not think they will not bite because you are not afraid of them. If you give them a reason, they will bite and you will get hurt, your fear has absolutely nothing to do with how dogs perceive you. So please use common sense and don’t give a Caucasian a reason to protect himself and His owner

Besides in most states sneaking up from behind or running up full speed and trying to grab the dog can be considered an assault on person and his property (Yes dogs are property); Thus giving a Caucasian the full go to protect. Please use caution and common sense.
