General Japanese Spitz Obedience Tips

Training must be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Japanese Spitz. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, do not even think of beginning. Always commend your Japanese Spitz for obeying your orders to the letter! A reward is anything that your Japanese Spitz desires and is willing to earn. Food is an obvious prize but different treats could be oral praise and playthings. Several shorter training sessions are typically more effective than a single long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training session should be enjoyed and confidence-building with rewards for a job well done.

Training Japanese Spitzs with head collars

Yanking the leash is one of the few negative jobs of raising a new Japanese Spitz puppy. Using a head collar for Japanese Spitz training has become standard throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. Although very easy to use, it is crucial that head collars are fitted correctly and your Japanese Spitz systematically introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more simple to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are very powerful when training Japanese Spitzs in difficult situations.
