Chow Chow behaves particularly well in puppyhood, so many people neglect to pay for training until it is in adulthood , their character is more difficult to tame.
1) The toys for training Chow Chow are not too complicated.
Some very common items can be made into toys for Chow Chow to play with. For example: wooden blocks, large and small sponge balls, metal pipes of various sizes, chewable plastic toys, even plastic cars, toy figures, etc. In short, a variety of ordinary objects can be made into toys for dogs to play with.
2) Pay attention to the dog's psychology when playing with the Chow Chow.
The most important thing in play is for the Chow Chow puppies to win. A puppy who never wins can make a puppy lose confidence. This kind of dog is difficult to train into a qualified competition dog or working dog. Do not correct your dog's mistakes during play, as this is entertainment time. For example, play with the dog with a pull-out toy and let the puppy snat it off to make it the winner! If the Chow Chow pup returns the toy or runs to bring a toy to the handler, show excitement , and gladly give full rewards. Most Chow Chow puppies enjoy toys such as balls and sticks. Therefore, before training, you should know what the dog likes to play and prepare more. Shaking a chewable toy on a leash tends to attract the dog's attention. The peg to which the ball is attached can also be of interest to the dog.
3) Training points in the game with the Chow Chow
When you find a wooden peg suitable for the dog's body, you can tie a sponge ball at each end of the peg, and then use your hands Holding the balls at both ends and pointing your fingers at the Chow Chow puppy will guide the puppy's concentration. Be careful not to let the pegs move too fast or the Chow Chow won't keep up. Continually tease and encourage the puppies with their toys. For example, Take it, want it? Pick it up. When the puppy is picked up, the trainer will say You got it, you got it! What a dog! Great! and so on. To get the puppy to pick up the toy, keep talking to the dog while you run. When it continues, give full rewards, but do not allow the puppy to chew on play items.
Do not yank the toy out of the dog's mouth when the handler wants to retrieve it. If the Chow Chow doesn't give in, don't blame the dog, but use your thumb and forefinger to gently press the lips of the Chow Chow's lower teeth while maintaining a cheerful word for the dog to spit out. In the process of training the Chow Chow to play, the dog owner must always maintain a happy mood and not be impatient. In this way, the Chow Chow can feel that you like to play with it, so that it can be well invested in the game and enjoy the fun of being with you.
