Standard Chow Chow Obedience Tips

Training should be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and your Chow Chow. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even start. Always reward your Chow Chow for obeying your orders expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Chow Chow desires and is willing to work for. Food is the usual reward but other prizes could be oral admiration and toys. Several brief sessions are demonstrated to be better than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training session should be pleasant and confidence-building with rewards for each job well done.
