	Belgian Shepherd Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All are hard-working, intelligent dogs of the same general size and temperament.
		Belgian Shepherds are bred to be highly intelligent, alert and sensitive to everything going on around them, and to develop extremely strong relationship bonds.
		Belgian shepherds like to please, and can over-react badly to "negative" (punishment or deterrence based) training, so they should as a rule be clicker- or reward-trained only.
