Dog
Training a dog needs the patient guidance of its owner. If you want the dog to respond correctly according to the owner's command, you must keep the following four training points in mind during training. < br> First, inducement: < br> It is a means to use food, objects or sounds to induce a dog to do something in training, and gradually form conditioned reflex. The induced food can arouse the dog's appetite, toys and other items can also arouse the dog's excitement, so that the dog is willing to actively participate in training and learn to move faster. In the process of induction, it should be noted that dogs should be prevented from being interested in food or articles and not making accurate actions as required; Can't replace commands such as passwords or gestures with inducement; It should be used sparingly for dogs with strong excitement. < br> Second, coercion: < br> It is to force the dog to do something accurately by using mechanical stimulation and threatening tone. Coercion is mainly used in the early stage of training programs, to strengthen the formation of conditioned reflex, or to correct the wrong actions of dogs. Sometimes, when the training can't go on because of external influence, you can also use coercion to continue training. Force should be applied in a timely and moderate manner, so that the dog can be clear about the owner's intention, and be fully rewarded after making the correct action. Pet Dog Network believes that excessive compulsion can easily lead to dogs' disorientation and affect their dependence on their owners, and the result runs counter to the training purpose. < br> III. Prohibition: < br> It is an important means to prevent dogs from forming bad habits in daily life and stop their wrong behaviors in training. When forbidding dogs, the owner's attitude must be serious, and the stopping opportunity should be correctly grasped. It should be carried out immediately after the dog's wrong behavior is found to prevent the dog from misunderstanding. When dogs stop their wrong behavior, they should also be rewarded. < br> IV. Reward: < br> means to strengthen the dog's conditioned reflex, consolidate the training program and adjust the dog's nervous state. Reward the dog immediately after performing the right behavior, and it may repeat this behavior when this happens again. Rewards can be caressing (rubbing the dog's belly, stroking the head, behind the ears and chest), snacks (such as carrot slices), praising the dog for "being a good dog, being really good", allowing it to swim away, etc. At first, every time a dog completes an action, it will be rewarded. Once the dog has mastered a certain training, it only needs to be rewarded once in a while. When rewarding, the host's attitude must be amiable. Rewards need to be given carefully, and can only be given after the dog is obedient or successfully completes the specified action, otherwise the dog will become confused and don't know when to get the reward, which is not conducive to the training.
