General dog obedience tips

Training should be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. If you are

not in the right mood for training, don’t even begin. Always reward your dog for obeying your

commands promptly! A reward is anything that your dog wants and is willing to work for. Treats

are an obvious reward but other rewards could be verbal praise and toys. Several shorter

sessions are usually better than one long one. Training should not involve any negative

components or punishment . There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain

jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training session

should be enjoyable and positive with rewards for jobs well done.

Training with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few unpleasant experiences of bringing up a new puppy or dog.

Using a head collar for dog training has become very popular over the last few years. Training

with a head collar does have some advantages over the traditional training collar. Although

very simple to use, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your dog

properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than a

traditional training collar. Head collars are very effective when controlling dogs in difficult

situations.
Okay,thats it.Until Next Time.Take Care...
