#10 A Lhasa Apso will remember exceptions to the rule and will insist on them going forward.
Keep that in mind before you surreptitiously slip him a morsel from your plate with the thought “just this once” for the first time. He will insist again and again!
#11 Convince the lion dog of your upbringing goals – you will never experience slavish submissiveness with this proud breed.
But mutual respect is a cornerstone of the upbringing of this headstrong four-legged friend - then he will be happy to cooperate.
#12 The best way to motivate this dog is to give praise in the right place.
Because the Lhasa Apso can be a recluse, it's best to take him to regular dog school. This supports good socialization and also enables potential friendships to be made with other dogs.
