It is not uncommon for pet dogs to appear in movies. Their exquisite expressions and deep eyes add a lot to the film. Human Film selects Best Actor and Best Actress every year to honor those actors who have contributed to the film industry with their superb acting skills. In fact, the cute pet dog is also the "actor" in people's minds. Their performances are also very impressive, and their performances of pretending to be dead are absolutely wonderful. So in life, what is the method to teach a dog to play dead?

To teach a dog to play dead, the owner first needs a little snack in one hand, then says "bang" with his mouth, and then forcefully knocks it to the ground with the other hand. In the first few trainings, as soon as the dog falls down, parents can give it delicious food as a reward and praise it for its good performance.

After such hand-by-hand mechanical training, it is necessary to gradually transition to using passwords to train pet dogs. Let the dog lie down and pretend to be dead every time he hears a "bang" sound.

Of course, letting a pet dog learn to play dead is not a task that can be completed in one or two days. Parental training also takes time. Training a pet dog to pretend to be dead requires persistence every day. It can be trained 3-5 times a day, and each training time should be kept to about 10 minutes. This can keep the dog's fun in participating in the training and prevent it from getting bored of the training too quickly.

Reminder, when training a dog to pretend to be dead, parents can also make a shooting gesture and then give the "bang" command. Let the dog have a clear enough understanding of commands and gestures. After a period of training, the pet dog will gradually form a conditioned reflex. In the future, as long as it hears instructions or sees the owner's gestures, it will perform "pretend to be dead". Pet owners, hurry up and try it~
