Standard Welsh Terrier Obedience Tips

Training has to be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and the Welsh Terrier. If you are not in the best mindset for training, don’t even think of starting. Always treat your Welsh Terrier for listening to your orders to the tee! A treat is anything that your Welsh Terrier desires and is willing to earn. Snacks are the usual reward but other treats could be verbal praise and playthings. Multiple brief training sessions are usually better than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every single training opportunity must be enjoyable and reinforcing with prizes for a job well done.

Training Welsh Terriers with head collars

Yanking the lead is one of the few unpleasant experiences of bringing up a new Welsh Terrier puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Welsh Terrier training has become standard during the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the usual training collar. Even though it is very simple to use, it is imperative that head collars are fit properly and your Welsh Terrier gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more simple to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very effective when training Welsh Terriers in difficult situations.
