General German Spitz Obedience Tips
Training needs to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and the German Spitz. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even start. Always treat your German Spitz for listening to your commands expeditiously! A prize is anything that your German Spitz wants and is willing to earn. Food is the usual reward but other rewards could be oral praise and playthings. Several shorter sessions are typically more effective than a long one. Training shouldn’t contain any negative comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Each training opportunity needs to be enjoyed and positive with rewards for a job well done.

Yanking the leash is one of the few displeasing tasks of training a new German Spitz puppy. Utilizing a head collar for German Spitz training has become standard throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the standard training collar. Although very easy to use, it’s important that head collars are fitted correctly and your German Spitz correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when controlling German Spitzs in difficult situations.
