Training

When trained using techniques based on positive reinforcement, afollies show signs of improvement. To motivate and encourage desirable actions, create a good connection with training sessions, and make learning fun for the dog, use prizes like treats, praise, and toys.

Learn the basics first, such "sit," "stay," "down," "come," and "leave it." The foundation for more complex training activities is laid with these instructions, which create good communication between the owner and the Afollie. The key to effectively enforcing these directions is to be consistent and patient.

To ensure that Afollies grow up to be happy, healthy, and adaptable, it is crucial to socialize them early and thoroughly. They are less likely to develop behavioural problems as adults if they are exposed to a wide variety of stimuli, sounds, sights, and interactions beginning at a young age.

Leash training is essential for Afollies because of their dual heritage—Afghan Hounds for hunting and Collies for herding. The owner and the dog will both benefit from walks when the dog learns to walk quietly on a leash without tugging or showing signs of excessive eagerness.

Because of their high level of intelligence and energy, Afollies are great at things that need quick thinking and quick reflexes. Agility courses, puzzle toys, and interactive games are great for dogs because they provide exercise and cerebral stimulation, all of which are important for a healthy breed.
