Jan, nice portraiture!  Does he like the color of red, too?  :D

Very little, it's not in a Kangals nature to listen and he's no trick dog, would be nice though if he would listen when called and stuff like that.
While not a dog suited for silly tricks, still good basic training is needed, otherwise you have a serious problem on your hands when you leave the house. Large dogs are often seen as a threat by people who are totally clueless about animal behavior (and that sadly includes many dog owners).
My 2c after living with 45Kg Ridgebacks for more than 15 years. They are not obedience dogs either, bred for independent action, just like Kangals.
Getting them to accept commands is work... needs lots of treats.

Your shot is so typical. That slightly annoyed look ;-)

cheers
