Basic White Shepherd Obedience Tips

Training must be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your White Shepherd. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, don’t even think of starting. Always treat your White Shepherd for listening to your orders to the tee! A treat is anything that your White Shepherd wants and is willing to earn. Food is an obvious reward but different rewards could be oral admiration and playthings. Several shorter training sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training session should be enjoyable and reinforcing with rewards for a job well done.
