Do Maremmas respond to commands?

FAQ - The Breed - The Maremma Sheepdog Club Of Great Britain...
Yes they do but they need to be trained early. They will not do undying obedience as Borders and German Shepherds, but they will learn enough commands to help make them sociable. Some people will encourage you to only go to ringcraft if you are going to show. It has to be said though that learning obedience is really just as good as they learn to stand and stay, your Maremma becomes more and more used to people and other dogs. Early obedience training helps to achieve a sound Maremma.

How are Maremmas with visitors/strangers?

FAQ - The Breed - The Maremma Sheepdog Club Of Great Britain...
It is good practice to introduce Maremmas to vistors and strangers in the home sitting. This is best started when they are young and small and they become used to strangers visiting. Even although we do this it does not mean that they will accept everyone as long lost friends, Maremmas are like people, they may not like or accept everyone. Remember too that Maremmas can be suspicious of polythene bags flapping or other objects, which to us seem fairly harmless and trivial.

Do Maremmas bark all of the time or just some of the time?

FAQ - The Breed - The Maremma Sheepdog Club Of Great Britain...
Maremmas can become barkers if not checked for doing so, or if they are encouraged to bark. Maremmas bark to alert to callers etc, but barking should not be encouraged for any reason.
