How to Train your ISTRIAN WIRE-HAIRED HOUND

Training Your Istrian Wire-Haired Hound

Similar to the short-haired variety, this rugged, wire-haired hound is bred to hunt in brutal terrain. They are incredibly tough and fiercely driven.

Key Training Tips:

• Prey Drive: They will chase and dispatch prey relentlessly. Flawless recall is difficult, and they must be strictly managed in open areas.
• Patience is Required: They are independent thinkers and like to evaluate commands before obeying. Use immense patience and highly valuable treats.

They are serious working dogs that demand a highly active, experienced hunting home.
