2021-07-02 / 829 Read

Before doing dog training (especially for a new dog), the dog owner should first let the dog like and trust you, so as to eliminate the strangeness as soon as possible. So how do you get a dog to like you? The easiest way: petting. Touching is the easiest way to convey your gratitude and love.

How

Step 1: The initial action must be gentle. The owner can sit on the ground first and let the dog lie on the lap. And start stroking it as you get acquainted with your scent. Go down the back first, then try to feel the front paws, abdomen and hind legs and tail.

Step 2: After the dog gets used to it, you can touch the dog's chin. Note that the movements should be gentle, and at the same time, see if the dog reacts impatiently, such as erecting his ears. At this time, pause first to prevent the dog from biting in anger.

Step 3: If the dog is used to petting, you can try to do some closer tests, such as opening the dog's mouth. If this process does not go well, you can and give food to attract its attention.

Finally, the puppy can be picked up. First put one hand around its chest and front legs to keep it from moving, and support its hips with the other. If your dog struggles when you pick it up, don't stand up too fast, it will feel like you are going to be uncomfortable doing an elevator too fast. After his feet are off the ground, try to hold him in your arms, so he will feel more secure!

Tips:

1. At the beginning Try to stay at the same height as your puppy so it can stand or lie down naturally. Don't hold it too hard. Food and soft talking can distract it from the tension. Practice a lot, at least once a day.

2. Every dog will have its very sensitive parts. When you touch it, it will twist its body or have other resistance behaviors. At this time, you can use food to attract its attention, Gently stroke its sensitive areas on one side until it gets used to it.
