Training
1. BE PATIENT
Your dog learns by repetition and rewards. Dogs learn in a step by step process. Repeat each step until your
dog understands what you want of him.

2. STAY CALM
DO NOT become frustrated, as you will gain nothing. Spitz are very sensitive dogs. If you punish them, they
may retain a lifelong fear. If a lesson doesn't go well, Stop! Change to something your dog understands.
Always end the training on a positive note.

3. BE CONSISTENT
Always correct your dog when he makes a mistake or disobeys a command. DO NOT correct once in awhile,
and overlook it at other times. Your dog will get confused and won't know what to do.

4. PRAISE YOUR DOG
Every time your dog does something well, praise him! Praise him even if you had to correct him to get the
desired response.

6. COMMAND ONLY ONCE
DO NOT repeat a command! Your dog will soon realise that he doesn't need to perform on the first
command. If necessary, gently use the leash to correct him, then praise at the desired moment.

An ideal lesson time for a young pup is about three to five minutes each session, up to three sessions a day.
An adult dog can be trained up to twenty minutes, twice a day.

8. HAVE FUN
Always end each training session with play time. By doing so, you can incorporate old skills to raise the dog's
confidence.
