Training Your Portuguese Pointing Dog

The Perdigueiro Português is a highly energetic, brilliantly smart, and incredibly fast pointing dog. They are sensitive, eager to please, and highly trainable.

Key Training Tips:

• Positive Reinforcement: They are emotionally sensitive and will shut down completely if scolded harshly. Use enthusiastic praise and upbeat training methods.
