Standard Irish Terrier Obedience Tips
Training should be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and your Irish Terrier. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even think of beginning. Always treat the Irish Terrier for heeding your orders to the letter! A reward is anything that your Irish Terrier wants and is willing to work for. Snacks are a great reward but different treats could be verbal admiration and playthings. Many brief training sessions are much better than 1 long one. Training must not involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training session must be pleasant and positive with praise for jobs well done.
