Training should be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and your Alpine Spaniel. If you are not in the best mindset for training, do not even think of starting. Always reward your Alpine Spaniel for following your orders to the letter! A reward is anything that your Alpine Spaniel wants and is willing to earn. Edible treats are the expected reward but other rewards could be verbal admiration and playthings. Many shorter sessions are usually better than 1 long one. Training mustn’t contain any negative comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no chain yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training opportunity should be enjoyed and reinforcing with prizes for jobs well done.
