How to Train your ITALIAN ROUGH-HAIRED SEGUGIO

Training Your Italian Rough-Haired Segugio

The Segugio Italiano a Pelo Forte is a rugged, wire-haired scenthound from Italy. They are incredibly tough, fiercely driven, and highly independent hunters.

Key Training Tips:

• Scent Distraction: When their nose hits the ground, their ears turn off completely. They must be kept in securely fenced areas or on a leash at all times outdoors.
• Firm Consistency: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as independent hunters. Establish yourself as a firm, consistent leader using reward-based training.

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