How to Train your ESTONIAN HOUND

Training Your Estonian Hound

The Eesti Hagijas is a robust, highly resilient, and fiercely driven scenthound from Estonia. They possess immense stamina and a beautiful voice.

Key Training Tips:

• Scent Distraction: As a dedicated tracking hound, their nose rules their brain. Recall is often unreliable; always walk them on a leash or in a securely fenced area.
• 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.

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