General Tyrolean Hound Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and the Tyrolean Hound. If you are not in the best mood for training, do not even begin. Always reward the Tyrolean Hound for heeding your commands exactly! A treat is anything that your Tyrolean Hound wants and is willing to work for. Food is a great reward but other treats could be oral praise and toys. Multiple shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be better than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training session must be enjoyable and confidence-building with rewards for each job well done.
