General Tibetan Terrier Obedience Tips

Training needs to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for both you and the Tibetan Terrier. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even start. Always reward the Tibetan Terrier for heeding your commands to the letter! A prize is anything that your Tibetan Terrier wants and is happy to earn. Food is a great prize but different rewards could be verbal admiration and playthings. Many brief sessions are demonstrated to be better than a long one. Training shouldn’t contain any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no chain jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every training session needs to be pleasant and reinforcing with rewards for a job well done.

Using a head collar for Tibetan Terrier training has become very popular throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. While quite simple to use, it’s vital that head collars are fit properly and your Tibetan Terrier gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when controlling Tibetan Terriers in tricky situations.
