Standard Telomian Obedience Tips
Training has to be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your Telomian. If you are not in the best mood for training, do not even think of starting. Always commend the Telomian for following your commands precisely! A reward is anything that your Telomian wants and is happy to earn. Edible treats are the usual reward but different prizes could be verbalized admiration and playthings. Many brief sessions are typically more effective than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading components or punishment. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training opportunity is to be pleasant and confidence-building with praise for each job well done.
Training Telomians with head collars
Yanking the leash is one of the few unpleasant requirements of training a new Telomian puppy. Using a head collar for Telomian training has become very popular during the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. Although quite easy to utilize, it is vital that head collars are fit correctly and your Telomian systematically introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very effective when guiding Telomians in tricky situations.
