Standard Shiloh Shepherd Dog Obedience Tips

Training should be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and the Shiloh Shepherd Dog. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even think of starting.

Edible treats are the usual reward but other treats could be verbal admiration and toys. Several shorter sessions are much more effective than a single long one.

Every training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for a job well done.
