General Japanese Chin Obedience Tips
Training should be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and your Japanese Chin. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even think of starting. Always commend your Japanese Chin for following your orders expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Japanese Chin wants and is willing to earn. Food is a great reward but other rewards could be verbalized praise and playthings. Multiple brief sessions are typically better than one long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no chain yanking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training opportunity must be enjoyed and reinforcing with rewards for each job well done.
Training Japanese Chins with head collars
Dragging the leash is one of the few negative requirements of raising a new Japanese Chin puppy. Using a head collar for Japanese Chin training has become very popular during the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the regular training collar. While quite simple to use, it’s important that head collars are fit correctly and your Japanese Chin correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are very powerful when guiding Japanese Chins in difficult situations.
