How to Train your SWEDISH VALLHUND

Training Your Swedish Vallhund

The Swedish Vallhund is a rugged, energetic herding dog. They are highly intelligent, eager to work, and excel in obedience and herding trials.

Key Training Tips:

• Herding Instincts: Like Corgis, they may try to herd running children by nipping at their heels. Redirect this behavior immediately using toys.
• Vocal Dogs: They are very vocal and love to bark. You must teach them when it is appropriate to sound the alarm and when to be quiet.
• Give Them a Job: They thrive on mental challenges. Teach them to fetch specific items or navigate agility courses to keep them satisfied.

They are highly trainable and form a deeply loyal bond with owners who provide consistent, active leadership.
