They are also patient, obedient, loyal,
intelligent, and easy to train. However, due to their size as adults, training should begin early while the dog is a manageable size since an unruly dog of this size can be dangerous and is hard to handle even for a strong adult. Teach it not to jump on humans starting as a puppy.
The Saint Bernard can make a good watchdog, and their size makes a good deterrent. This breed drools a lot; especially after eating or drinking. Saint Bernards were originally bred as rescue dogs working to save people from avalanches and therefore have a highly developed sense of smell. The Saint Bernard has also been known to be able to predict storms and avalanches possibly because of their ability to hear low-frequency sounds which humans can’t.
