    Training Basics

    The basic requirement for obedience training is a six-foot leash made of either nylon or leather. Experts don’t usually recommend the use flexi or retractable leases for training. You will also need a sturdy collar that should be fitted properly. Always keep handy some treats or toys to use as reward for your pets and lots of water, too. For dog owners, you need to have a steady stream of patience coupled with a highly positive attitude. Dogs can sense your moods, whether you are tense or properly relaxed, and will predictably respond accordingly.


    It is equally important to choose the area that has limited distractions so your dog will find it easier to focus on whatever task at hand. Keep in mind that the younger the dog, the shorter should be the training session. A typical session should be a maximum of two to three sessions in a day and each session should not exceed more than five to ten minutes in length. If you notice that your dog is not feeling well, schedule the training session for later as this will only give you and your dog a hard time. Some experts recommend training dogs when they are hungry mainly because you can easily use food treats as reinforcements. This state, your dog will considerably be more agile and more willing to please.
