Training

Coton de Tulears are the most receptive to positive reinforcement training. Reinforce good behavior with incentives including food, attention, and playing. You and your dog are better off without the use of punishment or other harsh training methods.

Jump on it Quickly: When you bring home your Coton de Tulear puppy, training should start immediately. They need to be exposed to people at a young age and taught the basics of obedience.

Repetition and Consistency: Always use the same signals, directives, and expectations. Communicate your instructions verbally, and add hand signs if you choose. To ensure that your dog learns and remembers your orders, repetition is essential. Repeat brief training sessions many times a day to solidify what you've learned.

Sit, stay, come, and down are all good examples of basic obedience commands that you should teach your Coton de Tulear. These guidelines foster appropriate behavior by setting limits. As your dog learns more, you may raise the level of challenge and number of distractions.

Expose your Coton de Tulear early and often to a wide variety of people, other animals, and settings to help them adjust to and thrive in new circumstances. Set up supervised play sessions with other canine pals to help your dog adjust to new environments and stimuli.

By praise and treats, you may teach your Coton de Tulear to move around well when leashed. Start out by walking short distances with them and rewarding good behavior with goodies. Walking time and distance should be increased gradually to reinforce proper leash behavior.

Management of Problem Behavior: Use only positive, consistent training methods to deal with undesirable actions like excessive barking or separation anxiety. If you need help dealing with a particular behavioral issue, you should see a specialist.
