Frequently Asked Questions
Most companion dogs are eager to learn and adaptable. Poodles are even among the most intelligent dog breeds. However, some smaller companions like the Chihuahua can be stubborn and need consistent, loving training.
Companion dogs are designed for closeness to their people and don't like being alone. With gradual training, most can learn to stay alone for 4-5 hours. For working professionals with long hours, companion dogs are therefore only conditionally suitable.
