Reasons for training dogs to move forward

"Forward training" is trained for some dogs that are more "clingy". Some dogs cling to their owners' feet as soon as they go out, and they will step on them if they don't stop. Some dogs even want to hug their owners and stay still as soon as they go out. Therefore, it is necessary to train the dog to walk forward boldly on his own.

Method 1 of training a dog to move forward: Use the target ahead

1. Let the dog sit down first, and then the owner points to a target ahead with gestures. Be careful not to be too far away, about 50 meters. For example: a small tree, a telephone pole in front, and the command to move forward at the same time. When the dog wants to enter, push the dog forward and move forward together with the dog.
2. When the dog takes a few steps forward and wants to stop, the owner should repeat the command and gestures in time, and use expulsion movements to urge the dog forward, but the owner should never run in front of the dog.
3. As long as the dog can run forward, reward it with the "good" command in time. Go forward about 50 meters, make the dog lie down, and then reward it. Repeat training according to this method and gradually extend the distance between you and the dog until the dog can smoothly move forward more than 50 meters according to the command.

Method 2 of training a dog to move forward: Use the induction method of giving fake items to train to move forward

1. First, choose a quiet environment with a straight road, let the dog sit and wait, and the owner walks about 20 meters along the road, pretending After placing the object, quickly return to the right side of the dog, hold the dog's collar with your left hand, and direct the dog to move forward with commands and gestures.
2. When the dog advances to the place where the object is placed, ask the dog to lie down. The owner should quickly follow up, walk to the dog, and reward it.
3. After repeated training, gradually extend the distance of the fake items to about 50 meters, and make the dog move forward. When your dog can move forward smoothly and reach the above distance. You can reduce or cancel the action of pretending to deliver items, and only use commands and gestures to direct the dog to move forward.
4. In the early stage of removing fake items, do not ask for too far distance at once. As long as the dog can advance 3-5 meters according to the command, the dog should be rewarded in time, and then gradually extend the distance to more than 50 meters. ​
