Basic Dutch Smoushond Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable situation for both you and your Dutch Smoushond. If you are not in the right mood for training, do not even think of beginning. Always treat the Dutch Smoushond for obeying your commands exactly! A prize is anything that your Dutch Smoushond desires and is willing to earn. Snacks are a great reward but different treats could be verbal admiration and playthings. Many shorter sessions are typically more effective than a long one. Training mustn’t contain any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain yanking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training session should be enjoyed and positive with praise for jobs well done.
