The Bergamasco is an intelligent dog and although they have an independent side to their nature, in the right hands they are easy to train. The key to successfully training one of these dogs is to start their education early and to always be consistent, fair yet firm.
Puppies must be well socialised from a young age for them to be truly well rounded, obedient dogs later in their lives. Without all the right sort of contact with other dogs, animals and different situations, a Bergamasco might become wilful and unruly, making them harder to handle.
