Akita is a very common dog breed in Japan. I believe many people became interested in this kind of dog after watching the movie "Loyal Dog Hachi", but I believe you have heard in the film that few Akita dogs are as dependent on their owners as Hachi, relatively independent and difficult to train. However, doing a good job in educating dogs from an early age has a great influence on their later lives.
For dogs, 1-3 months is a critical period affecting their life, and it is also a very important socialization and domestication period. The dog's temperament is largely determined in this period. This age has a strong interest in the surrounding environment and the strongest adaptability. It is easy to establish a good relationship with human beings and cultivate a gentle character. If the dog vaccination work has been completed, then we can also take the dog out for sightseeing in peacetime. If we keep dogs at home all day, it will have a certain negative impact on dogs, and it will be good for them to get familiar with the outside world as soon as possible. Don't pretend to be a dog when you go out? Let the dog walk by himself, whether in his arms or in a dog cage. Taking a puppy out to be hugged or stroked by strangers can help it adapt to human society, so that it will not tremble when it grows up, and it will also show vigilance when it sees strangers or other dogs.
Usually you can get in touch with dogs and do some subtle movements, which can promote feelings.
In fact, some small moves will also have a certain impact on dogs. For example, although stroking is a small gesture, it is very beneficial to dogs. Many people don't like picking their ears or cutting their nails, or being touched off their tails, because they didn't form the habit of being touched since childhood, but because of their instinct to protect their fragile parts. If dogs are fierce and don't let people touch them, you can also use dog food to help with training. When feeding them dog food, you can touch their bodies at the same time, so that dogs can learn that they can eat dog food as long as someone touches their bodies. When their bodies are touched, something good will happen, and the forbidden area will be opened.
Most people think that dogs should learn from their mistakes if they don't obey. This is actually a wrong idea. Beating and cursing will only make dogs "hostile" and "scared". Moreover, it will only remember the fact of being beaten but not the reason. Appropriate blame, coupled with neglect, may have a good effect.
In addition to mastering leadership, praise is also very important in the training process. If the dog is doing well, it is necessary to directly praise you for doing well! Dogs with strong obedience instinct will think that their master praised me, and they will be praised by their master next time, so they will work harder. The combination of kindness and prestige can complement each other. When training dogs to obey completely, immediately say great, touch their chin, which will make them feel happy and help further training.
These are training tips designed according to the dog's nature. Making your dog more obedient is definitely the key to success, but if the puppy is arrogant and disobedient because of ignorance and doting, even the caring owner will have a day. Some dogs may be indifferent, but this may be just a matter of personality, and Akita dogs are the same, but as long as their owners devote themselves wholeheartedly, dogs will also feel dependent on themselves and be close to themselves.
