Standard Hovawart Obedience Tips
Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Hovawart. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even start. Always commend the Hovawart for following your orders to the letter! A treat is anything that your Hovawart wants and is willing to earn. Food is a great prize but different rewards could be oral praise and playthings. Many shorter sessions are usually more effective than a long one. Training should not contain any negative comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training session should be enjoyable and positive with prizes for each job well done.

Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the usual training collar. Though it’s very easy to utilize, it’s crucial that head collars are fit correctly and your Hovawart properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more intuitive to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are very powerful when controlling Hovawarts in tricky situations.
