You might have heard about positive training for dogs and people claiming that this is a really good thing to do with your dog. But here also the uniqueness of the Afghan hound kicks in and forces us to look into some other methods like respect training for dogs.

Almost all dog breeds including Afghan hound are likely to respond to rewards that they are offered during training time. Please concentrate on the phrase “during training time”. The positive training for dogs actually works in developing the mentality of getting a reward when the dog does something desirable. The question arises that what if the dog doesn’t want any treat at the moment when the master is expecting something from the dog. This happens with all dog breeds and this behavior of evading a master’s wish is more common and frequent in sight hounds like Afghan hound and some other difficult to train dog breeds like Tibetan mastiff or a Pyrenean mountain dog or for that matter an Anatolian shepherd dog. Here respect training for dogs is necessary.

This won’t work under circumstances when the Afghan hound simply chooses to not to pay any heed to a well-behaved master offering a delicious treat, especially when the Afghan hound is not hungry. In this case, you need to establish another approach enveloping the positive training for dogs. This method of training your dog is known as respect training for the dog and it really works especially for aloof and stubborn dog breeds. Let us look into this method of respect training for dogs.
