Methods of dog training The basic methods of dog training include reward, punishment, inducement and coercion.

(1) Rewards - Rewards are a favorite training method for dogs. Reward measures can strengthen the dog's correct actions, consolidate the developed ability, and adjust the dog's neural activity state. —— Generally speaking, it is best to use food encouragement as little as possible, because often rewarding dogs with food is easy to cause gluttony and stealing. You can use verbal praise or stroking the back of the ear, the nape of the neck, the top of the head or the lower part of the neck, The effect of this kind of spiritual reward is actually no worse than the effect of material reward.

(2) Punishment - Punishment is an effective means to stop the bad behavior of the dog. When using this means, the trainer must be serious, with a high-pitched and sharp tone. ——Severe punishments include pointing at the dog and scolding, throwing stones and books at the dog's side, and beating with a whip. Of course, they are not beatings with real swords and guns. The main purpose is to give the dog a threatening attitude. , through the nervous stimulation of its nerves, make it remember this lesson, the next is not an example. ——If the dog sneaks into the kitchen while the owner is not paying attention, and eats all the food there, the dog must be punished resolutely and never tolerated. The dog can be reintroduced to the kitchen food, facing the It yelled loudly, raised its brows with anger, and raised its stick to make a beating, making it fearful of this place and stealing, and would not repeat the same mistakes. ——If your dog is addicted to feces, you must take severe punishment to make it stop the bad habit. The direct punishment method is to put feces and other filth in front of the dog. scold, and remove the filth, and try again in the same way after a day or two, until the dog no longer eats food. ——If some dogs are pretending in front of their faces, but still have bad habits behind their backs, indirect punishment methods can be taken, picking up a stone or two and tracking them secretly. He thought it was the consequence of his own actions, and after repeating it a few times, the dog would overcome the viciousness of this quirk. Of course, there are other ways, that is, before the owner leaves, remove some strong irritating and harmless items such as chili powder from the filth that the dog eats. No longer dare to eat. - In addition, some dogs like to tear slippers, toys, towels and other objects. Once found, they should be punished mercilessly. If you don't change it after repeated teachings, and you build up a habit, you must give it a lesson or two that will penetrate the bone marrow, otherwise, it will not wake up easily.

(3) Induction - Induction refers to the use of delicious food, items, trainer's actions, etc. to induce the dog to make a certain action, thereby establishing a means of conditioned reflex. ——For example, if the dog is to learn to correctly grasp the password of come, the trainer can tease him with a piece of meat in front, and the dog will definitely come to the side obediently. At this time, Yu Wan cannot reward the dog with the meat. , then it will misunderstand your to as to eat. Repeated this many times, the dog will understand that the so-called come is a process of walking to the owner from far to near. No meat, and a few more training sessions, your dog will be sure to understand your come command without fail.

(4) Coercion - Coercion refers to a means of using mechanical stimulation and deterrent passwords to force a dog to successfully complete a certain action. The so-called mechanical stimulation refers to behaviors such as pulling the traction rope, pressing, and tapping. ——For example, if the trainer lifts the dog's collar with the right hand and presses the dog's waist with the left hand, the dog is bound to sit down. Coercive means are more direct than inducement means, and are less prone to misunderstandings, so that dogs can understand the meaning of passwords when they are forced to obey. This method is a bit simplistic and rude, and does not take into account the voluntary consciousness of the dog. But sometimes, it is generally said that teaching and reprimanding has made dogs feel accustomed and commonplace, and they don't care about the so-called hard-hearted inducement. At this time, the completion of some actions and the modification of the dog's behavior and habits must be implemented by coercive means. For example, when some dogs bully small animals in the house, and when loud reprimands are no longer helpful to it, they can give it strong stimulation to force it to make corrections, and can put food sprinkled with chili powder into the dog's mouth , and helped him put on a mask, so that under the forced stimulation, he repented and repented. This is a relatively extreme form of coercion and punishment, but it is often one of the effective measures. ——Generally speaking, the force of force should not be out of line, and only give it strong stimulation when necessary. It should not be too strong in the early stage of training, and it should be used with caution for timid dogs.
