Papillons are a dedicated and very affectionate dog breed, and they are pretty quick when it comes to absorbing training. Among the European aristocracy, which happened to be its early fans, it was known as the Butterfly Dog (for the pattern on its head, and the shape of its ears) or as the Squirrel Spaniel (for the shape of its tail). Indeed, so cherished was this talented breed that it was the star of many Italian frescoes during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. The Papillon of average health reached fourteen to sixteen years of age.

With regard to Papillon training, the same universal principle applies: the sooner the dog's training is started, the easier the training would be, and the sooner the negative issues are preempted.

Respect Training

If an owner does send the dog the message that he or she is the dog's alpha, then the dog is prone to trying to grab that position itself. The dog-lifestyle idea of 搉othing in life is free?is one specific way of teaching a dog that it has to work for what it wants, and that it has a role in the house.

Rewarding and encouraging positive behavior?will also need to be the norm, instead of disciplining negative behavior. With that, the dog will learn to keep the good working coming.

House Breaking

Papillon puppies will need around eight months from the start of training to get housebroken. But even when it is finished, owners will need to muster all the patience they can to understand the dog's instinct. Besides, the internal organs of the dog take time being accurate in telling the dog when to "go."

Socialization

Socializing your dog is a top Papillon training issue. To show how important it is, Papillons that are not socialized from an early age end up timid and skittish. Regular exposure to people - sometimes, five different places per week if the dog is way too shy - usually works wonders. But socializing with pets is also important, and dogs that grow up in the company of cats generally mature into good companions for them.
