General Burgos Pointer Obedience Tips

Training must be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and the Burgos Pointer. If you are not in the best mindset for training, do not even start. Always reward the Burgos Pointer for listening to your orders expeditiously! A treat is anything that your Burgos Pointer wants and is willing to earn. Snacks are the usual reward but different prizes could be verbalized praise and toys. Multiple shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be better than a single long one. Training must not contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training opportunity needs to be enjoyed and reinforcing with praise for jobs well done.
