Pounce and bite training is not used by ordinary dogs, nor can it be used. Pounce and bite is something that every dog ​​can do, and because of this, the dog can easily get out of control and bite others. But if the dog is a housekeeper, see If you see a bad person or a police dog, you need to train the dog so that it can obey the command and bite!

Before training a dog, it is necessary to slowly develop its alertness, which is to form a directional reflex to external stimuli, followed by hostility. Then during the training process, you should find a quiet and spacious place to eliminate external interference to the dog to prevent it from affecting the dog's training.

When training a dog to bite, safety protection must be done beforehand. At the same time, necessary auxiliary training items should also be prepared, such as traction ropes, towels, worn foreign objects, wooden sticks, biting objects, etc. If you are training your dog to bite people, you must be safe and wear protective sleeves.

During the training process, try to tease the dog so that it can give the bite command when it is in an excited state. At the same time, to stimulate the dog's natural desire to hunt, you can use food to lure and stimulate the dog to show a strong desire to obtain, and then give the order to bite, loosen the dog's leash, and let it pounce. Target.

The dog is required to be able to bite the designated person according to the command and gesture, and it is required to be active and brave when biting, move quickly and agilely, obey the command, and be able to accurately bite the opponent's right hand.

Password: "Qiu", "Bite", "Release".

Gesture: The right hand points to bite the target.

The main unconditioned stimulus is the trainer's challenge.

The first step: mainly cultivate the dog’s courage and hatred.

Method 1:

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the dog is resting in the kennel, the assistant trainer pretends to be a stranger and approaches the dog from far to near with weird and panic movements or makes sounds to attract the dog's attention. And tease the dog about 5 meters away from the kennel. In the early stage, the purpose is to arouse alertness. After several times of teasing, when the dog becomes alert or wants to bite the assistant trainer who appears within a certain distance, the assistant trainer can start to feint attack on the dog to stimulate the dog. of hostility and active defensive responses. This kind of training can be carried out 2-3 times a day until the dog can bark and pounce in the kennel when the assistant trainer appears, trying to rush out of the kennel and attack.

Note:

[1] When the assistant trainer is provoking, the trainer does not need to be present to avoid distracting the dog’s attention. After training, enter the kennel and reward the dog.

[2] This kind of training can be done with any number of dogs. But in the initial training, there are many dogsIt's better to encourage each other and imitate. However, dogs must be housed together to avoid fighting with each other.

[3] Training can be carried out at different times during the day and night, and do not form a fixed time and pattern.

[4] Assistant trainers should pay attention to the behavior of each dog so that they can be treated separately.

Method 2:

Choose a training venue with little novelty and excitement, and the assistant trainers should wear protective gear and hide in the training venue in advance. The trainer leads the dog to the training ground, 20 meters away from the assistant trainer's hiding place, and asks the dog to sit down in the direction where the assistant trainer appears. The trainer issues the "hill" command to the dog and points with his right hand in the direction that the dog pays attention to. At this time, the assistant trainer can make random noises in the hidden place to arouse the dog's alertness. When the dog becomes alert, he will hold a rag or a soft tree stick, emerge from the hiding place, and approach with sneaky movements while teasing. If the dog is timid, move closer. If the dog is timid, move farther away. Try to arouse the dog's hatred, so that the dog dares to bark and pounce. While the assistant trainer is teasing the dog, the trainer holds the dog tightly and keeps it in place, giving the "bite" command repeatedly, and encouraging the dog to attack the assistant trainer. However, the dog should not be allowed to chase and bite the assistant trainer at this time. , the purpose is to make the dog work hard. After the two sides have been in a stalemate for a period of time, the assistant trainer begins to make concessions as appropriate for fear of retreat, and gradually retreats to the original hiding place. When the assistant trainer is retreating, the trainer can lead the dog and follow him, giving the "bite" command and rewarding him with the "good" command. When the dog cannot see the assistant trainer, take the dog back to the original place. After the dog calms down a little, continue training according to the above method. Through this kind of training, the dog should be able to express a strong hatred towards the assistant trainer who appears, and take the initiative to attack and bite the assistant trainer, such as swooping, barking, gnashing its teeth, and being tireless.

Note:

[1] Single dogs or group dogs can be trained, but the effect of group dogs is better. However, as the effect improves, the number of dogs should be gradually reduced until single dog training is carried out.

[2] Initial training can be carried out twice a day, and each training can be repeated 2-3 times. However, attention should be paid to changes in the dog's physical strength and excitement. If the dog's physical strength or excitement is not good, it should be reduced. Training too much or for a long time will reduce the training effect.

