How to train an Alaskan dog to lie down

Lying down training is to cultivate the dog's ability to lie down quickly according to the owner's command.

Password: "Lie"; Gestures: Lie on the front, raise your right hand up, and then stretch it forward, palm downward; lie on the side, point your right hand downward from the front of the dog. First, make the dog sit on the left side. The owner takes a step forward with his right leg, bends his body forward and downward, and then uses the food held in his right hand to lure the dog. When the dog shows that it is acquired, take the opportunity to slowly move the food forward and downward from the bottom of the dog's mouth, and at the same time issue the "lie" command. When the dog lies down, reward it with food in time. In the future, as the conditioned reflex gradually forms, the food stimulus can be cancelled, and the dog can be made to lie down with verbal commands and gestures.

Another method is to make the dog sit down on the left side, then the owner takes a step back with his left leg in a squatting position, holds the dog's two forelimbs with both hands, issues the "lie" command, and extends the dog's two forelimbs forward. , and at the same time press the dog's shoulder swelling with your left arm, and reward the dog immediately when he lies down correctly. Remember, don’t punish your dog when it does something wrong or doesn’t obey instructions. Instead, pat its head and praise it as soon as it does something right, and it will become more obedient, because encouragement is never too much.

How to train a dog to fetch and take away items

Here is a way to train a dog that you will easily learn. Throw the ball and let the dog pick it up and throw it again and again. When you throw it out, say to it: "Get the ball back." When it comes back with the ball in its mouth, say: "Bring it here." Keep some food in your pocket, and when it comes closer, throw it in. It came a little closer and said, "Eat it." When it saw the reward, it walked over and put down the ball in order to get the rewarded food.

You can also use other objects instead of the ball and shout: "Bring a stick, bring a newspaper, bring a basket, bring a school bag" and so on. Soon, it will understand the difference between them, and at the same time, start to learn a new command: "Take away" to let the dog take things with you.

The process of completing the action of "taking away" is: when it retrieves the object, say: "take it away", and then lead it forward. After it takes a few steps with the item, give it some reward. Each time you walk away, you need to extend the distance and repeat this training.
