For your puppy's and your sanity's sake. Clearly communicated age-appropriate expectations for behavior, patient repetition, and ample positive reinforcement, are all that your dog needs to know in order to do what you expect of him. Griffons work very hard to please their owners, and a dog that understands what the rules are is a happier, more self confident dog who is a pleasure to be around. I n addition to basic obedience training and behavioral modification, it is important to encourage puppies to explore and exercise their innate hunting instincts. This instinct to hunt feather and fur are appropriately quite strong in Griffs, and households with cats or other small furry or feathered creatures are encouraged to be cautious and use good judgment when combining animals of different species in a household.
Griffons do, as a rule, get along well with other dogs of all breeds.
They are not known for instigating a problem, but will stand their ground if challenged. C areful and constructive exposure to water, birds, bumpers, fields with high grass and varied terrain, new places, whistles, guns, watching other dogs hunt, traveling in a crate, etc., at an early age, contribute greatly to the dogs success as a steady, enthusiastic hunting partner.
