His active and playful nature means he needs enough exercise to stay happy and healthy. Despite his need for activity, he can also enjoy quiet moments and is quite willing to sit on your lap for a cuddle. The Bolognese does not have a strong hunting instinct, but often shows a certain interest in moving objects, which is a sign could indicate easy prey catching behavior. He is capable of staying alone but should not be isolated for long periods as he is very people-oriented and highly values his owner's company. Training this dog is relatively easy as it is very trainable and willing to please its owner. However, it's important that you be consistent, patient, and use positive reinforcement methods to get the most out of his training.

Bolognese are intelligent dogs that are relatively easy to train. They are eager to please and respond well to positive reinforcement and reward-based training. They are ideal for dog sports such as agility and obedience. It is important to provide them with mental stimulation and activity to prevent boredom and problem behavior. There is a risk that they will become “ball junkies” if they spend too much time playing ball, so it's important to offer them a variety of activities and games. Because of their strong bond with their people, Bolognese dogs can sometimes develop separation anxiety. It is therefore important to teach them to be alone and learn frustration tolerance and impulse control.

Bolognese require a balanced diet that contains high-quality protein, fat and complex carbohydrates. You benefit from smaller, regular meals to maintain a healthy weight. Some Bolognese are prone to obesity, so it is important to monitor their weight and food intake. Grooming a Bolognese is a little more labor-intensive than other breeds due to their long, fluffy coat. They have no undercoat, which means they don't shed as much as other breeds. Their fur needs to be brushed regularly to prevent matting. They cope well with the climate in Germany, but can benefit from a coat in the cold winter months.
