How to Train your ITALIAN POINTING DOG

Training Your Italian Pointing Dog

The Bracco Italiano is a large, heavily built pointing dog from Italy. They are incredibly rugged, highly intelligent, and deeply affectionate.

Key Training Tips:

• Gentle Motivation: Despite their robust appearance, they are sensitive to their handler’s mood. Use enthusiastic praise and positive reinforcement exclusively.
• Field Training: They possess phenomenal natural hunting instincts. Engage them in scent work, tracking, and retrieving to satisfy their genetic drive.

They are calm, highly devoted family dogs when their massive exercise needs are met.
