Training needs to be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your Phalene. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, don’t even think of beginning.

Training mustn’t contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every single training session is to be enjoyable and positive with prizes for a job well done.

Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the usual training collar.
