Dog training cannot be successful at one time, sometimes dozens or even hundreds of times, depending on the difficulty. Generally, it is necessary to go from easy to difficult, and then from shallow to deep; Some combination movements need to be trained separately and then combined. When an elephant bows and cries, there are three steps: standing, waving and barking.
Training is divided into the following three processes:
The first stage is training in a quiet environment. Use words and gestures to guide the dog to do the required actions. Reward will be given when it is finished.
The second stage is to train in the former way in a slightly complicated environment (such as when others are present). If you can complete the action, you should reduce the reflex conditions except the reward (for example, only give the password without gestures) until the action is completed.
The third stage is to issue passwords in complex environments (such as places where there are many pedestrians or other dogs) until it is completed.
It varies from dog to dog and from waiter to waiter.
Although the physical structure and living habits of dogs are roughly the same, their personalities are quite different. These differences determine the success or failure of training. If you don't understand the dog's personality, blind training is likely to accomplish nothing:
1. Excited dogs are characterized by excitability, which should be used and mobilized, and at the same time, their restraint should be cultivated.
2. Active dog This kind of dog is characterized by strong excitability inhibition, flexible conversion, and rapid formation of excitability inhibition reflex during training. Improper training methods can easily lead to bad connections, so we should pay special attention to the means and adopt corresponding methods.
3. Quiet dogs This kind of dog is not easy to get excited and often adapts to different environments, but the reflex from static to dynamic is slow to establish and should be cultivated.
4. Passive defensive reactive dog This kind of dog is characterized by being easily frightened, showing strong punishment and reprimand in training, and often trying to escape. Therefore, when training, you should have a good attitude and reward more, especially pay attention to awe. Dogs that are only afraid of animals can be "treated" for fear after completing the first stage of training.
This absent-minded dog is easily influenced by environmental changes in training. For this type of dog, you should be familiar with the field before training. Get in touch with the new environment at ordinary times and increase the time and place to walk the dog.
6. Dogs with strong food response This kind of dog is easy to accept food rewards, and food can mobilize enthusiasm and consolidate training results. But if you are a police dog, you should also increase your training in detaining other people's food.
7. Fierce and aggressive dogs This kind of dog is basically a highly excited dog. It is necessary to properly strengthen mechanical stimulation and exert its inhibitory process.
In management training, we should be strict, strengthen attachment, obedience and biting training, and give full play to their strengths. But it is necessary to prevent people and animals from biting. For a few fierce and timid dogs, it is necessary to strengthen exercise to prevent excessive stimulation, so that dogs gradually become bold.
Besides, you may meet other types of dogs. The training principle for them is to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, skillfully use conditioned reflex and unconditional reflex stimulation, and gradually improve.
pay attention to
Dog training should pay attention to methods and pay attention to the following points:
1. Don't overdo it. For example, when training to "sit down", dogs can do well (or occasionally) after several times. You should give it some encouragement. This is much better than continuous training 10 times and finally failing.
2. In the initial training, it is difficult to make the dog concentrate. You need patience at this time, and don't rush it.
3. Puppies should be trained 70 days after birth, and adult dogs should be trained immediately.
4. When teaching new things, it should be done in a quiet and safe place that dogs are familiar with; When reviewing what you have understood, do it in a slightly distracting place, and when reviewing what you have fully mastered, do it in a more distracting place. In this way, the dog is trained step by step to focus on its owner.
5. It is more effective to train for a short time every day. For example, compared with 1 time of 20 minutes per day and 1 time, 1 time of 5- 10 minutes twice a day is more effective and can keep dogs fresh.
