I have noticed my Pyr doesn't respond to training as other dogs have. For example, in previous breeds, teaching a dog to sit can easily be coaxed by lightly squeezing their lower back near the hip area (I was taught this by my previous trainer). I noticed my Pyr hates this. He will spin around and lightly bite me to let me know he disapproves. Is this common for the breed?
As well, with past breeds when a puppy is mouthing, a slight squeeze to the snout between the fangs and back teeth to get them to release often works (again, a technique I learned by a former trainer). My Pyr hates that and resulted in him giving me a "hard" stare with a wrinkled nose (no growl or snarl) - enough to let me know, "don't do that to me or I'm going to take you out". Is this common for the breed? Are there other things I should know about a Pyr's training preference? For example, do they respond best to clicker training or another type of training?
