Generally speaking, if conditions permit, it is best to keep Papillon dogs indoors. Regardless of the size or breed of Papillon, there are two main reasons:

1. Raising Papillon Dogs indoors is first based on the health issues of Papillon Dogs. It is often windy, rainy, snowy or exposed to the sun outdoors, there are drastic changes in temperature, humidity, etc., there are also various noises, cats or other animals often appear, etc. Putting Papillon dogs in such an environment is an important reason for Papillon dogs to suffer from diseases. In seasons when there are many mosquitoes, outdoor breeding is a major cause of filariasis in Papillon dogs. In addition, outdoor breeding is also prone to other parasitic diseases such as fleas and ticks. Diseases caused by parasites and skin diseases caused by mosquito bites are often seen in Papillon dogs raised outdoors.

Let’s take an example of a rainy day: On a rainy day, if you keep a butterfly dog ​​outdoors, the butterfly dog ​​will definitely get wet, its body will be splashed with mud and water, and its body hair will become dirty. People generally ignore it. If this situation occurs in winter, the dog's body temperature will of course drop and its resistance will weaken. If the dog's nutritional status is poor, it will contract pneumonia; in severely cold places, it may even freeze to death. If the body hair is often wet during the moulting period in early spring, it will cause an acute eczema skin disease. If in mid-summer, the hair is all stuck together and moisture and body temperature cannot escape, which may induce heat reflex disease. In addition, the moist body, dirty body hair, and high temperature become a breeding ground for fleas and create favorable conditions for parasites to survive in the body.

2. There is another reason why it is recommended to raise the dog indoors: while it is convenient for domestication, it can also make the butterfly dog ​​a member of the family and strengthen the relationship between them. If raised outdoors, the owner must go to the place where the Papillon is in person to see the Papillon. In addition, if the Papillon really does something it "shouldn't do", it cannot be stopped because the owner is not around. Papillon dogs are different from people. Papillon dogs cannot understand if you tell them after they have done something they "shouldn't do". But tell it the moment it starts doing it, and it will understand. For example, the so-called training, reprimanding the dog after it has done bad things will only increase the dog's distrust of the owner, but will not end the dog's bad behavior.

This is the reason why there is a gap between Papillon dogs and people. In this regard, Papillon dogs raised indoors are usually around people. When it wants to do something bad, give it a little guidance and it will understand. In addition, it is easy to master the habits of Papillon dogs by being with them from morning to night. This is of great help in training Papillon dogs. And the condition of Papillon dogs can be detected early.
