This breed is easy to educate. The dog learns quickly and is happy to do things for its handler.

SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
The Polish Lowland Sheepdog is a breed that is excellent with children, dogs, and other pets. Visitors will be announced at the top of its voice.

EXERCISE
This dog's origins are as a working dog. Pre­viously it watched over the herds and flocks on the extensive Polish plains and it remains a herding dog in heart and mind. Consequently it is not a town dog which will be content with three little outings per day. Its brain needs stimulating with changes of scenery and preferably with something to do. Join a dog group where it can join in agility training, or fly-ball which are both activities it will relish.
