You need to cook for it in different ways. It has no appetite and may even have to be fed by hand.

Today, you didn’t take it out or play with the toys it brought and it yelled at you.

When you are alone at home, your neighbors will call 110 because they can’t stand the howling.

As soon as he got home, he gave me a fierce hug and a passionate kiss.

It first rushes out of the house, then drags you downstairs, and finally drags you to complete the entire walking process.

Ignore your calls when playing with other puppies.

I chased it for half an hour before I caught it. After a lesson, I will still be determined next time.

Will quarrel or even get physical with children, and ignore your discipline.

It occupies the sofa and the bed.

Show you its beautiful teeth when you touch its food or toys.

I won’t turn over and let you touch me.

Yelling or even being violent to guests.

If your answer is mostly: "Yes", then the owner should pay attention. Your dog has regarded itself as the ruler of the home and needs to be well trained. Once the owner realizes that it has lost its majesty and wants to take back the dominance, Often it is found that this is not an easy task.

2. Why should we train our dogs?

Training is a must. You don’t mind it yelling, urinating everywhere, or destroying furniture. Don’t you mind the reproachful eyes of your neighbors and the wary eyes of the neighbor’s dog owners?

Training allows the dog to understand its status in the family, what it can and cannot do at home, learn the rules for going out, and how to get along with other dogs. When a dog comes to a strange family, it will start a new life. They need to train it so that it can better adapt to family life. For pet dogs, we do not need to carry out formal work training, but family training is very necessary training.

Of course, the owner cannot make many house rules that the dog cannot comply with, or make capricious demands on your dog.One principle to grasp during training is to communicate in a way that the dog can understand, otherwise you will confuse the dog.

The first is the issue of picky eaters. If the dog refuses to eat obediently, it will definitely make the owner very anxious. However, dogs are deliberately picky eaters just to beg their owners to give more meat or snacks. At this time, if the owner relents, then It’s easy for dogs to develop picky eating habits. If things go on like this, the dog will become "eat meat". Although giving the dog something good to eat may not be a big deal for the owner, and it is not a big expense, it is very bad for the dog's health.

It is also very important to refuse food outdoors. Summer is about to begin. Rat poison, cockroach poison scattered on the roadside, and meat poisoned by some people with ulterior motives are also very important. If your baby does not have the habit of refusing food outdoors, once he eats these poisons If you go down, you will be poisoned or even killed. If your dog doesn’t have the habit of refusing to eat outside, these poisons and some bones will endanger your baby’s life! Parallel to the problem of refusing to eat is the problem of baby’s food protection. When you find that your dog has eaten something that shouldn’t be If you want to snatch the food from their mouths, but they grin at you because they are protecting the food, then you must train it well.

Many owners don’t hold the leash because their dogs don’t like the leash. Some dogs even run away when their owners take out the leash. Wearing a leash when going out is a commonplace issue. Every day, how many dogs in China are lost or stolen because they are not on a leash. If you feel that your dog does not like wearing a leash, then leash training is also very necessary.

In addition, there is also the toilet training of dogs. Although this will not affect the physical health of the dog, in order for the dog to have a good living habit, the owner still needs to be patient and train it. In fact, most owners hope that their babies will be healthy, and they do not need to know many small skills. We also train dogs in an encouraging way. While training dogs, we can also improve the relationship between dogs and humans. Feelings. Dogs are social animals, and establishing the status of the owner in the dog's heart is also an important lesson in dog socialization. It’s just that the training must be done properly, and you must make sure that the training will not harm the dog’s health before it can be carried out.

Only by looking at their nature can the effect of changing their behavior be achieved. For example, the world of dogs attaches great importance to order. Their class concept is to follow the boss who is stronger than themselves., A strong person makes the dog more secure to rely on. Only when the owner becomes the boss can he effectively control the dog.
