Train your Chessie with consistency and positive reinforcement — rewards for correct behavior. Keep training fun and avoid repetition so he doesn’t become bored. Always end training sessions on a high note, praising or rewarding him for something he’s done well. In other words, quit while you’re both ahead! He learns best from people he knows and loves, so don’t try to take the easy way out by sending him off to a trainer. This loyal dog will work best for you if you train him yourself.
