Training period: 60 minutes * 40 times

The first step: Search for items when the dog successfully When an item is found and retrieved, instruct it to return to the training site to search for other items that may be present. When the dog is searching, the dog owner should always be outside the training ground. Although the dog is not under any restraint during the search, it must always act under the dog owner's command. Search training should only be performed if the dog has achieved good standards in the fetch training. At the beginning of the training, choose a field covered with grass or other plants of suitable height, and place an object that has fully absorbed the smell about 10 steps away from the dog. After returning to the dog, just like in the fetching training, issue the password of bringing. Since the item is hidden in a deep plant, the dog needs to use the sense of smell in addition to the use of sight. ability. When it starts searching, soft encouragement should be given.

Step 2: To place 2 items in the arena, although the dog does not see the placed items, the dog finds one of them and takes it back to yours When the time comes, you should immediately put it into the field to search for another item again. If the dog is unwilling to enter the field to search for the second item, you should accompany the dog to search and help it as much as possible. As the training progresses, the number of items should be gradually increased, and eventually the dog should be able to search and find at least 6 items that have absorbed scents for several minutes, thrown people or placed in the specified field. Items can be made of wood, leashes, rubber, cloth, plastic or metal, but not glass or anything else that could harm your dog.

Step 3: In this training, it is not easy to keep the dog in the field to search, because the dog does not know when to cross the field , so a day order is needed to keep it searched in the field. Instruct the dog to return to the arena with the command go until it turns its head away. Whenever the dog turns back automatically, issue this command to let it understand its meaning, so that it can finally be aligned with the action of turning back to the field. When the dog leaves the designated area, many dog owners mistakenly issue the NO password, which is very inappropriate, because the password only means that the dog cannot do the opposite of the dog owner's wishes. If the dog is searching When the dog owner issues a non daily order, it is equivalent to telling it not to search. Dogs cannot have human intelligence. They don't know that they have crossed the boundaries of the specified venue, so they are reprimanded by their owners. Another training mistake is that when the dog owner is standing on the edge of the field to search, the item is often placed near the edge of the field. If the dog owner is standing too close to the item, the dog can easily walk over the item and ignore it. When entering the field to search, the dog will gradually calm down after rushing forward with his head up and running for a few meters. Therefore, it is best for the dog owner to stand about 1 meter away from the edge of the field, so that the dog can put his nose on the ground when he arrives in the field. search.

Step 4: Searching for Ungraspable Items In this training session, the dog is asked to search for and find large, difficult-to-grasp objects with human odors. The dog barks when it finds the item to let the owner know that it has found the item. Use the password title. At the beginning of the training, first use a large object, such as a stone, metal, cement block, etc. to absorb the smell, put it on the training ground about 10 steps away from the dog, let it see you do this, and then return to the dog Beside him, grab the tracking rope and issue the Title password. Keep the leash long enough to control the dog and go with him to find items. At first, the dog may try to grab the object, but after a while it becomes discouraged and begins to bark. Once the dog barks, you should praise it and encourage it to bark hard. If the dog doesn't want to bark, give the bark password to encourage it to bark. When the dog gets excited and barks at the item, you pick it up and take him back to where the training started.
