The most important thing is this Dogs are easy to train and very obedient, so when you raised an American Water Spaniel, have you thought about how to train it?

How to train the dog to sit down and keep the training leash and collar Put it on the dog, reward him with some goodies in his pocket, pull him short on the leash, say "sit down," and gently press his hands on his hind feet until he is in the correct position. Repeat "sit down", at this time let it sit all the time, and after it sits down, take away your hands, and repeat: "Don't move" "Don't move" The tone must hold it steady.

If it wants to stand up, press it back to its original position and repeat "sit" until it sits down again. Say "don't move" and slowly take your hand away. When it holds the position for nine seconds without your hand on it, happily says "Okay!" It pulls up to follow and gives it a rewarding stroke to make it feel like it's the master 's like.

Repeat this training process, usually for ten minutes of class time, teach it several times a day, and leave it at a distance while continuing to keep it still. Praise it happily: "Well done" pull it over for a reward. It'll come over soon to claim the reward, but let it wait for you to say "yes" before letting it go.

This stage is the last step, when you leave the dog, put the leash on the ground, when you reach the end of the leash, put the leash as far away as possible, repeat the command "Don't move," showing the intention to let it rest each time.

Hands are stretched out straight in front of you, without bending your elbows and slightly extending them. Point with your finger and wrist, and flick your fingers down without closing your palms. The "stay still" gesture is as follows: first stretch out your hand, slightly concave towards its nose, pinch it and release it, and put your hand on it for a while.

What the editor wants to remind is that for dogs Well, when doing training, you must keep in mind that rewards and punishments are clearly defined. You can’t criticize when you need to be rewarded, and you can’t be too forgiving when you need to criticize.
