Standard Standard Schnauzer Obedience Tips

Training has to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for both you and your Standard Schnauzer. If you are not in the best mindset for training, do not even start. Always reward the Standard Schnauzer for following your orders exactly! A treat is anything that your Standard Schnauzer desires and is willing to earn. Snacks are the typical reward but different rewards could be verbalized praise and playthings. Many brief sessions are much better than 1 long one. Training must not contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity must be pleasant and positive with treats for jobs well done.