[3] The training venue must be changed frequently. When training at the same venue, the hiding place of the assistant trainer must also be changed frequently, so that the dog can be trained to maintain a high degree of vigilance against suspicious elements anytime and anywhere. While cultivating alertness and ferocity, we must also pay attention to cultivating the dog's obedience in bite training. The dog cannot be allowed to attack anyone at will. It can only be wary of strangers.

Note:

[1] Each training can be repeated once or twice according to the specific situation until the dog forms a conditioned reflex to the "bite" and "release" commands. In the future, the training can be reduced.

[2] During training, we should focus on cultivating the dog's hatred towards the bite target and preventing the dog from developing a bad relationship of biting the guard. In addition to bite training, you should not use the protective sleeve to play with the dog or let the dog bite and play at will.

The second step is to train the dog’s pursuit ability.

Choose an open and quiet venue. The trainer and the assistant trainer are 30-50 meters apart and each is well hidden. When the assistant trainer sees the trainer's dog appearing, he puts on protective sleeves and takes sneaky and circuitous actions to gradually approach the dog. This will The trainer should promptly instruct the dog to pay attention to the assistant trainer's actions. When the distance is about 15 meters, the trainer shouts "stop" to the assistant trainer. After the assistant trainer hears the sound, he quickly runs away in the opposite direction, teasing and waiting while running. When the dog catches up, he must let the dog obey. Hold on to the running momentum and then fight. When the dog is chasing, the trainer should follow closely and constantly encourage the dog. After several times of training, when you can chase without any scruples, you can gradually extend the hunting distance to train the dog's ability to run long distances and fight independently. During training, sometimes the assistant trainer can be asked to run 100 meters before releasing the dog to pursue. The pursuit distance can be extended to about 200 meters. When the dog is chasing, the trainer will follow the dog irregularly, sometimes following closely, and sometimes being the dog. Go after biting the assistant trainer. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the training of commanding the dog to release its mouth from a distance. In order to effectively control the dog, it can be mastered by combining the stimulation of pulling the training rope. When the dog can hear the command and let go, gradually release the training rope. When the dog lets go, the dog can be made to sit down and watch or come over and be rewarded. In order to meet the actual needs of dealing with violent cases, multiple dogs should also be trained to hunt together. The method is to select 2-3 dogs that do not bite each other on the basis of single dog hunting, and hunt the same person together or hunt two assistants separately. However, before hunting, the dogs must be clear about the target and first Release one dog to chase, wait until the dog pounces and bite, and then release the other dogs.

Note:

[1] From the beginning of training, the dog must always bite the right arm. The whip used by the assistant trainer is not to actually beat the dog, but to exercise the dog's fighting skills. After the dog bites the right arm, use the whip of the left hand to whip the dog's right side hard and lightly. In order to avoid the whipping, the dog will inevitably dodge to the right side, and the assistant trainer uses the force to drive the dog to rotate. In this way, after several trainings, the dog will be able to bite the right arm and then automatically and violently rotate outwards, thus placing the bitten person in an extremely passive position.

[2] When training begins, the assistant trainer should adapt to the dog’s movements, and the posture can be slightly lower.This will make it easier for the dog to bite quickly. As the dog's ability to bite increases, the posture should return to normal to exercise the dog's ability to lunge upward and enhance the deterrent power of the bite. If the assistant trainer always adopts a low posture, it is likely that the dog will develop the habit of biting the lower limbs or feet.

[3] In order to cultivate the dog's strong fighting ability, the assistant trainer should master a principle, which is based on the dog's actual ability to bite, starting from fake hitting to real hitting, and starting from light hitting to heavy hitting. But in the end, the dog must win, not let it end in defeat.

The third step is to train the dog to bite in actual combat.

On the basis that the dog dares to bravely bite the assistant trainer who wears protective gear, and then combined with the needs of actual combat, the dog can then conduct bite training for the assistant trainer who does not wear protective gear. However, the dog should wear a muzzle or the handler should wear a concealed protective gear. As long as the dog dares to bite, stop it in time. Do not bite more and it is not appropriate to train too much. In addition, training the dog to pass various obstacles in pursuit cannot be ignored. The dog's ability to attack and bite is limited if used alone. It should be trained in conjunction with tracking, hunting and other operations, so that this ability can be integrated with various operational abilities to become a more complete ability. If conditions permit, allowing dogs to participate in actual combat is the most practical exercise. This can not only test the effectiveness of the training, but also deepen the training, because the various conditions envisioned in the training are often different from the actual conditions used on site. Only by regularly participating in actual combat exercises can we gain experience and lessons, and thus improve and improve.
