Are Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens easy to train?

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens can be a bit challenging to train compared to some other breeds. They are intelligent and eager to please, but they also have a strong independent streak and can be somewhat stubborn. Their hunting background contributes to their high energy levels and curiosity, which can sometimes make them easily distracted.

To effectively train a PBGV, it’s important to use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats, praise, and play. Consistency, patience, and engaging training sessions will help in managing their occasional stubbornness. Socialization and early training are key to developing good behavior and ensuring they respond well to commands. Also keep in mind that training any dog takes substantial time and effort, regardless of breed.
