Are Coton de Tulears easy to train?

Yes, Coton de Tulears are easy to train because of their intelligence, eagerness to engage, and strong desire to bond with their pet parents. However, t raining any dog takes substantial time and effort, regardless of breed.

Cotons particularly excel in canine freestyle, a creative and expressive activity that combines training with tricks and dance routines set to music. Their playful and energetic personality, along with their capacity to learn complex sequences, makes them great participants in this discipline. 

Their social and affectionate nature makes them highly responsive to positive reinforcement training, which involves rewarding desired behaviors with treats, toys, or play. Using toys and treats as rewards not only makes training sessions fun and engaging but also helps to maintain the pup’s motivation and focus. This approach builds a positive relationship between the dog and pet parent, fostering trust and cooperation, and making the training process more enjoyable and successful for both.
