The dog has just arrived at a new home. How to train the dog to understand its own name? Today I will talk about how to train the dog to understand its own name. When we took the dog home with great interest, , the first thing is to give it a name. After the name is chosen, the dog should be trained to let the dog know that this is its name. So what should be done specifically? Let’s take a look below.

1. Name the dog

The first step in training our dog is to let the dog have a clear memory of its own name, so when naming the dog , it is best to choose mono- or bi-syllable words that are easy to pronounce, short and crisp, so that dogs can easily remember and distinguish them, such as Diandian, Huahua, Allen, Jenny, etc. It is best to conduct name-call training when your dog is in a good mood, such as when playing with you or asking for food from you.

2. Methods of training dogs

Dog name training must be carried out continuously and repeatedly for a long time. If the dog can quickly turn its head when it hears its name, wag its tail happily, and come to you, then the training is initially successful. At this time, don’t forget to give the dog appropriate rewards, such as stroking the dog’s head or giving it some delicious snacks to let the dog know that “it turns out that the owner will be very happy if you do this”, so that it can form a conditioned reflex. It will "please" its owner until it approaches happily when you call its name. If the dog clearly hears you calling, but deliberately "pretends to be deaf and mute" and is too lazy to respond, you may wish to use the leash to pull the dog closer to you while continuing to call the dog's name. Do not punish the dog by yelling or barking when doing name-calling training. This will make the dog mistakenly think that calling its name is to punish it and dare not go there, which will affect the training effect. When doing name training, sometimes you have to keep repeating the dog's name to attract its attention and strengthen the dog's memory. And when a dog can sense its name, you can no longer call its name randomly. Otherwise, the dog will stage a "wolf is coming" story with you, and it will think that its name is just a gift. A synonym for your entertainment, thus completely ignoring the "signals" you convey.

Through the article, everyone should know how to train the dog to understand its own name. The editor reminds that pet owners must be patient during the training process and never lose their temper with the dog. Hitting and scolding your dog will only have the opposite effect.
