Standard Huntaway Obedience Tips
Training has to be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and the Huntaway. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even begin. Always reward the Huntaway for following your commands precisely! A treat is anything that your Huntaway wants and is happy to work for. Edible treats are the expected prize but other treats could be oral commendation and playthings. Many shorter training sessions are usually better than 1 long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading components or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no chain jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training opportunity must be enjoyable and reinforcing with praise for jobs well done.
Training Huntaways with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few unpleasant requirements of training a new Huntaway puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Huntaway training has become standard over the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. Even though it is very simple to utilize, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your Huntaway gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more easy to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Huntaways in difficult situations.
