The Chow Chow is an ancient dog breed native to Tibet, China, with a history of at least 2,000 years. It can also be seen in some cultural relics of the Han Dynasty. It appeared and improved in Britain at the end of the 19th century. In ancient times, the Chow Chow was regarded as the enemy of evil spirits and was always used to guard temples and pull cars. The Chow Chow is a working dog and is a versatile all-purpose dog that can perform tasks such as hunting, guarding, and towing.

Methods to train Chow Chow:

(1) The purpose of praise and touch training is to "teach" rather than "scold". The best way is to praise and pet frequently to let the dog understand the owner's happy mood.

(2) The password should be clear. In order for the dog to understand and remember it, it is best to use short, clearly pronounced passwords during training, and it is not appropriate to say them repeatedly. When giving orders, avoid being loud or angry. Because dogs are very sensitive, the above practices will make the dog gradually associate scolding with training. In addition, the same command should be given in different tones for dogs with different temperaments. For example, for both "squat", a nervous dog should be ordered gently or heartily, and a lively dog ​​should be ordered loudly and decisively. The breeder should choose different methods according to the personality of his dog.

(3) Avoid unnecessary praise. Praise the dog only when the dog is very obedient. If you always praise your dog, it will confuse it and it will not know when it will be praised. This makes it difficult to carry out key training.

(4) Correction must be made in time. When the dog is about to do something "not allowed to be done", it should be stopped loudly and decisively. If you scold it later, the dog will not understand the reason and will still continue to do those "can't do" things. What's more serious is that if the dog is often reprimanded for unknown reasons, the dog will gradually develop a sense of distrust towards the owner and no longer listen to the owner's orders.

(5) Resolutely put an end to corporal punishment. Using corporal punishment to force dogs to obey is the most unacceptable method. Like any animal, dogs are very wary of people. From a dog's perspective, being beaten or kicked for no apparent reason can only create the impression of "abuse." If the owner is very powerful, the dog may obey out of fear. However, dogs that grow up in this environment are extremely insecure and sometimes attack weaker children or the elderly, or even bite people. Therefore, when the dog does not obey the command, if you shout the command and shoot the water gun at the dog's face, most of the dogs will calm down. Training anytime, anywhere Training is not limited by time. In some daily life such as walking, eating, visiting, etc.You should patiently teach your dog what to do and what not to do.

(7) Never give up. Dogs are not animals that can remember and follow instructions immediately after being taught once or twice. It requires the gradual formation of memory through continuous training. Therefore, breeders are required to be patient and constantly train it. Cultivating Adaptability Dogs often avoid things they don't like, bark at them, or simply destroy them. This sometimes causes a lot of trouble for the owner. In this case, you must first be patient, never be impatient, let the dog approach the thing it doesn't like slowly, and at the same time, keep talking to it in a gentle voice to calm it down. If you beat and scold the dog at this time, it will make the dog hide further. In addition, the breeding method of keeping the dog away from things and places it does not like can only increase the distress of the breeder, and the breeder is helpless.

(9) Do not compare with other dogs. Dogs have different abilities. Therefore, training should be carried out at a speed that is suitable for them. You must not compare with other dogs and think that "our dog's understanding is really poor." Have confidence in your dog.

(10) Consult experts. If you encounter any difficult problems during the training process, please feel free to consult experts or veterinarians.
