Using Tools During German Shorthaired Pointer Training

By Laura Sutton


Inviting a dog into your family can be one of the most wonderful and gratifying things you do with your life. You'll help your canine by providing him the love and attention that he needs while providing you with a terrific companion to share your life with. These training tips were created to give you an idea how using a variety of training tools can affect your German Shorthaired Pointer training outcome.

Have the correct equipment and use it appropriately. The type of leash, collar and harness are very crucial to consider when training a dog. Figure out how to put on a chain or nylon slip collar and use a standard 6 foot leash for most training. The larger the dog, the more secure these items will have to be. Additionally if one has a dog that pulls on the leash a harness needs to be used to manage the animal opposed to a choke chain or collar. Do not yank or pull on the leash. Simply give a quick tug and release when the dog disregards a command to come or heel. Quickly just wearing the collar will probably be enough to remind the dog that you're the one in charge of the training session and very few corrections must be needed.

While using tools is effective in German Shorthaired Pointer training, be sure that you know how to use them correctly. Inappropriate utilization of tools is not only ineffective but can cause injury and other accidents that can endanger your dog's life. Read and comprehend instructions carefully. If you can have someone demonstrate to you how to use a specific tool, then do it.

Reinforce positive behaviors as you train your pet. Rather than scolding or punishing your canine friend in reaction to an objectionable behavior, avoid reinforcing it. If you yell and scream, your dog may become really frightened of you. Positive reinforcement is the simplest way to go and gain the trust of your four-legged pet.

Take the tips and advice that were stated in this article to develop a great relationship with your furry companion. You're certain to benefit from the tips if you take the time to utilize them and the right equipment in your German Shorthaired Pointer training. Helping your new friend attain effective training outcome is giving him a forever home and making him a joy to live with.
