Three steps to train a butterfly dog:

1. Forced

A method in which the owner uses mechanical stimulation and threatening tone commands to force the dog to perform corresponding actions accurately. Forced training is mainly used in initial training to strengthen the formation of conditioned reflexes. Under the influence of external incentives, when the dog cannot smoothly follow the commands and gestures, forced methods can also be used. This method must be combined with rewards, that is, every time the dog is forced to perform correct actions, sufficient rewards must be given.

2. Induction

It is a means for owners to use the dog's favorite food and items to induce the dog to perform certain actions, or to use the dog's spontaneous actions in combination with commands and gestures to establish conditioned reflexes or enhance the training effect.

3. Rewards

A method used to strengthen the dog's correct movements, consolidate the dog's developed behavior, and adjust the dog's nervous state. Reward methods include feeding food, petting, playing, and verbal praise of "good". Rewards are extremely important in dog training, but they must be used correctly, otherwise, good results will not be achieved. In dog training, the principle of "step by step, from simple to complex, adapting to the dog's conditions, and treating them individually" must be followed. You must be careful and patient.

Things to note when training Papillon dogs:

1. No more than 5 minutes each time, several times a day.

2. Choose appropriate reward snacks, but they can only be used during training.

3. Gradually replace food rewards with verbal praise.

4. Be patient when training and don’t rush.

5. The learning process is always enjoyable and interesting.

6. Use the same passwords and gestures every time. The passwords should be short and the gestures should be clear.

7. Choose the appropriate training time, such as before meals and after defecation.

8. Avoid distractions around your Papillon.

9. Eye contact and body language are very important.

10. Frequent practice and review are the eternal principles
