Standard Russian Spaniel Obedience Tips

Training should be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your Russian Spaniel. If you’re not in the best mindset for training, do not even start. Always treat the Russian Spaniel for following your orders promptly! A reward is anything that your Russian Spaniel wants and is willing to work for. Food is the expected reward but different treats could be verbalized praise and toys. Several shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than a single long one. Training should not contain any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no smacking or hitting, no chain yanking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity is to be enjoyed and confidence-building with rewards for jobs well done.

Training Russian Spaniels with head collars

Yanking the lead is one of the few unpleasant experiences of training a new Russian Spaniel puppy. Using a head collar for Russian Spaniel training has become standard throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the regular training collar. While quite easy to use, it’s vital that head collars are fitted correctly and your Russian Spaniel correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more intuitive to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Russian Spaniels in difficult situations.
