Adaptability training can exercise the dog's physique and courage, eliminate the dog's fear of various unfamiliar environmental conditions, and improve the dog's adaptability to ensure that its normal behavior and owner's command are not affected.

Environmental exercise

The environment in which dogs live changes at any time and at any time. Dogs must adapt to their environment through behavior. However, dogs can only adjust their behavior by first sensing the state of the surrounding environment. A dog's behavior is the complex result of the interaction between the dog and the environment. It is the comprehensive function of the dog's body. Any behavior always occurs in a certain natural environment. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the environmental training of dogs.

1. Cultivation method

The owner should intentionally take the dog to an environment that is unfamiliar to the dog for exercise to eliminate the dog’s exploration reflex and improve the dog’s adaptability. During environmental exercise, in addition to taking the dog to an unfamiliar environment, the dog should also be taken to a place where there are vehicles, pedestrians, livestock, poultry and other activities, and the leash should be lengthened to allow it to move freely. If the dog shows fear, the owner should promptly give comfort and encouragement; if the dog is afraid of a strange environment or shows signs of biting an object, the owner should immediately issue a "no" command in a threatening tone, followed by a sharp tug on the leash. Mechanical stimulation. When the dog stops its bad behavior, reward it with the "good" command. Such training will make the dog neither afraid of new stimuli in unfamiliar environments nor actively aggressive, thus cultivating good adaptability.

2. Pay attention to the problem

(1) The use of forced methods in training can easily cause dogs to inhibit unfamiliar environments and novel stimuli. Owners should control the intensity of stimulation.

(2) Environmental exercise should follow the principle of starting from simple to complex and step by step, and combine more induction, less coercion, more reinforcement and less prohibition to cultivate abilities.
