Because they are so strong willed, they can be quite hard to train, especially if their education does not start early enough in their lives. It takes a great deal of patience, consistency and an understanding of the breed to train an Anatolian Shepherd and even then, there is no guarantee of these dogs being 100% obedient. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of socialising puppies from a young age so as mature dogs they are more tolerant of things and this includes being around other dogs.
