When we pick up a puppy from a pet store or a friend’s house, are we worried about establishing a relationship with the dog? We always wonder whether the dog will think I am fierce, or what should I do? Only if she takes care of him will he let me get close and not bark at me? I have always been thinking about how to establish a friendly and good relationship with dogs. So what can we do to establish this relationship quickly and friendly?

1. Feeding

Food is the first element for a dog’s normal survival. Whoever gives food to a dog gives life to the dog, and the dog must obey him. Therefore, the trainer must insist on feeding the dog himself to meet the dog’s first need so that the dog’s attachment will not be weakened by the temptation of others to feed it.

2. Scatter

Dogs that have lived in captivity for a long time are very eager to get the opportunity to move freely. This is the dog's freedom reflex. After picking up the dog, the trainer should insist on a certain number of walking exercises every day. One is to allow the dog to eliminate defecation and defecation and keep the kennel clean and sanitary, and the other is to allow the dog to have the opportunity to develop and grow normally. The third is to make the dog familiar with the trainer, thereby developing a strong attachment to the trainer.

3. Comb

Grooming has many functions such as cleaning the dog's body, exercising the skin, promoting blood circulation, eliminating fatigue, preventing parasite reproduction and preventing skin diseases. From the perspective of affinity relationship, it can eliminate the dog’s defensive or fearful response to the trainer and increase the sensitivity of the dog’s skin. Therefore, trainers often comb the dog from front to back and from top to bottom in the direction of coat growth.

4. Call by name

Each trained dog has its own name. When the trainer comes into contact with her, the dog must be accustomed to calling the name as soon as possible. The dog is not used to calling names. The dog's name is just an irrelevant stimulus signal to the dog, but every time the trainer calls the name, the sound stimulation of the name can cause the dog's "attention" response or ear-turning response. At this time, the trainer should feed it or take it for a walk. After repeating it regularly many times, a neurological connection of name-attention (ear)-food will be formed. At this time, the trainer's call to the dog's name serves as a command signal, and the dog becomes accustomed to calling the dog's name and responds by listening to his call. Here, the most common mistake that trainers make is to always put the dog's name on their lips no matter what the occasion and at any time, as long as the dog is in their hands or around them. This mistake can easily cause the dog to become inhibited and not listen to calls, even if a reward can be given every time it is called.

​5. “Good” and food rewards .

The "good" command requires using a normal tone or a reward tone, and is used in conjunction with delicious food. After many times of training, the "good" command can become a conditioned stimulus and can be used to replace delicious food.

The "ok" command is not something that can be used casually. It is usually used when the dog has completed or is completing a certain action as intended by the trainer. Some trainers give the "ok" command even when the dog does not act according to the trainer's intention. The original intention is to encourage the dog to carry out the trainer's orders and complete the actions specified by the trainer. This is actually not achieved. On the contrary, it will deepen the dog's problem of ignoring the commands given. The same principle applies to the use of delicious food as a reward. Many trainers are afraid that the dog will not listen to his instructions and will give rewards at the command. This often makes the dog wonder why the reward is received. As a result, the dog feels that the reward is too easy and eventually becomes accustomed to it, causing the food to lose its due role. . Therefore, food rewards are only used if the dog responds correctly to the trainer's intentions and performs the correct actions.

6. Patting

Patting is stroking and gently patting various parts of the dog's body, especially the dog's head, shoulders and chest, to make the dog feel comfortable. It is usually used in conjunction with the "good" command. Pay attention to patting. The force should not be too large, otherwise the dog will feel pain and become a mechanical stimulus. When petting a dog, in addition to letting the dog stand and receive the petting, the dog can also sit and receive the petting. At the same time, the trainer can also use his hands to hold the dog's front paws and shake them up and down to make the dog feel very comfortable and have a certain playful nature, so that he can receive a perfect petting effect.

7. Play

Dogs like to play with each other. Trainers can use this instinct of the dog to play with the dog. There are many ways to play with the dog. You can lead the dog to run back and forth, you can still play with the dog, or you can tease the dog with reward food, etc., so that the dog is always in a relatively excited state and develops a strong attachment to the trainer. sex. When playing, good commands usually encourage the dog, making the play lively and interesting. Special attention should be paid to not allowing too much play between dogs.

8. Hiding.

Hiding is also a way to cultivate the dog's attachment to the trainer, and it is also a way to check the strength of the dog's attachment to the trainer. When the trainer hides while the dog is not paying attention, the dog may show impatience at first. , panic and running back and forth, etc. At this time, the trainer should help the dog by calling its name. when the dog foundWhen training, the trainer should be enthusiastic and give good rewards. After repeated training, the dog will eliminate impatience and panic, and at the same time, it can quickly find the trainer through its sense of smell. Another way to hide is to ask a trainer to help hold the dog. The trainer, alone or together with 1 to 3 other trainers, quickly hides in front of the dog in multiple directions, and constantly calls the dog's name. To test the training dog's ability to distinguish the trainer's voice, walking posture and behavior.
