The Lagotto Romagnolo is a happy and enthusiastic dog that can sometimes react a little withdrawn towards new people and experiences. It is extremely important that socialisation begins when the pups are still with the breeder. Pups must get used to all new situations and should be taken everywhere possible by their owners. Sometimes around the age of a year you may see a decline in behaviour and extra attention should again be given to socialisation. At approximately 2 years of age most dogs are stable and easy to handle.
As with all breeds it is important that the Lagotto knows who is the boss. The Lagotto is extremely energetic and needs more than an average amount of exercise. He loves to work for his boss, enjoys learning new things and will do anything for a treat. The Lagotto has a great “will to please”, is intelligent, manoeuvrable and quick making them perfect for many different dog activities. Whether it be obedience, searching, fly-ball or agility the Lagotto will take part with much enthusiasm. Swimming is a favourite hobby for most Lagotti.
