Everyone likes smart and obedient dogs. Many people want to train their dogs to be obedient, but the training has no effect for a long time! Dog training is a process that requires patience, and it should not be rushed, and the method must be used correctly. This is This is a very critical step, but some people have been taught the wrong method from the beginning!

“NO” and “START” are the commands that owners often say to their dogs. Concise language and clear tone are the standards for the quality of passwords. Dogs can understand passwords because the dog has formed a habit after being taught by the owner for a long time. In a dog's daily life, many unexpected situations will occur, such as meeting a stray cat during a walk or being harassed by other dogs, which will suddenly make the dog excited. At this time, the owner issues the command "Wait!". If the dog can stabilize its mood, the safety of the owner and the dog can be ensured. This issue of "Dog Training Guide" is to help dogs learn the basic commands necessary in life.

Think before training

Think about it carefully, does the dog only obey the command when it is waiting for a snack or when the owner issues a command loudly and sternly, but often pretends not to hear the command at critical moments?

This actually shows that your training has not been completely successful. If you want your dog to completely obey the command, you need further anti-interference training.

Why does training fail or fail to achieve complete success? Many times it is because the owner does not systematically think about what to do and acts blindly. Before taking action, think carefully about the dog's personality and what it thinks after hearing the command from its perspective. You will make many new discoveries.

Thinking Question 1 Does your dog trust you 100%?

Sometimes the owner thinks that the dog does not listen to his command, or even does not want to understand the command at all, which makes the owner extremely annoyed. At this time, you should think about the relationship between your dog and yourself in daily life. If your dog does not completely trust you and is always wary of you, such a relationship will definitely affect obedience training. It is better to let your dog feel that it is safe to be with you from the bottom of his heart before he can train with peace of mind.

Thinking Question 2: Does the dog have the energy to run away?

If the initial training is unsuccessful, there may be other scary or interesting things around that attract the dog's attention. You'd better be prepared to start the initial training in a quiet and undisturbed environment. Once your dog gets used to it, you can slowly move into other environments and train obedience under a variety of distractions.

Thinking Question 3 Integrate training into daily lifeLive

If the dog can be trained according to its own ideas and the owner cooperates, when the dog completes the action, the owner shouts the command, and it is easy for the dog to associate the command with the action. Therefore, you should observe the habits of your dog in daily life. When your dog makes a certain action, you can seize the opportunity to train and induce it, which can get twice the result with half the effort.

Common mistakes in using passwords—you make your dog misunderstand!

Mistake 1: Talking too much

"Sit down, didn't you say sit down? Why don't you sit down?" Although it seemed like an instruction, it said a lot of words at once. Such language is too complex for dogs to understand correctly. In fact, just say the simplest word that can express the meaning of the action!

Error 2: Difficult to identify synonyms

"There is water there, don't sit down!" At this time, the host should actually say "get up" instead of "don't sit down". Dogs don’t understand negative voice, which can leave them confused and not sure what to do. If the owner becomes anxious because of frustration in training, the dog will lose confidence in learning.

Error 3: Family members have different passwords

Everyone in the family has different commands for the same action. For example, someone says "sit" and someone says "sit", but they all mean the same thing, which makes the dog confused. Although it is not necessary to order the dog in a particularly strong tone, the command must be clear. In addition, the standards for rewarding the dog, the content the dog needs to learn, etc. must be discussed and decided by all family members and implemented together.

Error 4: One word expresses multiple meanings

Common confusion: Owners often confuse the two passwords: reward and release. It is also easy to confuse error and stop. It is recommended that the owner use the following words to express the simplest meaning, such as reward - good behavior, release action - good, error - no, stop action - stop.

Don’t let your dog feel cheated

During training, some owners often let their dogs continue to obey in order to pursue them.Enforce inconsistent commands. For example, the owner first tells the dog to "come", and after the dog comes, he gives the "go" command to let the dog go away. Of course the dog will be unhappy if you play this way.

Rewards will be given when the action is completely completed

The same action often requires multiple trainings to complete completely. In this case, only the dog can be rewarded if it completes the entire action perfectly.

As the training continues to deepen, rewards will be given after the dog successfully executes the same password twice in a row, or five different passwords. It is necessary to make it more difficult for the dog to obtain rewards.

Exercise - Let your dog follow you like a magnet

Before teaching the dog the commands "sit, down, stand", you need to let the dog understand the postures expressed by these commands.

You can use the snacks your dog likes, hold them in your hand, and then let the dog follow your hand movements like a magnet. Through the guidance of the owner, when the dog assumes the corresponding posture, tell the dog the passwords corresponding to these postures.

Learn each action one by one

Teaching a dog more than 3 postures at the same time requires extremely strong control, so that the dog can maintain a high degree of concentration. It will be easier to train if you only train one pose at a time. Wait until the dog has completely mastered multiple postures, and then let the dog perform them continuously.

Step 1 Attract the dog with your hands

The owner holds the dog's favorite snack in one hand, attracts it in front of the dog's nose, and keeps the dog's nose in contact with the snack in his hand.

Step 2 Teach it the correct posture

When the owner's hand holding the snack is turned sideways or downward, the dog will naturally follow the snack in his hand to lie down or sit down. If you lift the hand holding the food, it will stand up.

Step 3 The master issues the password

When the dog makes the correct posture, you should say the corresponding command at the same time, so that the dog can deeply realize that posture, instructions and snacks are interrelated and occur simultaneously.

In real life, many dogs are in danger due to traffic accidents. If the dog can maintain a quiet posture according to the owner's command anytime and anywhere, the risk can be greatly reduced.
