Standard Scottish Terrier Obedience Tips
Training has to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and the Scottish Terrier. If you’re not in the right mindset for training, do not even begin. Always reward the Scottish Terrier for heeding your commands to the letter! A treat is anything that your Scottish Terrier desires and is willing to work for. Food is an obvious prize but other prizes could be verbal praise and playthings. Multiple shorter sessions are demonstrated to be better than 1 long one. Training mustn’t contain any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every training opportunity is to be enjoyed and positive with praise for jobs well done.

Using a head collar for Scottish Terrier training has become very popular throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the usual training collar. Although very simple to use, it is crucial that head collars are fitted properly and your Scottish Terrier correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are typically more easy to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are very effective when guiding Scottish Terriers in difficult situations.
