Training
1. BE PATIENT
Your dog learns by repetition, rewards and corrections. 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 too
severely, 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.

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, use the leash to correct him, then praise.

confidence.
