Pyrs are very different dogs than borders opposite really.A pyr was bred to be agressive when they thought it was needed,while a border has always been bred for very controlled agression.Pyrs worked independantly while borders worked with the shepherd.I have about eight pyrs that board regularly and have fostered four.They have all been very dominant dogs,they think for themselves.I would recommend get in touch with either a breeder or the breed club for either a trainer or help in training your pyr,the herd guards tend to be pretty independant and can be a little tougher than many other breeds because of the specialized use they were developed for and also because many are still used in those roles many lines are bred to be independantly agressive.
