Trainability

The Pharaoh Hound is an intelligent dog and therefore they are quite easy to train. However, because of their high prey drive, they are not the most obedient of hounds when it comes to the "recall" command which is why their training has to start early in their lives. Their training has to be consistent and always fair with these hounds not responding well to any sort of harsh correction or heavier handed training methods because like a lot of other hounds, they are quite sensitive by nature.

In the right hands and with the correct amount of training, Pharaoh Hounds excel in all sorts of canine sports and this includes activities like agility and obedience. It would be fair to say that at times these hounds are far too quick thinking for their own good which often sees them outsmarting their owners. This is one of the reasons they are not the best choice for novice dog owners who may inadvertently send a dog the wrong signals which they quickly pick up on and which could end up with a Pharaoh Hound becoming wilful and unruly.
