Teddy Dog (details)

In the process of raising dogs, we can often think of some ways to add some fun to boring things. For example, when feeding dogs, we can let them look for food by themselves, which can not only entertain them, but also give them some exercise. But some dogs don't take the initiative to look for food, so how can we train dogs to look for food?

First of all, to train the dog to smell it, you can take some dog food or snacks that he likes to eat at ordinary times. Let the pet dog stand quietly in front of you, then put the food in front of its nose and let it smell it carefully. Be careful not to let the dog eat the food, just smell it. Then, carry the dog and put the food a few meters away. Pay attention to keeping the food in the dog's sight at the beginning of training, and then order the dog to look for the food he just smelled.

If the pet dog does it and finishes the work, then you should praise and reward it. Touch the dog, or take out some delicious food for the dog. Then, after the next training, as the dog becomes more and more familiar with the training of finding food, it can slowly put the food farther away, replace it with other foods and let the food out of the dog's sight, and then order it to look for it. Similarly, if a pet dog successfully finds food, it must be encouraged and praised.

This kind of food-seeking training is a suitable exercise mode for some obese dogs who don't like exercise, which not only achieves the effect of feeding but also gives them some exercise, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
