Are Feists easy to train?

Yes, Feists can be easy to train because they love to engage with their people and are highly motivated to learn. However, these spunky pups can quickly become bored with tasks that aren’t rewarding or exciting, so it’s best to incorporate plenty of variation, toys, treats, and games into training sessions to keep their interest in learning. 

For example, playing fetch as a reward for responding to a recall cue not only reinforces the recall and strengthens your relationship but also provides physical exercise. By making training sessions fun and rewarding with treats, toys, and games, Feist dogs are more likely to stay focused and eager to learn. Consistency, patience, creativity, and positive reinforcement are key to successfully training Feist dogs, ensuring they learn cues and behaviors while enjoying the process.
