Standard Gordon Setter Obedience Tips

Training has to be a positive and enjoyable situation for both you and the Gordon Setter. If you’re not in the right mood for training, do not even think of starting. Always commend the Gordon Setter for listening to your commands expeditiously! A reward is anything that your Gordon Setter wants and is happy to earn. Food is an obvious prize but other rewards could be verbalized admiration and toys. Many brief training sessions are typically better than a long one. Training shouldn’t involve any negative components or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Every training session is to be enjoyed and positive with praise for each job well done.

Utilizing a head collar for Gordon Setter training has become standard throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some unique advantages over the standard training collar. Even though it is quite easy to use, it’s crucial that head collars are fitted correctly and your Gordon Setter correctly introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more easy to use than a traditional training collar. Head collars are very powerful when guiding Gordon Setters in difficult situations.
