General Australian Terrier Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Australian Terrier. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even start. Always commend your Australian Terrier for obeying your orders to the letter! A treat is anything that your Australian Terrier desires and is willing to work for. Food is a great prize but different treats could be verbalized admiration and toys. Several shorter training sessions are usually more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every training opportunity must be enjoyable and confidence-building with prizes for a job well done.

Using a head collar for Australian Terrier training has become very popular during the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the usual training collar.
