With their territorial nature, Entlebuchers bark at guests and strangers and tend to be aloof around them. Thus, early socialization is essential to teach them to behave well towards their fellow pups and other people. They're children-friendly, but their rambunctiousness may be too much for small kids. Their herding instinct may also cause them to nip at children's heels.
Generally, Entlebuchers are smart, personable, agile, and loyal. Despite their independence, they are very affectionate and clingy to their people. With a lot of energy inside them, Entlebuchers are best to be with owners who are capable of providing them with 1-hour vigorous daily exercise. This may include herding, joining dog sports/competitions, frisbee, tracking, and agility. As working dogs, they should be constantly occupied, so early training is essential— perhaps, make them your little assistant on your daily household chores or any other useful stuff to do.
