How to Train your XOLOITZCUINTLE

Training Your Xoloitzcuintle

The Xolo (Mexican Hairless Dog) is an ancient, highly primitive breed. They are brilliantly intelligent, deeply loyal, and naturally aloof with strangers.

Key Training Tips:

• Socialization is Mandatory: Because they possess primitive survival instincts, they are naturally highly cautious. Massive socialization is required to prevent fearfulness.
• Skin Care: The hairless variety requires regular bathing and skin protection (sunscreen and lotion). Train them early to tolerate this grooming.

They bond fiercely with their family and respond beautifully to calm, treat-based training.
