When we bring puppies from the pet store or a friend's house, are we worried about establishing a relationship with dog? , Will the dog think that I am fierce, or how do I take care of her, so that he will let me approach and not bark at me? I have been thinking about how to establish a friendly and good relationship with the dog. So what can be done to build this relationship quickly and friendly?
1. Feeding
Food It is the first element in the normal survival of the canine organism. Whoever gives the dog food gives the dog life, and the dog must obey. Therefore, the trainer must insist on feeding the dog to meet the dog's first needs, so that the dog's attachment will not be weakened by the temptation of feeding by others.
2. Scattering
Dogs who have lived in captivity for a long time are very eager to obtain opportunities for free movement, which is the free reflex of dogs. After receiving the dog, the trainer should adhere to a certain number of scattered exercises every day. One is to make the dog eliminate urine and urine, keep the kennel clean and hygienic, and the other is to give the dog the opportunity to develop and grow normally. The third is to make the dog familiar with the trainer, so as to have a strong attachment to the trainer.
3. Comb brushes
Comb brushes can clean the dog body, exercise the skin, promote blood circulation, eliminate fatigue, prevent the reproduction of parasites and prevent skin diseases and so on. From the point of view of affinity, it can eliminate the dog's defensive response or fear response to the trainer and increase the sensitivity of the dog's skin. Therefore, the trainer often brushes the dog from front to back, from top to bottom, in the direction of the coat growth.
4. Calling by name
Each dog has its own name. When the trainer contacts her, the dog must be accustomed to calling by name as soon as possible. . Dogs are 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 lateral ear response. At this point, the trainer should feed it or take it loose. After repeated repetitions regularly, a neural connection such as calling-attention (side ear)-food will be formed. At this time, the trainer's calling of the dog's name has the function of an instructive signal, and the dog is accustomed to calling by name, and responds with the behavior of listening to his call. Here, the most common mistake trainers make is: no matter what the occasion, what time, always put the dog's name on their lips, as long as the dog is in the hand or around. This kind of error can easily make the dog inhibit and not listen to the call, even if each call can be rewarded.
5, Good and Food Rewards .
The Good password requires a normal tone or a reward tone and is used in conjunction with delicious food . After many trainings, the good password can become a conditioned stimulus and can be used as a substitute for delicious food.
The good password is not something that can be used casually. It is usually used when the dog has completed or is completing an action according to the trainer's intention. Some trainers also give a good password 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 command and complete the action specified by the trainer, which is actually not achieved. On the contrary, it will deepen the dog's problem of ignoring the issued password. The same is true for the use of rewards for delicious food. Many trainers are afraid that the dog will not listen to his instructions, and give the reward food when they give an order, often making the dog get the reward food for no reason. As a result, the dog feels that the reward food is too easy, and eventually becomes accustomed to it, so that the food loses its due effect. . Therefore, food rewards should only be used if the dog correctly responds to the trainer's intentions and performs the correct actions.
6. Patting
Patting is stroking and lightly beating all parts of the dog's body, especially the dog's head, shoulders and chest, so that the It is an unconditioned stimulus and reward that the dog feels comfortable. It is usually used in combination with the good password. It should be noted that the force of the beating should not be too large, otherwise the dog will feel pain and become a mechanical stimulus. When petting the dog, in addition to letting the dog stand to receive the pet, you can also let the dog sit and receive the pet. At the same time, the trainer can also hold the dog's front paw and shake it up and down, so that the dog feels very comfortable and has a certain playful nature, so that the perfect patting effect can be received.
7. Play
Dogs like to play with each other. The trainer can take advantage of the dog's nature to play with the dog. There are various ways to play with the dog. You can lead the dog to run back and forth, or you can still tease the dog with the dog, or tease the dog with a reward, etc., which will always make the dog in a state of relative excitement, which will lead to a strong attachment to the trainer. sex. When playing, a good password usually occurs to encourage the dog, making the play colorful and fun. Special attention should be paid to not allowing excessive dog-to-dog play.
8. Hiding.
Hiding is also a means of cultivating the dog's attachment to the trainer, and also checking the dog's strong attachment to the trainer A weak method, when the trainer hides inadvertently by the dog, the dog may show impatience, panic and running back and forth at the beginning. At this time, the trainer should help the dog by calling his name. When the dog finds a trainer, the trainer should be enthusiastic and give a good reward. With multiple training sessions, the dog will eliminate irritability and panic, while being able to quickly find the trainer by smell. Another way to hide is to ask the trainer to help hold the dog. The trainer, alone or together with 1~3 other trainers, hides in multiple directions quickly in front of the dog, and keeps calling the dog's name. In order to test the training dog's voice and walking posture and discrimination ability to the trainer.
