Standard Jagdterrier Obedience Tips

Training must be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Jagdterrier. If you are not in the right mindset for training, don’t even think of starting. Always treat your Jagdterrier for heeding your commands precisely! A prize is anything that your Jagdterrier wants and is willing to earn. Edible treats are a great prize but different rewards could be verbalized praise and toys. Multiple brief training sessions are usually more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training opportunity should be enjoyable and positive with praise for jobs well done.
