Basic Laekenois Obedience Tips

Training has to be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your Laekenois. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, do not even think of beginning. Always treat your Laekenois for following your commands expediently! A treat is anything that your Laekenois desires and is willing to work for. Snacks are the usual reward but other treats could be oral praise and playthings. Many brief training sessions are typically better than a long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no chain yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and reinforcing with treats for jobs well done.
