How to Train your GRIFFON NIVERNAIS

Training Your Brussels Griffon

The Brussels Griffon is a highly affectionate, somewhat demanding toy dog with a famously expressive, human-like face. They are smart but sensitive.

Key Training Tips:

• Gentle Corrections: They are deeply attached to their owners and highly sensitive to reprimands. Harsh training will break their spirit. Use only positive methods.
• Separation Anxiety: They are quintessential "velcro dogs." You must train them early to tolerate being alone for short periods to prevent severe anxiety.
• House-Training: They are notoriously stubborn when it comes to potty training. Consistent schedules and high-value rewards for outdoor success are mandatory.

They love learning tricks to impress their owners and make wonderful, intensely loyal lap dogs.
