The skill of holding things includes several links. One is to hold keys, newspapers, shoes and other special items. Dogs generally don't grab things they don't like or take the initiative to grab slippers. Biting slippers is a bad habit. Biting slippers does not mean being consciously naughty.
The second link is to go to the designated place (such as running to the owner) and put down shoes and other items. Some dogs bite, but they don't give it to their owners. Instead, they run around or run under the bed. This is all a problem in the process of spitting.
Then let's take a look at the first step of how to train it to take things. This step is mainly to let the dog put the specified thing in his mouth. Take slippers as an example. Let the dog sit down first, then put the slippers in the dog's mouth. Some dogs will refuse to hold the slippers at first, so you should gently press the dog's back jaw with your hand, gradually press its lower jaw (the back half of its mouth), let its teeth open and put the shoes in. I don't like to break the dog's mouth hard because it is unsanitary and easy to hurt the dog's lips, although many veterinarians like to break it hard.
Then hold the dog's upper and lower mouths with one hand, and put the other hand on its mouth. It is important to hold the dog for as long as possible, and it is also important to say the "bite, bite" password to him, because the dog will complete the specified task when issuing the password in the future, so the password should be simple and clear. Let him hold it and give the password like a trainer. When the dog is disobedient and refuses to bite the specified thing, it should be reprimanded. When he can finish the task and put something in his mouth for a while, he should be rewarded immediately. At first, we should use more material rewards, that is, give him favorite food, but gradually increase spiritual rewards with praise and caress. Finally, gradually reduce the material rewards and reach a slogan, and he immediately curbed things and succeeded.
What should be noted here is that rewards and punishments should be quick. When a dog does well, it should be rewarded immediately, and when it does wrong, it should be punished immediately. This will work!
In addition, the training should be combined with labor and clothing, and the training time should be fixed. Generally, the training time is 30 minutes every day, otherwise the dog will be very tired. If the dog is found to be inattentive, let him have a rest and play for a while. Don't push him, the effect of training every day is much better than training for a long time at once.
When the dog learns to take things, you say to it, "Take it!" " "He began to take the initiative to pick up what you want, and the first step was a success.
Next, we should train him to run with something in his mouth. After the dog picks up something, you call it over, and it often spits out and comes back. So you can't get the service you requested. So continue to use two stimulating principles, let him bring things, throw them away halfway, and encourage him when he makes progress, such as running a short distance.
The last stage is to train him to spit things out and put them in front of you, because the dog will depend on it after learning to hang things, and will hang things and not return them to you, or play by himself. You should order him to spit it out, and the password of "put it down" should be clear, so that he will spit it out when he hears "put it down". Reward after completing the action.
