The Coton de Tulear is an intelligent little dog and one that is always willing and eager to please an owner. As such, in the right hands they are very quick to learn new things. However, because they are a little sensitive by nature, they do not respond well to any sort of harsh correction or heavy handed training methods which could just result in them becoming shy and retiring. They do answer well to positive reinforcement when they training is consistent and always fair so these little dogs understand what is expected of them.
They adore playing interactive games which is a great way of teaching a dog to do new tricks especially when they are still young. Playtime can involve training which is an important part of a puppy’s initial education and something that Coties thoroughly enjoy.
