You have to anticipate all kinds of problems - not only shyness and aggression, but also too much enthusiasm for example. It's important to teach the puppy that it has to be careful with too small or too old humans.
For me, the best training method is positive reinforcement. You have to be firm of course, but the positive principle works much better that punishment. If you want to forbid some behavior, you need to provide alternative also. You also have to remember that wolfdogs get bored easily, they tend to understand fast, but instead of doing what you want they tend to find ways how to do what they want. So motivation is very important too.

Thanks Saschia for these words , I only can agree !
And for me your words means also that a CsW needs a strict and an always very creative owner who likes (and can see) a lot of humor
