HOW TRAIN YOUR TRUFFLE DOG.
For everybody who wants to train their dog, we sell bags of frozen truffles 100g (fresh: contact us).
Stape 1: donner ake some truffles to eat to your dog until he loves it.
Stape 2: Your dog loves truffles. Play with your dog: Roll the truffle as a toy. Tell him to bring the truffle. And begin to hide the truffles inside the house (under a rug, a slipper ...), he can eat the truffle found in the house. The first time you hide the truffle, show him what a truffle is and where you've hidden..
Stape 3: The dog found all the truffles hidden in the house: he must learn to dig it. Begin to hide the truffle in the ground in a sandbox or in your lawn (subsurface for the first time, then more and more profound maxi.10cm). Stay next to him while encouraging ("search truffle" or "shows the Truffle...: choose a vocabulary that you use each cavage). If it does not find the truffle help him to find it, dig with him if necessary.
Do not let him eat the truffle which is out of the ground. If he does : open his mouth and remove all pieces of truffle and say "NO ! : That is for me." and reward him anyway because he found for you the truffle. Be patient, never get angry (the dog may feel your anger and no longer want to work). If it does take an hour to play with your dog and you calm down. All training is made with the consent of the dog: Never force the animal to work (he must think it's a game). Make sessions of 10 min separated by at least one hour between each training .
BON COURAGE
