Lagotto Romagnolo dogs have maintenance requirements, which mostly have something to do with coat care— these dogs need a lot of grooming. These pups are generally affectionate and dedicated to their people (including kids and pets), but they have the tendency to bark at people they don't know. Although it's an excellent trait for a watchdog, still consider redirecting and controlling their barking tendencies to teach them when it's okay to bark. Otherwise, they'll often bark, which may disturb you or the neighbors.
Companionship is necessary. Leaving them alone for long hours, as well as letting them spend most of the time outdoors, is discouraged. Otherwise, they may display many unwanted behaviors.
These easygoing but active pups make excellent pets for families that have a moderate experience level. Take note that socialization training must start at the soonest time possible so that they grow up well-behaved around people/pets they meet.
Your local veterinarian Washington DC is a valuable resource when it comes to issues that affect your pet’s health and well-being.
