How to Train your GRAND GRIFFON VENDEEN

Training Your Grand Griffon Vendeen

The Grand Griffon Vendéen is a massive, wire-haired scenthound from France, bred to hunt wolves and boars. They are fiercely courageous and notoriously stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Firm Leadership: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as independent hunters. Establish yourself as a firm, consistent leader using reward-based training.
• Vigorous Exercise: They require massive amounts of running in dense cover. A tired hound is a calm, trainable hound inside the house.

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