How to Train your ITALIAN SHORT-HAIRED SEGUGIO

Training Your Italian Short-Haired Segugio

The Segugio Italiano a Pelo Raso is a sleek, highly athletic, and incredibly fast scenthound from Italy. They are highly intelligent but intensely independent.

Key Training Tips:

• Vigorous Exercise: They require massive amounts of running to burn off their hunting energy. A tired hound is a calm, trainable hound inside the house.
• Leash Walking: They are powerful pullers when tracking a scent. Flawless loose-leash walking must be mastered early to maintain control.

They are deeply devoted family dogs that respond terribly to harshness; use only positive reinforcement.
