Training Tips from the Schrodi Memorial Training Fund
​

• Have FUN

when training.  You will do it more often if it’s enjoyable rather than a task.

• ​Don’t train your dog when you are grumpy

. ​It’s no fun for either of you.

• Set house rules

that everyone can follow and stick to them.  It’s not fair to your dog to change the rules every day.

• Catch your dog doing something RIGHT. A smile

 , “good dog”, pat on the head and a biscuit go a long way to encouraging a repeat of good behavior.

• “Aggression begets aggression.” If you behave aggressively toward your dog, you set the model of behavior.  Your dog with think aggression is a good form of conflict resolution.  STAY CALM!

• PLAY with your dog

. ​This is the best training ever.  Teach your dog you are FUN and they will want to listen to you and hang out with you.  Use toys in play so they don’t learn it’s ok to put their mouth on people.
