Anatolians are not like any other breed of dog, nor any other LGD for that matter.
I have written several articles about our Anatolians for the breeder's magazine. They start with the purchase of our first Anatolian. I need to point out that this was not our first LGD. Over the past 30 years we had 5 Pyrenees before purchasing our first of 4 Anatolians. I also had a previous 20 years experience training and showing Weimaraners. Those dogs were perfectly obedience trained, but that experience could not be applied to training LGDs. Anyone who thinks that because they have trained other breeds they can apply the same training methods to LGDs needs to reconsider.
