Basic Thai Ridgeback Obedience Tips

Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable situation for both you and the Thai Ridgeback. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even think of beginning. Always reward your Thai Ridgeback for obeying your commands expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Thai Ridgeback wants and is willing to earn. Edible treats are a great reward but other treats could be verbalized commendation and playthings. Multiple brief training sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every training session should be enjoyable and positive with prizes for each job well done.
