Starting Training Early
Begin training as early as possible. Young animals learn fastest. Even mature Lausanne (Lykoi)s can learn new behaviors with patience.
Basic Commands
Start with sit, stay, come, and leave it. Use positive reinforcement — reward desired behaviors immediately with treats and praise.
House Training
Establish a consistent routine. Take your Lausanne (Lykoi) to the designated area after meals, naps, and play. Reward immediately for correct behavior.
Socialization
Expose your Lausanne (Lykoi) to various people, environments, and other animals early. Well-socialized pets are calmer and more adaptable.
Solving Behavioral Issues
Common issues: excessive barking/vocalizing, destructive behavior, aggression, and anxiety. Most are resolved with proper exercise, mental enrichment, and consistent training.
Advanced Training
Once basics are mastered, consider advanced training: agility, tricks, or therapy animal certification. Most Lausanne (Lykoi)s with their Loyal, Playful, Dog-like, Alert personality excel at enriching activities.
