Are Coton de Tulears good with other dogs?
Yes, Coton de Tulears are good with other dogs, especially when they feel safe and confident. When introducing a Coton to other dogs, it’s important to do so gradually, in a controlled environment, and at a distance where both dogs feel comfortable. Start with short, supervised meetings in a neutral territory, such as a park or a fenced-in yard. Keep the initial interactions positive by using treats and praise to reward calm and friendly behavior. Pay attention to body language, and if either dog shows signs of discomfort or defensiveness, calmly separate them and try again later.
Consistent positive experiences with other dogs from an early age will help your Coton develop into a well-adjusted and socialized companion, capable of engaging with dogs of all shapes and sizes throughout their life.
