I believe that by studying and training dogs, one can already be considered as half a pet training expert. Here are ten key dog training elements to summarize for everyone. I believe that with this one more time, you will soon become a 100% professional dog training expert.
(1) Praise and touch – Many friends constantly curse when training their puppies, such as “stupid! How stupid!”. Actually, this is not true
That’s right. The purpose of training is to teach, not to curse. The best way is to often praise and touch the dog, so that it can understand the owner’s happy mood.
(2) Passwords should be clear – in order to make it easier for dogs to understand and remember, it is best to use short and clearly pronounced sentences during training, and it should not be repeated. When giving commands, avoid being loud or angry. Because dogs are very sensitive.
(3) Avoid excessive praise – praise dogs only when they are very obedient. If you praise your little dog frequently, it will confuse it and it will not know when it will receive praise. In this way, the crucial training becomes difficult to continue.
(4) Correction should be timely – when a dog is about to do something that cannot be done, it should be stopped loudly and decisively. If you scold it afterwards, the dog will not understand the reason behind it and will still continue to do those “impossible” things.
(5) Don’t scold your dog casually – If your dog makes a mistake, don’t scold them until they master the essentials of the action. Puppies often cannot connect reprimand with action.
(6) Training anytime, anywhere – Training is not limited by time. In daily life such as walking, eating, and visiting, it is important to patiently teach dogs what to do and what not to do.
(7) Never give up – dogs are not animals that can be immediately remembered and followed by just teaching them once or twice. It needs to gradually form memory during continuous training. Therefore, as a dog owner, you need to be patient and constantly train your little dog.
(8) Developing adaptability – Dogs often avoid or bark at things they don’t like
Cry, or simply destroy it. This can sometimes cause great trouble for the owner. In this situation, the first thing to do is to have patience and never be impatient. Let the dog slowly approach things it doesn’t like, and at the same time, keep it going
Speak to it in a gentle voice to calm it down. If the dog is beaten or scolded at this time, it will actually make the dog hide further away.
(9) Not to compare with other dogs – dogs have different abilities, so it is important to train at a speed that is suitable for them and never compare to other dogs, which can lead to the belief that “our dog’s intelligence is really poor.”. Be confident in your own dog.
(10) Consultation with experts – If you encounter any difficult problems during the training process, please feel free to consult with experts or veterinarians at any time.
