Standard Georgian Shepherd Obedience Tips

Training must be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and the Georgian Shepherd. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, do not even begin. Always treat the Georgian Shepherd for heeding your orders to the tee! A reward is anything that your Georgian Shepherd wants and is happy to work for. Edible treats are the typical reward but different treats could be verbal admiration and playthings. Many shorter training sessions are usually more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t contain any degrading components or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every training session is to be enjoyed and positive with treats for a job well done.

Training Georgian Shepherds with head collars

Dragging the leash is one of the few unpleasant tasks of training a new Georgian Shepherd puppy. Using a head collar for Georgian Shepherd training has become very popular throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the usual training collar. While very simple to use, it’s important that head collars are fitted properly and your Georgian Shepherd gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are usually more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when controlling Georgian Shepherds in tricky situations.
