Schipperke is a working dog that is known for it’s intelligence and strong will. They Schipperke can make a great addition as a family member in your home but it is important to do your Schipperke training.
When the Schipperke is just a puppy it is important that the breeder or the owner spends time training the dog socially. This is important so that when the Schipperke is ready it is comfortable in it’s new home with new animals and people.
Schipperke training is very important, as you’ll often find they’re capable of devilish behavior. Nothing to serious but don’t be surprised to find your favorite slipper missing, or a newspaper torn up and the dog always seems to look innocent seemingly saying, “wasn’t me I swear!” Being small and quick you’ll notice that your Schipperke disappears when trouble arises.
Your Schipperke will be stubborn at times during it’s training. You may find the dog unwilling to give up objects. When in trouble or when needing to go somewhere you’ll find the dog wants to stay just out of reach. So do not be surprised when you have these little complications during your Schipperke training.
You may also find at times that your dog “talks back” or takes revenge out on you after he or she has been disciplined or scolded. It may be something like chewing, or tearing something up. Possibly even going to the bathroom inside the house even though your dog is housetrained. Many times the reason these events happen is because the dog feels that it has become the pack leader or is higher in order than the owner is. It is always necessary to keep control and dominance over the dog and this will mostly happen when the dog is a puppy.
Training your new pet does mean you have to be mean or harsh with your dog. Two of the most important factors in your Schipperke training are going to be firmness and consistency. If a dog gets away with something once in awhile it knows that. Stay firm, stay consistent and you and your new pet will have a great relationship.
