General Kanni Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for both you and your Kanni. If you are not in the right mood for training, don’t even begin. Always commend your Kanni for listening to your orders expediently! A treat is anything that your Kanni wants and is willing to work for. Edible treats are an obvious prize but different rewards could be verbal praise and playthings. Multiple shorter training sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t contain any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every single training session must be pleasant and reinforcing with treats for each job well done.

Training Kannis with head collars

Yanking the leash is one of the few unpleasant tasks of bringing up a new Kanni puppy. Using a head collar for Kanni training has become standard over the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the traditional training collar. Though it’s quite easy to use, it is important that head collars are fitted properly and your Kanni gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more intuitive to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are quite effective when guiding Kannis in tricky situations.
