Obedience training for dogs is best done by the person closest to the dog in the home. Having one person in charge of training the dog reduces the amount of confusion caused by different commands from different people.
In order to get the dog accustomed to the owner’s instructions as soon as possible, the training should pay special attention to the use of tone of voice, do not arbitrarily change the tone of the command with their own temperament and emotions.
1. Order and signal in the beginning of training, especially when you start to teach new content, the use of tone of voice to be gentle, supplemented by appropriate action guidelines, the command should be clear and brief, so that the dog can be convenient to remember.
When the dog becomes bored, correct it with the leash in time. If the leash is ineffective, use a strong tone of voice to reprimand it, because at this time the tone of encouragement is no longer useful.
2. Compliment if the dog correctly in accordance with the owner’s instructions to complete the action required, it is necessary to use a pleasant tone of voice to praise it, to show it “your performance has won the master’s pleasure.
However, the dog should not be tricked into coming around with compliments in order to reprimand it. This will make the dog feel cheated and it will not come back to the owner after a few times.
3. Command If you are sure that the dog understands the master’s instructions, but does not act on them, but is speculating about the master’s attitude, then you must use a strong tone of voice to command it and force it to do as it is told.
Before doing so, however, you should carefully consider whether the owner’s demands are too high for the dog to fulfill for the time being.
4. The method of severe reprimand should be used with caution. Owners often make a mistake: the owner instructed the dog to do certain actions, but because of the expression of the unclear or the dog has not yet understood, began to reprimand the dog. The dog will be puzzled by the reason for the reprimand.
Harsh reprimands should only be used in special circumstances. For example, if there is going to be a serious accident involving the life or death of the dog.
5. Call the dog’s name to give the dog a fixed name.
For example, the dog’s name is “Beibei”, and different family members, neighbors on different occasions, there are called “baby”, “Bei”, which will cause confusion for the dog.
The tone of voice when you call the dog’s name to avoid roughness, reprimand is prohibited with the dog’s name. Otherwise, the next time you call his name, the dog will not pay attention.
Calling the name is limited to the issue of the number of commands and compliments to the dog to form a good impression. The next time its name is called, it will run to you immediately.
