How to Train your DEERHOUND

Training Your Scottish Deerhound

The Scottish Deerhound is a giant, highly dignified sight-hound bred to hunt large game. They are calm, polite, and deeply affectionate indoors.

Key Training Tips:

• Leash Safety: Despite their lazy indoor demeanor, they will chase running animals at incredible speeds. They must always be leashed in unsecured areas.
• Gentle Handling: They are highly sensitive giants. Harsh training will ruin your bond; use exclusively positive, reward-based methods.
• Protect Their Growth: Because they grow so massively, avoid strenuous exercise or forced running during their first year to protect their joints.

They are exceptionally sweet-tempered, quiet companions that require an owner who understands the needs of giant sight-hounds.
