Dogs are social animals, and it is necessary to establish a hierarchy in the group. If the owner misunderstands the dog's intention, or blindly allows it to do whatever it wants, then in the dog's eyes, it becomes the leader of the human being, of course it will not Obey the master's orders. This will cause some trouble for the owner.
Let's take a look at the following short story:
Li Lan had a large dog named Bart, when she was sitting on the sofa At that time, Bart often put his paws on her knees and looked directly at Li Lan. So, Li Lan patted its head lovingly. After that, Bart would jump on the sofa and sit beside her. Li Lan saw Bart's snuggle and thought it was cute, so he would pat his head again. At this time, Bart would lean more tightly, She was so uncomfortable that she had to make more room for Bart, and finally she had to stand up and give Bart the sofa.
This often happens, Li Lan is so squeezed that she can't do it on the sofa, and she can't even watch TV. She felt very distressed, but she didn't want to drive Bart away for fear of hurting Bart's feelings. However, Li Lan's approach actually misunderstood what Bart meant.
From the perspective of the dog's psychology, the dog jumps on the back, pushes the arch in the front, or looks directly at the owner, which are all dominant postures. When a dog puts its paw on its owner's lap to say, You are under my rule, it is a means of showing its authority if it looks directly at the owner. Many owners understand that the dog is showing love to the owner. If the owner pats it at this time, it will say to the dog Yes, I am humble, I obey your leadership.
According to Li Lan's situation, when Bart put his paw on her lap , when looking directly at her, she should say to Bart sternly: Go down, sit down!, if Bart follows the order, she should pet him or give him other rewards, and can also provide a toy or dog chew for Bart to consume Depressed. In this way, the embarrassing situation above will not occur.
So how to establish the authority of the owner? The best learning period for dogs is the puppy period from March to June, and the owner should start training during this period, as follows:
1. Don't allow the puppy to jump on the back or push the arch in the front, don't push the dog away or yell, just walk away and ignore it.
2. Feed the puppy after the whole family has eaten.
3. Put your hand in the dog bowl while the dog is eating.
4. Have the puppy be the last to go out after everyone else.
5. Allow the puppy to sit or obey other commands before giving it pleasurable pleasures such as food, hugs, walks, or play.
