ARE CANAAN DOGS EASY TO TRAIN?
Canaan Dogs are very intelligent and learn quickly and easily. Because of their innate cleanliness, housebreaking is seldom a problem. But because they learn so quickly they quickly bore with repetitive commands in formal obedience training. You must motivate them by challenging them with new tricks and varying routines. If you and your Canaan are well bonded and you use training methods tailored to your dog’s personality they can be very successfully trained for obedience and agility. In the U.S. several have also been certified for therapy dog work and a number have passed tracking trials.
