Basic Puli Obedience Tips
Training has to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Puli. If you’re not in the best mood for training, don’t even start. Always treat your Puli for heeding your commands to the tee! A treat is anything that your Puli wants and is happy to earn. Snacks are an obvious prize but different treats could be verbalized praise and playthings. Several brief sessions are typically more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training session must be enjoyable and reinforcing with praise for jobs well done.
Training Pulis with head collars
Yanking the lead is one of the few displeasing requirements of training a new Puli puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Puli training has become standard in the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the usual training collar. Though it’s quite easy to use, it is imperative that head collars are fitted correctly and your Puli correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are very effective when guiding Pulis in tricky situations.
