Whether learning to train a hunting or barking dog, the technique is the same

Dog Training

When dog training, the first thing you need to do is buy a collar and lead for your puppy. You should choose one made of nylon or soft leather. When your puppy grows older, you can buy him a heavier collar, and if he's a large breed, it should be made of heavy leather, with a strong buckle and clip.

Remember that your puppy will grow very fast, so his first collar should be adjustable. Often the puppy's breeder will give you a collar and lead with your puppy when you pick him up.

If your puppy is not used to a collar yet, he should start his dog training by wearing the collar in the house for a few days. At first he will try to get rid of the collar, but in an hour or so he will get used to it, and then you can remove it.
