If you are thinking about adding a Papillon to your family, you will want to learn all you can about the Papillon Personality. The Papillon is one of the most intelligent and easily trainable dogs of the toy breeds. They are very active and excitable, yet will listen to commands and pay attention during training sessions. Training should be held in a place that is free from a lot of distractions; although they are intelligent and easily trainable a lot of distractions can make them want to play rather than learn.
They are true lap dogs that will love to sit with you and cuddle while you watch a TV show. They are also very loyal and will follow their owner around the house just to be close to them. Papillons also love to keep you company on car rides.
The Papillon is a breed that craves attention and acceptance from their owners. Papillons are polite to people they don't recognize, they are not known to be aggressive. They are small and fragile little dogs that won't mind stepping in front of you as you walk through the room. You will have to watch out for your Papillon and get used to walking around them so you don't step on them.
