General Blue Lacy Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and your Blue Lacy. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even start. Always commend the Blue Lacy for obeying your orders expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Blue Lacy wants and is happy to earn. Edible treats are the expected prize but other prizes could be verbalized commendation and playthings. Several shorter training sessions are typically better than a long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training session needs to be pleasant and confidence-building with treats for each job well done.

Training Blue Lacys with head collars

Dragging the leash is one of the few displeasing requirements of training a new Blue Lacy puppy. Using a head collar for Blue Lacy training has become standard over the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the standard training collar. Although quite simple to utilize, it’s vital that head collars are fitted properly and your Blue Lacy properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more easy to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are very effective when guiding Blue Lacys in difficult situations.
