General Schweizer Laufhund Obedience Tips

Training should be a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and the Schweizer Laufhund. If you’re not in the right mood for training, do not even think of starting. Always reward your Schweizer Laufhund for obeying your commands promptly! A prize is anything that your Schweizer Laufhund wants and is willing to work for. Edible treats are the typical reward but other treats could be verbal admiration and toys. Multiple brief sessions are much more effective than a long one. Training mustn’t contain any degrading comments or consequences. There should be no yelling, no hitting or smacking, no leash yanking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training session must be pleasant and confidence-building with treats for each job well done.

Training Schweizer Laufhunds with head collars

Pulling on the leash is one of the few negative experiences of raising a new Schweizer Laufhund puppy. Using a head collar for Schweizer Laufhund training has become standard throughout the last decade. Training with a head collar does have some benefits over the standard training collar. Although very simple to use, it’s vital that head collars are fitted properly and your Schweizer Laufhund gradually introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more intuitive to use than an usual training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when guiding Schweizer Laufhunds in tricky situations.
