Basic Great Dane Obedience Tips
Training has to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Great Dane. If you are not in the best mindset for training, don’t even think of beginning. Always commend your Great Dane for following your orders to the letter! A reward is anything that your Great Dane desires and is happy to earn. Edible treats are the typical prize but different treats could be verbal praise and toys. Many shorter sessions are usually more effective than a long one. Training must not contain any negative comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no chain jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity must be enjoyed and reinforcing with rewards for a job well done.
