General Dalmatian Obedience Tips
Training has to be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and your Dalmatian. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even begin. Always commend the Dalmatian for obeying your orders exactly! A prize is anything that your Dalmatian desires and is willing to earn. Snacks are an obvious reward but other prizes could be oral praise and playthings. Multiple brief sessions are usually more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. 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 should be pleasant and positive with prizes for a job well done.
Training Dalmatians with head collars
Yanking the leash is one of the few displeasing requirements of training a new Dalmatian puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Dalmatian training has become standard during the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the regular training collar. Even though it is quite simple to utilize, it is imperative that head collars are fitted properly and your Dalmatian correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are usually more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very effective when training Dalmatians in tricky situations.
