Basic Lakeland Terrier Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Lakeland Terrier. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even think of beginning. Always commend the Lakeland Terrier for heeding your commands precisely! A prize is anything that your Lakeland Terrier wants and is willing to earn. Food is the typical reward but other treats could be verbal commendation and playthings. Multiple brief training sessions are demonstrated to be better than one long one. Training must not contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training session should be enjoyed and reinforcing with praise for jobs well done.
