　　Whether a dog is attractive depends not only on a pretty and cute appearance but also greatly on its usual behavior. Even if a dog looks good, if its behavior is rough, it barks loudly at every chance, or even actively attacks others, then few people would like such a dog. Therefore, owners must regulate their dog's behavior, and strict training is necessary so that the dog can become more gentlemanly after good training.

　　First, to be a gentlemanly dog, it must not have an overly anxious or easily startled temperament. Dogs tend to be sensitive and unfriendly toward strangers mostly because they are unfamiliar with them. A dog that rarely interacts with people will be under great pressure when suddenly meeting many strangers. Therefore, owners should train their dogs regularly. When unfamiliar people visit the home, don’t let the dog hide in a corner. Instead, we can take it out and let it communicate and interact with the strangers so that the dog knows not all strangers are dangerous and that most people mean no harm. If the dog seems too nervous, the owner should comfort it to prevent biting due to stress.

　　Besides eliminating the dog's unease, having good obedience is also a very important task. A correct hierarchy concept must be established first, which requires proper training by the owner. Getting the dog to obey commands takes time, and during training, the right balance between reward and punishment must be maintained. If the dog disobeys, it must be corrected immediately and not after some time has passed, as delayed criticism will confuse the dog. If the dog behaves well, timely rewards should be given to motivate it further.

　　Good social interaction with other dogs also reflects a dog's gentlemanly nature. When a dog meets other dogs for the first time, it must be properly leashed. If the dog shows aggression, the owner must restrain it. After controlling the dog, we can let the dogs gradually get familiar with each other. Once they start lowering their guard, we can relax the leash somewhat. When the dogs understand each other and show no signs of aggression, they can be allowed to stay together and play.
