Basic Stabyhoun Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and the Stabyhoun. If you’re not in the best mood for training, don’t even start. Always commend your Stabyhoun for obeying your commands exactly! A prize is anything that your Stabyhoun desires and is happy to work for. Food is a great prize but different prizes could be verbal commendation and playthings. Multiple shorter training sessions are typically more effective than a long one. Training shouldn’t contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no chain yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training opportunity must be enjoyable and positive with treats for each job well done.
