Training should be a positive and enjoyable
experience for both you and your dog. If you are
not in the right mood for training, dont 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 collarsPulling 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.
