Great Pyrenees Facebook Groups
If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for an awesome community full of Great Pyrenees lovers. Thankfully, the internet is full of them! Over the years, I’ve found a few Great Pyrenees Facebook groups that I enjoy scrolling through in my free time (err… the few minutes I find as I stand in line at the grocery store!).
As I started to put this post together of my favorite Great Pyrenees Facebook groups, I realized that there were so many more that I was missing. I had barely touched on the “Great Pyrenees Facebook scene”! Here are a few of my favorites, plus others I found in my recent search:

It’s great how there’s so many good groups for the breed. I’ve been trying to find reputable Yorkie ones.
I purchased a GP 2 months ago (now 4mos old) and have had a lot of issues. Some are contributed to the “puppy stage” but it seems he has taken over. My kids are afraid of him. He will be mellow one minute and lunge for you the next. I have done a lot of research and have exhausted almost all outlets. We have a training class set up for this month. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated☺️
My Great Pry is very protective of me follows me everywhere but I have other dogs in the house and one minute he is ok with them the next he is jumping on them wanting to fight. Def take him to trainer but he will sense the fear of the kids so take them with you.
Hi owned and bred Great Pyrenees for over 35 years. Very young to be so dominate. You need to take charge. Keep a leash on him when interacting with family. Only let him interact when you are there and in charge. Sits and fowns a must. Reward if food motivates. Be very firm never abusive. I would have a separate place to keep him when you are not around. Now is the time to teach rules and boundaries. Good luck. Earn his trust by being firm and fair.
Just an observation , I’ve only had my Pyrenees for a few months but realized that that he is an alpha male with a pecking order. It is taking time for him to get along with my German Shepard who has been here for 3 years. They both want my attention for themselves. I’ve had to spray them with water. &I don’t feed them together.
He is good with other dogs and roams like he owns the universe. He’s a great watch dog and yes he barks at night at what ever animal roams on my property. He’s an outside animal and has hair like sheep. His undercoat pull out and I wish I had a spinning wheel for yarn, lol. It’s our bonding time. He looks at me with love and appreciation. I live on 12 acres with hundreds of surrounding acres and someone abandoned him here. I’m so glad they did because I fell in love with him.
As far as your children go, your dog is establishing the pecking order. Maybe if your kids give him the treats when rewarding good behavior along with praises. Try having them walk with a leash and the child always has him next to or behind him. These dogs take time to train, allow your children to groom and feed them for bonding. Good luck , it will work out!
The dog behind him when walking. Words were confusing there, sorry.
Thank you!
We have an 8-month-old Great Pyrenees. We got him to protect our Chickens. He has killed 3 of them One during day 2 at night. The night ones did not get put up could not find them. How can we get him to stop killing Chickens? Please don’t say Put them up, LOL. He is a great Dog Very Lovable and great as a watch dog. Just seems to have a thing for chicken.
Any help would be appreciated
It used to be said to tie the dead chicken to the dog, around the neck of the do, onto his collar I suppose.
He would have to wear it for a day or two. I doubt my Jason would tolerate that for long. It sounds horrible but is supposed to work. I have only heard about that, no personal experience.
Some have strong prey instincts. Not good farm dogs. Need to keep him away from your livestock in a separate area.
