Obedience and the Coton de Tulear
Participating in Obedience with your CasaBlanca Coton
Obedience training begins the moment you take your puppy
home. We request that all new family owners take their
CasaBlanca coton puppy to a puppy training class so that
both the owner and the puppy can learn to learn. ALL
Cotons learn best with positive reinforcement. We prefer
clicker training.
Many new owners are amazed at the ability of their Coton to learn, some will earnestly tell you that their Coton is smarter than your honor student!
In obedience, the dogs are trained to "heel" (walk quietly along side their handler) on and off lead, "sit"," stay","down" and "come". Once your dog has mastered these basic skills, you will compete against other dog/handler teams to see how well you perform these exercises and are scored accordingly.
There are several "levels' of obedience, ranging from the basics as described above, going all the way to scent work where the dog sniffs out an item you held and placed among other like items to even tracking!
Whether you intend to compete or not, obedience training just makes for a better canine companion in all situations.
Many of our Cotons are certified Canine Good Citizens, and we will be happy to show you how you can get your CasaBlanca Coton certified!

Look at JoJo's expressions and you can see
just how much fun he is having showing off his
new articles for obedience class.
