General Kai Ken Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for both you and your Kai Ken. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, don’t even start. Always treat the Kai Ken for following your orders promptly! A prize is anything that your Kai Ken desires and is happy to earn. Food is an obvious reward but other treats could be verbal commendation and toys. Several brief sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training session should be enjoyed and confidence-building with treats for jobs well done.

Although quite simple to use, it is imperative that head collars are fit correctly and your Kai Ken correctly introduced to the collar.
