Basic Volpino Italiano Obedience Tips

Training has to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience for both you and your Volpino Italiano. If you’re not in the best mood for training, do not even begin. Always treat the Volpino Italiano for heeding your commands promptly! A treat is anything that your Volpino Italiano wants and is willing to earn. Food is the usual prize but other prizes could be verbalized praise and playthings. Multiple brief sessions are typically more effective than one long one. Training shouldn’t contain any degrading comments or punishment. 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 should be pleasant and reinforcing with treats for a job well done.

Training Volpino Italianos with head collars

Yanking the leash is one of the few negative experiences of raising a new Volpino Italiano puppy. Utilizing a head collar for Volpino Italiano training has become standard throughout the last few years. Training with a head collar does have some advantages over the regular training collar. While quite easy to use, it is important that head collars are fitted properly and your Volpino Italiano properly introduced to the collar. Head collars are pretty much more simple to use than a regular training collar. Head collars are quite powerful when training Volpino Italianos in tricky situations.
