The purpose of training dogs is to make them develop good eating and hygiene habits, which is convenient for feeding and management; The Lord and family bring fun. The training subjects are simple and easy to do. 1. Training dogs to be obedient Dogs do not understand what people say or the meaning of every word, but they are very sensitive to people's tone and gestures. Therefore, when training dogs to be obedient, they must use a firm tone and cooperate with hand movements. For example, dogs raised at home will bark when they hear someone moving outside the door. This is not only an impolite behavior, but also affects Family rest. At this time, you should immediately hold the dog's mouth with your hand, and at the same time, in a very positive tone, shake your head and say no. After several trainings, it will understand that it is wrong to bark like this. Some dog owners dote on their dogs, do not take a firm tone to correct this situation, but gently stroke the dog with their hands and say softly don't be so naughty, which makes the dog easy to misunderstand that the owner is encouraging it. Whether it is praise or prohibition, it must be done on the spot; 2. Train dogs to defecate at a fixed location Dogs spend most of their time indoors. If they defecate anywhere, it will bring a lot of trouble to the owner, not only affecting hygiene, but also over time It will also make people feel bored and lose confidence in raising dogs. Therefore, training dogs to defecate in a fixed place is very important for the hygiene of the family or social public places. This kind of training is best started with puppies. Because puppies have poor ability to control defecation before the age of 3-4 months, they will urinate anywhere after the bladder is full of urine, or when they encounter stimulation and disturbance. The training method is: put a bedpan at a certain place, put old newspapers in it, and put some sand or ash on it, and within a certain period of time (such as after feeding, after getting up in the morning, before going to bed at night) ) Lead the dog to a place with a potty. If the dog can defecate in the potty, the trainer should give the dog a petting gesture or a food reward. Sometimes the dog does not necessarily have to defecate within this time, and it does not matter, let it go after a certain period of time. If you find that the dog does not defecate at the designated place, you should give it a severe reprimand after it is finished, let it know that you don't like it, and then take it to the designated place to defecate. After patient training and adjustment, the dog can gradually develop the habit of defecation in a fixed place. During training, it should be noted that the bedpan cannot be moved, and some sand after the last defecation should be left, so that the dog can find the place to defecate by smell. In addition, when dogs go out, they have the habit of urinating on the side of the road to mark them. This is the nature of dogs, and it is necessary to distinguish them from urinating and urinating everywhere. However, on city streets, this habit of dogs is also harmful to hygiene. Therefore, when the dog owner leads the dog out, he must wear a collar and guide it with a leash. If you can train the dog to go to the toilet to defecate, it is the most ideal. 3. Training dogs to pose beautifully At present, the exhibition and evaluation of famous dogs has been held in China, which puts forward higher requirements for dog lovers. In the evaluation, in addition to observing whether the dog's appearance is beautiful, the standing posture is also the key to winning. Therefore, it is usually necessary to train the dog to put on a good posture. For this reason, the dog's fear of falling can be used, and a small table or a raised wooden board can be used in a place with a small area and higher than the ground. First, hold the dog on the small table, let its hind legs be close to the edge of the small table, and let go of the hand. Because the dog is afraid of falling, its limbs become weak and want to lie down. At this time, we need to support its front with one hand. On the chest or chin, the other hand gently pulls the dog's tail back, being careful not to pull only the tail hair, so as not to cause pain. The hand holding the front chest is also pushed back together, so that the dog cannot sit down. When the dog finds that the back foot is about to lose its support, and when it is about to step back, it will instinctively lean forward and straighten up, the forelegs are solid, and the toes are tightened, showing a standard of straight limbs and high chest. posture. As long as this method is repeated many times, the dog can learn that even if it is standing on the flat ground, as long as we pull the tail and pull it back, the dog will reflexively assume a standard graceful posture. 4. Sit down This is a content that is combined with other subjects. The trained dog is required to sit down quickly and correctly after hearing the command, and to persist for a certain period of time. During training, let the dog stand on the left side of the owner, while issuing the sit password, raise the collar with the right hand and press the dog's waist with the left hand (see picture). When the dog is forced to sit down under this mechanical stimulation, it should be rewarded immediately. After repeated training, the dog can develop the action of sitting down. On this basis, combine gestures for training. If the person sits on the front, the right upper arm is stretched forward, the lower arm is vertical, and the palm is forward in an L shape; if the left side is seated, tap the left abdomen with the left hand. If the dog has been able to do the sitting action, it should be gradually trained to extend the sitting time, from being able to sit for 3-5 seconds until it is extended to more than 5 minutes. 5. Lying down The action of lying down should be performed after the sitting action has been learned. During training, two methods can be used: First, the owner is on the right side of the dog, facing the dog, holding the food with the right hand, slowly moving downward from the top of the dog's mouth, at the same time issuing the command to lie down, and pulling the leash downward. , to stimulate. At this time, under the food and mechanical stimulation, the dog can make the action of lying down. When the dog is lying down, it can be rewarded with food in time. Later, with the formation of conditioned reflexes, the rewards and stimuli are gradually cancelled. Another method is to let the dog down, the owner should squat down, hold the dog's two front limbs with both hands, stretch forward, and press the dog's shoulder blade with the left arm, the dog will be trained within a certain distance, combined with gestures, to Improve the level of its action, extend the command distance, and be able to lie down for more than 5 minutes according to the master's commands and gestures. 6. Standing During training, first make the dog sit down, then gently pull the leash, and issue a stand command and gesture (extend the right arm towards the dog, palm up), when the dog After standing, give a reward. The owner should gradually leave the dog's side to make the dog stand longer. On this basis, gradually develop the ability to stand by gestures or passwords and last for a certain period of time. 7. Bowing On the basis of the standing action. During training, the owner stands opposite the dog, first issue the stand password, when the dog stands firm, issue the thank you password, at the same time grab the dog's forelimb with one hand and swing it up and down. After repeating several times, give petting and food reward. Then keep a distance from the dog, and don't use your hands to assist when issuing the command. If the dog can't do it, repeat it several times until the dog can do it. At the beginning of the training, you can add some simple Gestures, but to prevent the dog's conditioned reflexes to gestures. When the action is stable, as long as the thank you password is issued, the series of reflex activities of standing and bowing will be completed in one go, without the need to issue the password twice.
