Summary: Since Italian Setters, or Bracco Italiano, like all dogs, are inherently wild animals they all need some sort of training to become accustomed to their surroundings and the rules of your home. The most difficult part of this process is communicating with your dog in a civil, non-violent way that lets them know you are boss and this is the rule. By praising positive behavior, and correcting or ignoring negative behavior you are able to show your pet what is acceptable and what is not in a loving way that does not make them fear you. This creates a relationship between you and your dog that is based on love and not temperament.

This video series will show you lots of tips, information and techniques to help you train your Italian Setter to recognize their name, to sit and to lay down. You will learn how positive reinforcement is more effective than physical punishment and the best way to correct your dog when they are misbehaving. Also learn how to get them accustomed to the world and the distractions in it.
