Three, Greenland dog training elements

It is very important to listen to the owner's words, when the dog is not under his control , the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, the owner can often let the dog do some things. If he does well, he will praise him and give him prizes; if he does not do well, he must be punished appropriately to make him have the desire to win. Such training is very effective.
(2) Password and gesture instruction method
Even if the dog is smart, it cannot fully grasp the meaning of the owner. Therefore, when training, the master should formulate short and clear passwords or gestures. Every time I use passwords and gestures to guide training, the effect is very good.
