Basic Kuri Obedience Tips
Training must be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and the Kuri. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, do not even think of starting. Always commend the Kuri for obeying your commands to the tee! A treat is anything that your Kuri wants and is happy to work for. Food is an obvious reward but different rewards could be verbalized praise and playthings. Several brief training sessions are much more effective than a single long one. Training should not contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every training session is to be pleasant and reinforcing with treats for a job well done.
Training Kuris with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few displeasing tasks of raising a new Kuri puppy. Using a head collar for Kuri training has become very popular throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the traditional training collar. Although very easy to use, it is imperative that head collars are fitted correctly and your Kuri properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than a standard training collar. Head collars are very effective when training Kuris in difficult situations.
