pet.com learned that in the competition, in addition to observing whether the dog's appearance is beautiful, the standing posture is also the key to winning. Therefore, it is necessary to train the dog in good posture at ordinary times.
Standing posture: Use the dog's fear of falling, and use a small table or a raised board for a small area and a place 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, I want to support its front chest or With the chin, the other hand gently pulls the dog's tail back. Be 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 rear foot will lose its support and is about to step in the air when it retreats, it will naturally lean forward and straighten up, the forelegs are firm, and the toes are tightened, showing a standard of straight limbs and bowed head and chest. posture. As long as this method is repeated many times, the dog will learn to reflexively assume a standard graceful posture as long as I pull the tail and pull it back, even if it is standing on a flat ground.
Sit down: This is part of the training grouped 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. When the dog sits down voluntarily under this mechanical cool, 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 you sit on the front, the right upper arm should be stretched out, the lower arm will be vertical, and the palm should be forward into an L shape; if you are asked to sit on the left side, pat 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 35 seconds until it is extended to more than 5 minutes.
Lying down: The action of lying down should be performed after the sitting action is 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 cool. At this time, under the stimulation of food and machinery, the dog can make the action of lying down. When the dog is lying down, reward it 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 sit 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 lie down. Reward with food. In the future, the dog should be trained within a certain distance, combined with gestures (left arm down, palm forward, palm down, and waving up and down) to improve the level of its actions, extend the command distance, and be able to follow the owner's password. and gestures to maintain the ability to lie down for more than 5 minutes.
Standing: When training, first make the dog sit down, then gently pull the leash, issue a stand command and gesture (extend the right arm towards the dog, palm up) when the dog stands ,Give 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 continue for a certain period of time.
Zhou Yi: On the basis of the standing action. During training, the owner stood opposite the dog and issued the stand password first, and when the dog stood firm, issued the thank you password, and at the same time grabbed the dog's forelimb with one hand and swayed up and down. After a few repetitions, give touches and food rewards. Then keep a distance from the dog, and don't use your hands to assist when issuing the password. If the dog can't do it, repeat it several times until the dog can. At the beginning of training, simple gestures can be added, but the conditioned reflex of the dog to gestures must be prevented. When the movement is very 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.
