Standard Belgian Shepherd Dog Obedience Tips

Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Belgian Shepherd Dog. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, don’t even start. Always treat the Belgian Shepherd Dog for obeying your commands exactly! A treat is anything that your Belgian Shepherd Dog wants and is willing to earn. Food is the usual reward but other treats could be verbal commendation and toys. Several shorter sessions are typically more effective than a long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity must be pleasant and positive with treats for a job well done.
