pounce brilliance of tervuren dog

Dogs of the Belgian Tervuren breed usually have moderate bite forces, ranging from 200 to 400 PSI. The biting power of a Belgian Tervuren may nevertheless be very strong and inflict bite wounds, even if this PSI level is not very high in comparison to other dog breeds.

You shouldn't be scared of a well-trained and well-managed Belgian Tervuren just because its bite is strong. Bite inhibition training is a must for Belgian Tervuren pups to avoid problems down the road.

Like many other breeds, the Belgian Tervuren is intimidating because of its powerful jaw. Therefore, be careful not to provoke the dog, particularly in unfamiliar situations, until it is well-trained. Belgian Tervurens are great companion dogs since they are quiet and friendly despite having a powerful bite. Because of their amiability and low maintenance requirements, they are great pets for families.

The Belgian Tervuren's biting power is interesting, but it shouldn't be the defining feature of the breed. There are many other reasons why these dogs are adored and esteemed.

A well-socialized and trained Belgian Tervuren may become a trustworthy and protective family pet. One aspect of responsible ownership is learning to recognize and control their biting power; another is receiving thorough training and getting to know the breed as a whole.
