Be sure to train your dog before they come into the home so they know the boundaries of the house.

Yes, you can take your Cavalier King Charles for a run. However, you should keep in mind that Cavaliers are not a breed designed for exercise on a regular basis. Generally, these dogs do best with regular moderate walks. Going for a run is great to do now and then, but if it is done regularly, it could cause health problems for your Cavalier. Additionally, you should be aware of your dog's age and size when running--over-exercising and running too far can lead to an injury or exhaustion.

Training your Cavalier King Charles starts with establishing yourself as the pack leader. Do this by ensuring that all commands and expectations are followed and that the dog is aware that it cannot be the ruler of your family. Begin with positive reinforcement training with treats and verbal commands to help your dog associate behaviors with action. Start with basic commands such as sit and stay, and build up to more complicated ones from there. Be consistent and patient with your training. Regular training sessions are important, and it is best to set a schedule and stick to it.
