Standard Lowchen Obedience Tips

Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Lowchen. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even start. Always reward your Lowchen for listening to your commands precisely! A reward is anything that your Lowchen desires and is willing to earn. Food is a great reward but other prizes could be verbal admiration and toys. Multiple shorter sessions are usually better than a long one. Training should not contain any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity needs to be pleasant and reinforcing with prizes for each job well done.

Training Lowchens with head collars

Yanking the lead is one of the few displeasing requirements of raising a new Lowchen puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Lowchen training has become standard over the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the standard training collar. Even though it is quite easy to use, it is vital that head collars are fitted correctly and your Lowchen correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are generally more simple to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are very effective when training Lowchens in difficult situations.
