Standard Russian Toy Obedience Tips

Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Russian Toy. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even begin. Always treat your Russian Toy for following your commands expeditiously! A prize is anything that your Russian Toy wants and is willing to work for. Food is the expected prize but other rewards could be verbal commendation and playthings. Several brief sessions are much better than a single long one. Training should not involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no chain jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for jobs well done.

Training Russian Toys with head collars

Dragging the leash is one of the few displeasing tasks of training a new Russian Toy puppy. Using a head collar for Russian Toy training has become standard throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the regular training collar. While quite easy to use, it is vital that head collars are fit correctly and your Russian Toy correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are usually more simple to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very powerful when guiding Russian Toys in difficult situations.
