How to Train your OTTERHOUND

Training Your Otterhound

The Otterhound is a large, shaggy, and highly amiable scent hound with a famously boisterous personality and a massive, booming voice.

Key Training Tips:

• Scent Distractions: They have an incredibly powerful nose. Training requires extreme patience and highly valuable treats to keep their attention outdoors.
• Water Loving: They have webbed feet and love to swim. Incorporating water retrieval into their training is a fantastic way to burn energy.
• Patience is Key: They are clownish and slow to mature. Keep training sessions fun, brief, and completely devoid of harsh corrections.

They are deeply affectionate, goofy companions that require an owner who doesn’t mind a bit of drool and a lot of mud.
