General Pekingese Obedience Tips
Training must be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and your Pekingese. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even start. Always treat your Pekingese for obeying your commands expediently! A prize is anything that your Pekingese wants and is willing to earn. Edible treats are a great prize but different treats could be oral admiration and playthings. Many shorter training sessions are much more effective than 1 long one. Training should not contain any negative comments or punishment. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no chain jerking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Every single training opportunity is to be enjoyed and confidence-building with prizes for a job well done.
