What Counts as a Well-Behaved Papillon
Often seen are Papillons that require their owners to chase after them in the park, shouting loudly, or Papillons snarling at strangers in public places, as well as Papillons jumping up and down in the living room, making it impossible for their owners to have a proper conversation with guests... These are all ill-mannered Papillons whose behavior inadvertently reveals their owners’ level. If you see a priceless but unruly Papillon in someone's home, that owner is definitely not worthy of your high regard.
How can you make your Papillon show a respectable demeanor? Of course, this comes from regular training, but at the very least, you should evaluate your Papillon on the following aspects:
First, the Papillon should obediently and accurately follow every command you give. These commands should at least include "sit," "lie down," "stay," "come," "go play by yourself," and so on.
Second, the Papillon should show enough patience and friendliness toward your guests and strangers—of course, not intruders. While you are talking with others, the Papillon should quietly sit or lie down at your feet until the conversation ends, rather than restlessly moving about or even trying to pull you away.
Third, when encountering other dogs, your Papillon should be able to get along with them calmly and friendly, rather than displaying intense aggression or fear and withdrawal like some Papillons do.
Fourth, when taking your Papillon on the street, a well-trained Papillon should walk calmly among people and traffic, just as it does in your garden or downstairs, poised yet politely curious about its surroundings.
Fifth, your Papillon should not overreact to sudden events nearby. It can show curiosity and a desire to investigate but must not appear nervous, scared, or reflexively aggressive.
