Basic Dogo Argentino Obedience Tips
Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Dogo Argentino. If you are not in the best mindset for training, do not even begin. Always commend your Dogo Argentino for obeying your commands exactly! A prize is anything that your Dogo Argentino wants and is happy to work for. Snacks are the typical reward but other rewards could be verbalized admiration and toys. Many shorter training sessions are much more effective than a long one. Training should not involve any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every training opportunity should be pleasant and reinforcing with treats for a job well done.
Training Dogo Argentinos with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few negative jobs of training a new Dogo Argentino puppy. Using a head collar for Dogo Argentino training has become very popular throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the regular training collar. While very easy to use, it is crucial that head collars are fitted correctly and your Dogo Argentino gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more simple to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Dogo Argentinos in tricky situations.
