Hi guys I need some info on papillions, one that can't be let off lead I have no knowledge of the breed and so am asking for anyone who has (I am assuming this is just a normal recall problem :? )
I copied this from the breed link here on the forum, Hth Basic obedience training should be commenced with the puppy as soon as possible. The Papillon is a highly intelligent dog who learns quickly and is keen to please. All training should be based on positive methods which reward wanted behaviours with treats and praise. Harsh physical or verbal corrections should never be used as such methods will frighten and confuse him thus eroding the bonds of trust, respect and affection which are the cornerstones of successful training. Papillons trained with gentle firmness, patience and consistency have distinguished themselves at the highest levels of competition obedience. Socialization should also start in early puppyhood. By introducing the pup to various people, animals, sights, noises and situations the foundations are laid for a friendly, confident, well-mannered and level-headed adult. xxdk
Thans for that been searching the net and their is soo much I train my dogs and was spotted doing recall work with them and the owner has asked me if I would point them in the right direction All I have said so far is this............. "Work out the highest value treat to your dog and onlyever give that treat for a recall " - the reply I got was ooohh because of her being a papillion we can't give her treats So I'm a bit confused
I have one, she is 15 yrs now. I had her at 6yrs and she was fine off the lead, a little "deaf" at times but nothing serious and I never had issues with getting her back. Paps are smart Dogs, they learn quickly, if its lack of training, I think you would have little trouble getting the Dog to a reasonable recall standard.
because of her being a papillion we can't give her treats What a bizzare thing to say, mine has always had treats!
I found the info on here hun, under dog breeds , I dont know anything about thee breed im afraid xxdk
Ahh, so its just "this" Dog is it? I know they are not sensitive as a breed, this one of mine eats anything at all!
All I know is I love them but never had one. They are very smart and I think can be taught just about anything and yet they can certainly challenge you from what I hear.
That's very kind of you thank you for the offer I've done a load of research now on the net as well and what a smart cookie these dogs seem to be
