Are Tibetan Spaniels smart?

Yes, Tibetan Spaniels are intelligent dogs. They are quick learners and can pick up commands and tricks relatively easily, thanks to their cleverness and curiosity. Their intelligence is often paired with an independent streak, so while they can learn well, they might occasionally show a bit of stubbornness or preference for doing things their own way.

Consistent, positive reinforcement methods work best with them, as they respond well to rewards and praise. Engaging them with interactive toys, mental stimulation, and varied training activities can help keep their minds sharp and satisfy their need for mental challenges.
