2. Training of the Basset Griffin Vendéen Dog

For young dogs, it is best to start training them from the 50th to 60th day after they are picked up. During this period, the puppies picked up are easiest to get along with their owners. But please note the following:

1. First you have to give your dog a name. At first, the dog may not be used to it. If you practice calling repeatedly, over time, the dog will become familiar with the call and know that the owner is calling it!

2. During training, the owner should pay attention to details and learn to use various passwords, such as sit, lie down, go, etc. The passwords should be clean and crisp, and the words should be pronounced clearly when calling.

3. The owner should train it strictly and must give clear rewards and punishments. Dogs are also emotional animals, and they are most sensitive to rewards or punishments from their owners. The owner can use food as a reward, or an action or language to stimulate the dog's enthusiasm, so as to better carry out the next step of training. When it performs well, the owner can pat it on the head and say "well done", and then reward it with some delicious food; if it makes a mistake, then it should be severely reprimanded and given a slight punishment, pretending to alienate it. !
