Frequently Asked Questions

How can I effectively manage Rajapalayam's protective instincts?

While having a protective tendency might be advantageous, it's crucial to socialize them appropriately so they can differentiate between real threats and routine interactions. They can react correctly with the right training.

What is the most efficient way to train a Rajapalayam?

Consistency, encouragement, and patience are necessary for training Rajapalayams. If possible, sign them up for obedience lessons, and begin their training when they are young.

Are Rajapalayams known for their excessive barking?

While Rajapalayams can be noisy, excessive barking can often be reduced with training and the provision of mental stimulus to keep them engaged.
