All About Training Irish Setter Dogs and Puppies

Irish Setter dogs are highly intelligent creatures that also tend to be strong willed and somewhat stubborn. They are very fast learners, and they tend to do very well with obedience training.

It's best to start training Irish Setters when they are very young. If training doesn't start soon enough, your Irish Setter may pick up environmental cues that can lead to the development of bad habits. It's much better, for you and for your pet, to teach your Irish Setter good habits before negative behaviors begin to develop.

As with any dog breed, early and consistent obedience training is a must for the Irish Setter. Obedience training Irish Setters helps ensure that you have a well-behaved, amiable pet who will provide your family with fun and recreation, rather than knock down toddlers and any household knicknacks that get in it's way. Irish Setters are "party dogs" - they love to romp and frolick with great gusto. This tendency, although endearing, needs to be kept in check for the good of small children, visitors, your panty hose, etc.

Although not the most popular of hunting dogs, Irish Setters are an enthusiastic and tireless hunting breed - a great choice for waterfowl hunting enthusiasts. They have a keen nose, boundless energy, lightning fast speed, and intelligence to spare. Irish Setters are an excellent choice for a family who wants a companion that can be happy in the field - and in the home.
