Broholmer Personalities
The Broholmer is a resilient and independent dog breed known to be very protective and loving with their family. They have a loyal temperament and are generally good with children. They can be wary of strangers, so it is important to socialize them early and often when they are puppies. Both male and female Broholmers display a strong and confident personality, though females can be more sensitive than males. When I had a Broholmer, they were always willing to please and would always listen when given commands. We took a trip to the park with our Broholmer and they were always very eager to explore, but not particularly obedient when it came to coming back or heeling. It didn’t take long for me to realize that the Broholmer was an intelligent breed that wanted to learn but also had a stubborn streak. All in all, the Broholmer makes a great family companion who is loyal and protective of its family, while also being confident and eager to explore.

One game that is great for training a Broholmer is fetch. Start by teaching your Broholmer to fetch a toy or ball. Once your pup has mastered bringing the toy back to you, you can begin adding more complex commands such as “drop” or “leave it”. This will help your pup learn to obey commands quickly.
You can also play hide and seek with your Broholmer. This game will help your pup learn search and retrieve skills, as well as their tracking skills. As your pup gets better at finding you, start hiding in different locations and give them harder and harder tasks to find you.

Finally, you can play tug-of-war with your Broholmer to help teach them impulse control. Start by having them tug on a toy for a few seconds and then tell them to drop it. Gradually increase the time you have them tug for until you have them engage for a full two minutes. This will help them learn to control their impulses and better respond to commands.
Example Dog House Style Suited to Broholmer
The Broholmer is an ancient breed of farm dog that originally hails from Denmark. As such, a style of dog house that would suit this breed would be a sturdy, robust structure that is able to withstand the elements. A traditionally designed wooden doghouse that is raised off the ground slightly or is placed on a strong platform would be well suited to this breed. It should be spacious enough to allow the dog to move around comfortably, yet small enough that it will retain heat during colder weather. Additionally, the house should be insulated, and a hinged roof is recommended for easy maintenance and cleaning. Finally, the Broholmer is a social breed and may feel less isolated in the house if it is partially enclosed on the side and front, giving them more of a sense of security.
