Training Tips for Floppy Ears

Jeff Fuller — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:10:10 +0000

In the evolution of Floppy Ears training, the question of what methods would be best for Floppy come into play. Lets face it, most people know little about training a dog and need to develop some type of program.

The first step is to chose a method of training to be applied. There are numerous books, periodicals, tapes and DVDs out there to use as a guide. But then the question arises, “which method would be right for Floppy and me?” A good answer to this question would be to first decide the final destination for Floppy Ears in his quest for higher learning. A good suggestion would also be to aim your training program in a direction so that once Floppy accomplishes your set goals, you can still ascend to new heights if desired at a later date. At this point the plan of attack should be to find a training program that is easy to understand for the trainer. If the trainer cannot figure out what the instructions are then it should not be expected for the pupil to magically accomplish the set goals.

The next step is to acquire the needed equipment for training Ole Floppy Ears. Do not try to cut costs and corners by not being fully equipped to implement your chosen training plan. Floppy will gain most of his/her knowledge during these tender years so make sure you have the tools to help.
