The activity level in the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is variable. They are capable of being athletic,
but usually that activity is in bursts; they are active for short periods of time followed by napping. They
want to be with their owners and to participate; their activity level most often matches the activity level
of the family. As a working dog, they like having a job to do and enjoy participating in hiking, carting,
obedience trials, herding, weight pulling and backpacking with their owners.
Being alert and vigilant, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a good watchdog. They tend to notice
everything in their surroundings and are quick to sound alarm. Faced with a threat, they will stand
their ground and put on a show that will intimidate those unfamiliar with the dog. Greater Swiss

This giant breed matures slowly in both mind and body, taking anywhere from 2 to 3 years. The
objective in training this dog is for the owner to achieve pack leader status. As youngsters, they can
be quite boisterous and they do require steady and reliable training to develop manners and physical
self-control. As with all large, active working dogs, this breed should be well socialized early in life with
other dogs and people, and be provided with regular activity and training.
