They are referred to a lot as being gentle giants. For this reason, if you want your Leonberger to be a watch dog, you will have to get them professional training. They are just too friendly natured to be good watch dogs naturally. If they are confronted and find themselves feeling threatened they will tend to walk away rather than showing aggression.
