Disposition:
The Spinone Italiano is very intelligent, loyal, playful, and enthusiastic. He is easily trained as long as the training does not get too repetitive and bore him. The training should start at an early age to keep this rather large dog from doing any inadvertent damage. This breed should also be well socialized with other dogs and many people as some tend to be shy. These dogs definitely are not for protection because they are too friendly. They would much rather play with their family than bark at strangers.
Activity Level:
The Spinone Italiano is not very active while indoors, but gets very excited outdoors. A medium backyard/garden is recommended with a high fence as these dogs can jump very high when they want to. Apartments would be fine for this breed, assuming they get enough exercise outside.
