Every dog ​​needs to know how to deal with its owner. In order for the relationship between them to be harmonious, the owner must give the dog some time and explain some words, what they mean and how he wants the dog to respond to them. This is called dog training. The words used in dressage are called controls.

Each dog can be taught, but it is good to know them, because they are all very different. Some are shy, some like to play, some are aggressive, and some are very lazy. All dogs can understand some basic commands to help owners communicate with them.

MAIN APPROACH TO DOG TRAINING

Basic commands for a dog: for controls, we always use the same word. distance, sit, lie down, wait, stop, leg, voice, reach, exit, release, jump, stop, advance, go back, turn, finish, run …

1. Commands, the dog learns slowly, one by one. When you know the first command, you start with the perception of others. First, we teach the dog simple commands to sit, kick, lie down, and wait.

2. Every dog ​​is not for all controls and all games. Dog inherits the instincts of his breed. If we expect the same behavior as German Shepherds from a Poodle, we will be disappointed. Any breed of dog is great for some jobs, but others it just won’t do.

3. Give your puppy time to make you poor. When they learn new commands (Sit …) First, it will obey only a fraction of a second. So, we praise him. Next time he will sit longer. When we teach the animal, between the commands we play with them. The dog during class should have more time to play than to train.

4. When the dog learns some controls, we add noises and sounds to the controls. The dog must always obey. Noises and sounds: a ball, a sizzling toy, running around it, throwing the candy …

5. Distance between dogs and owners When we teach the dog sitting in front of or next to the one who teaches, it must be located no more than one meter apart. If it is more than a meter away, it will draw attention to everything except the controls.

6. Different places. Once the dog learns to sit on command, you must accustom him to sitting both indoors and outdoors or in the middle of the city. 6.1. different soil substrates The dog sits on various bases on the cement floor, grass, sand, dirt, seat, surf, table, bench …

7. We provide controls one after another in different sequences: sitting, lying, voice, jumping, distance b. leg, voice, wait, rest, voice c. distance, sit, jump, sit, wait. 7.1. Train the dog in different situations a walk through the village, before the ATM without a leash, in an elevator …

8. Train the dog at a different time of the day: morning, noon, afternoon, afternoon, night.

9. We practice different positions and different controls in a series from sitting to lying down, lying down to jumping …

10. We practice the dog so that we change position between the controls we are in a chair, lying on the floor, standing on a ladder, hanging from a tree, standing on slides or measures.

11. Practice the dog with a calm voice, whispering and loudly, singing.

12. DO NOT practice on the animal when it is not in the mood.

13. Train the dog several times a day for a few minutes, preferably daily. When the dog is used to training, do not extend it for more than 20 minutes.

14. Every session with a dog should be fun for both the dog and the owner. Between the controls there are always short games with the dogs.

15. We praise the dog when it is obedient and ignore it when it does not obey. Do not feed the dog treats during training as they will always aspect him. The dog is more obedient to love than to food.

16. We do not punish, hit or yell at the dog. We work with him amicably.

17. Don’t make fun of the dog during training. This offends and humiliates him.

18. During training we do not stroke the head. This is a humiliation for a hardworking and obedient dog.

19. Patience. Sometimes the dog does not understand what we want from him. This can enrage us. Then the training stops and in minutes, we try to say what we want in another way.

20. The trainer needs to know and imagine what he wants from his dog. If the handler is not clear about what he wants, the dog will not know what is expected of him.

21. The handler uses the name of a dog in the controls Sit Tarzan, Tarzan distance, …. the dog loves his name and likes to hear it, so he will act more obedient to the command.

22. Control the order: attention, command, demonstration, praise.
