Standard Mcnab Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your Mcnab. If you are not in the right mood for training, do not even begin. Always reward your Mcnab for obeying your orders exactly! A reward is anything that your Mcnab desires and is happy to work for. Snacks are the usual reward but different treats could be verbal commendation and playthings. Several brief training sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity must be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for each job well done.

Training Mcnabs with head collars

Dragging the leash is one of the few negative tasks of bringing up a new Mcnab puppy. Using a head collar for Mcnab training has become very popular in the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. While very easy to use, it’s crucial that head collars are fitted properly and your Mcnab correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are usually more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are quite effective when training Mcnabs in difficult situations.
