However, this dog requires firm but loving handling as well as early socialization during puppyhood to counteract a tendency toward alienation and aggression towards other dogs. Experienced dog owners will find Canaan easy to train, but beginners can be kept busy. Having a confident attitude and the help of a good coach can make your journey easier. This intelligent dog responds best to motivational techniques such as food rewards, praise, and play. He quickly gets bored with repetitive workouts and needs a challenging and creative learning environment.
