So how should we train Akita dogs to protect their owners? Today I will share with you some tips on training Akita dogs to protect their owners. Don’t miss it!

How to train an Akita dog to protect its owner?

1. At the beginning of training, you can put the training dog leash and collar on the Akita dog, and prepare the Akita dog’s favorite delicacies at the same time. When the breeder zips up the Akita dog, he says the "sit" command at the same time. If it is a dog participating in training for the first time, the breeder needs to gently press its hind legs with his hands so that the dog can move in the correct posture. until the next pose is reached. When the dog completes an action, the breeder can reward the dog with an appropriate amount of food.

2. When the dog wants to stand up after lying down, the breeder should press it back to its original position and repeat the "sit" command until it sits down again. When the dog maintains the lowering position for a few seconds, the breeder can walk up to the dog and say "good" loudly to encourage and praise the dog for doing well. At the same time, reward the dog with delicious food or gently stroke it, so that the dog can successfully participate in the next training.

3. If the dog that is sitting down keeps shaking from side to side, the breeder should keep repeating the tones of "Don't move" and "Don't move" so that the dog can continue to sit stably. After sitting firmly for a few minutes, the breeder can give the "stand up" command so that the dog can stand up. Train at a fixed time period every day, 15-20 minutes each time, and train 3-4 times a day. After a period of repetitive training, the dog can master the "sit" movement.

4. Akita dogs are excited and active, and it is difficult to control their behavior during training. Therefore, we must master the principle of step-by-step during training, try to choose a clean environment, adopt a work-rest approach, and prepare enough food when necessary to induce the dog to participate in training. During the training process, the breeder cannot pamper or relax the training of the dog. The training of the dog must be carried out with strict requirements.

Why do Akita dogs protect people?

As we all know, the ancestors of Akita dogs are wolves, and they also inherit the group consciousness of their ancestors. When an Akita dog lives with people, it naturally regards every member of the family as a member of the group. The survival of the group requires the unity, friendship and mutual support of each member. So when danger occurs, (at least when the Akita dog thinks it is danger) it will naturally protect every member of the family. Of course, sometimesIt is also natural for it to seek protection from us. There can only be one leader in each animal group. This leader should meet the conditions of being tall and stern, so he will be respected and obeyed by all members. The Akita dog will always find such a role in the family, most of the time it will be the male owner of the family, so it will always obey the male owner's words, but sometimes it will be indifferent to the female owner or children who usually feed it. Therefore, one thing to note is that when the Akita is still a young Akita, it must establish the image of the owner. Do not overindulge it, disagree with its request if you think it is unreasonable, or scold it loudly. It would be a disaster if the Akita Inu thought he was the leader of the group. The Akita Inu is like a child, and the principle of "a dutiful son is born from a stick" also applies to it. Of course, we are not asking you to beat Akita dogs. Moderate and strict training of Akita dogs is also essential.
