What are the challenges of Canaan Dogs?
Canaan Dogs are very smart, so much so that they can become bored with lots of routine. They enjoy mental stimulation and usually enjoy taking classes, such as agility, with their owners. It is very important to socialize a young Canaan Dog with a variety of new stimuli so they mature into even-tempered adults. More primitive individuals can be challenging to owners when they are asked to accept a new person or circumstance. Adolescent Canaan Dogs can be challenging, well, period. They like to challenge the rules and see what they can get away with! Adopting an older Canaan Dog can be challenging in its own right. Since Canaan Dogs develop a deep trusting bond, a dog who needs a new home must learn to trust someone new. This can be a hard transition for some dogs and requires a patient, understanding owner.
