How to train a Boykin Retriever? In addition to correct training methods, training dogs also requires patience. After all, dogs are not as smart as humans. They need a certain amount of time to practice repeatedly to master the key points.

We must avoid rough methods

Like any animal, the Boykin Hound is very wary of people, and corporal punishment is the most unacceptable method to force the Boykin Hound to obey. From a dog's perspective, being beaten or kicked for no apparent reason can only create the impression of "abuse." If it is a very strong owner, the Boykin Spaniel may obey out of fear. However, dogs that grow up in this environment are extremely insecure and sometimes attack weaker children or the elderly, or even bite people. Therefore, when the Boykin Hound does not obey the command, while shouting the command, shoot the Boykin Hound in the face with a water gun, and most of the dogs will calm down.

Train anytime, anywhere

There is a misunderstanding that there is a time limit for Boykin Spaniel training. This is actually wrong. We should patiently teach Boykin dogs what to do and what not to do in daily life such as walking, eating, and having guests.

Don’t praise too much

Unlike educating your baby, praise for your Boykin Spaniel should be limited to when your Boykin Spaniel is very obedient. If you praise it at all times, it will confuse it. It will not know when it will be praised, which will make future training more difficult.

Be patient

The Boykin Spaniel is not an animal that can remember and follow the instructions immediately after being taught once or twice. It requires the gradual formation of memory through continuous training. Therefore, breeders are required to be patient and constantly train it.

Cultivate adaptability

Boykin Spaniels often avoid things they don’t like, bark at them, or simply destroy them. This sometimes causes a lot of trouble for the owner. In this case, you must first be patient, never impatient, let the Boykin Hound slowly approach the things it doesn't like, and at the same time, keep talking to it in a gentle voice to calm it down. If you beat and scold the dog at this time, it will make the Boykin Hound hide further.

Correction must be timely

When the Boykin Spaniel is about to do something that "cannot be done", it should be stopped loudly and decisively.Stop it. If you reprimand it afterwards, the Boykin Spaniel will not understand the reason and will continue to do those "can't do" things. What's more serious is that if the Boykin Hound is often reprimanded for unknown reasons, it will gradually develop a sense of distrust towards the owner and no longer listen to the owner's orders.

Ask the experts

During the training process, if you encounter any difficult problems, do not tinker or guess on your own, but consult experts or veterinarians at any time. This way you won’t delay your dog.

The most important thing is: have love

The purpose of feeding and training a Boykin Spaniel is to "teach", not "scold". The best way is to praise and stroke often so that the Boykin Hound understands the owner's happy mood. The most unfavorable method is to force the dog to obey by corporal punishment. In fact, the feeding of all pets is the same. The most important thing is to have love.
