They will need to be taught from the time they are puppies, who the master is or they will take over as an alpha. They will require a firm hand, fair treatment, and consistency in their care. They will not respond to harsh words or actions or a heavy-handed approach. They will become aggressive if they are treated in a disrespectful manner.
