Basic Greenland Dog Obedience Tips

Training must be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and your Greenland Dog. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even start. Always reward the Greenland Dog for listening to your orders to the tee! A reward is anything that your Greenland Dog wants and is happy to work for. Edible treats are the typical prize but different treats could be oral admiration and playthings. Several brief training sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training mustn’t contain any negative comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training session is to be pleasant and confidence-building with praise for jobs well done.
