Basic Tervuren Obedience Tips
Training should be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Tervuren. If you are not in the right mindset for training, do not even think of beginning. Always reward your Tervuren for following your orders expeditiously! A prize is anything that your Tervuren desires and is happy to work for. Edible treats are the typical reward but different treats could be oral admiration and playthings. Several shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than a long one. Training should not involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for jobs well done.
Training Tervurens with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few displeasing jobs of training a new Tervuren puppy. Using a head collar for Tervuren training has become standard in the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the regular training collar. Though it’s quite easy to use, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your Tervuren properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more simple to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are very powerful when guiding Tervurens in difficult situations.
