Training Pulis

Big Dog | March 12th, 2009

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Puli is also a very intelligent dog breed. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Puli puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your Puli as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your Puli, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.

Although, the Puli is considered to be a Shepherd dog, it is also known as a Hungarian Water Dog. The plural form of the name is not Pulis as one would imagine, but Pulik….since it is a Hungarian word, and their plural forms differ vastly from those found in the English language.

The Acceptable Colors of Puli:

According to the breed standard, the Puli is always a solid color. It can come in the following colors: black, white, gray or a cream color. This cream color is referred to as “fako” in Hungarian. There is also a variation of the cream coat where the dog has a black mask. The most common solid colors are solid black and solid white.
