General Finnish Lapphund Obedience Tips

Training has to be a pleasant and enjoyable situation for both you and the Finnish Lapphund. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, do not even start. Always treat the Finnish Lapphund for listening to your commands exactly! A reward is anything that your Finnish Lapphund desires and is happy to work for. Edible treats are an obvious reward but different treats could be verbal praise and playthings. Many brief sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no chain yanking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for jobs well done.

Training Finnish Lapphunds with head collars

Yanking the leash is one of the few displeasing tasks of training a new Finnish Lapphund puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Finnish Lapphund training has become standard during the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the traditional training collar. While very simple to utilize, it is crucial that head collars are fit properly and your Finnish Lapphund systematically introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more simple to use than a traditional training collar. Head collars are very effective when guiding Finnish Lapphunds in difficult situations.
