Basic Schipperke Obedience Tips
Training has to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and your Schipperke. If you are not in the best mood for training, don’t even think of beginning. Always commend your Schipperke for heeding your commands expediently! A reward is anything that your Schipperke desires and is happy to work for. Food is an obvious prize but other rewards could be verbalized praise and toys. Several brief training sessions are typically more effective than 1 long one. Training must not involve any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every training session is to be pleasant and positive with praise for jobs well done.
Training Schipperkes with head collars
Pulling on the lead is one of the few negative experiences of training a new Schipperke puppy. Using a head collar for Schipperke training has become very popular throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the traditional training collar. Although quite simple to utilize, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your Schipperke correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more easy to use than a typical training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Schipperkes in tricky situations.
