Is it possible to train my St. Bernard from letting small children getting too close to the water canal?
Full Question:
Hi,I am wondering if it would be possible to train my st. bernard to guard my small children from getting too close to the water canal. She is 6 months old and already shows protective behavior for my children.
How would I go about training her to do that?
Thank you for your time,
Rachael

It would be irresponsible to suggest that a dog or puppy can prevent a child from getting too close to water.
Train the dog to be a good family member and supervise your kids personally. Please do not expect a dog to do a human’s job, there is too much at stake.
We have a number of free resources on the website to teach you how to train your puppy, I would recommend learning to use our SEARCH function, which is located in the top left corner of every page of the website.
