General Norwich Terrier Obedience Tips
Training has to be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and the Norwich Terrier. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, don’t even begin. Always treat your Norwich Terrier for obeying your commands expeditiously! A treat is anything that your Norwich Terrier desires and is happy to earn. Edible treats are a great prize but different treats could be oral commendation and toys. Several brief training sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than a single long one. Training should not involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training session needs to be pleasant and reinforcing with rewards for each job well done.

Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the regular training collar. Although very simple to use, it is vital that head collars are fit correctly and your Norwich Terrier systematically introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when controlling Norwich Terriers in difficult situations.
