How to Train your ITALIAN SPINONE

Training Your Spinone Italiano

The Spinone Italiano is a large, rugged pointing dog known for its docile, patient, and somewhat stubborn nature.

Key Training Tips:

• Patience Over Force: They are slow, methodical thinkers. Do not rush them. If you try to force them, they will simply refuse to move.
• Keep Sessions Fun: They have a great sense of humor but bore easily. Use highly valuable treats and keep training feeling like a game.
• Leash Training: They are very strong and tend to follow their noses. Loose-leash walking must be mastered early.

They are deeply affectionate family dogs that respond wonderfully to calm, positive encouragement.
