Delay training, in fact, is no mystery. Retardation training is the process of enabling your dog to consistently carry out the commands you give until you get a release. For working dogs that are on a mission, delay training is essential.
Some dog owners may think: My dog is not a police dog, so delay training is not necessary. In fact, for pet dogs, delay training is also necessary.
Teach your dog to sit – retard
- Let your dog sit on your left side, gently place your left hand in front of its nose, being careful not to touch the nose, and then issue the command, “Stop!”
- Hold the leash with your right hand and withdraw your left hand, then walk two meters in front of the dog and stand facing it. Dog owners should be aware that it is important to always take the right side of the leg first; if your dog will be following the lead, then you taking the left side of the leg will give the dog the false impression that it is going to perform a follow-through.
- Stand two meters in front of the dog, observe the dog, and if it appears to be restless, the owner again gives the command sternly: “Set!” The timing of the command is very important, it must be given at the moment when the dog wants to move or has just moved, so that the stopping effect will be very good.
- If the dog has stood up, then the dog owner should go back to the dog, pull the collar with his right hand, and press the dog’s waist with his left hand, forcing him to sit down again. If the dog is still restless, the dog owner can pull the leash to stop it.
- When your dog can adhere to a period of delay, the dog owner should encourage it, but do not immediately go up to caress, verbal encouragement of the dog’s purpose is to let it continue to maintain the delay, and the owner’s caress will let the dog destroy the delayed state.
- When the dog delayed to the specified time (3 minutes -5 minutes, depending on the specific circumstances by the owner), the owner of the dog gave the command “come”, so that the dog to lift the delayed state, and then the dog for caressing and food rewards.
“Stop” is just one word, and I’m only going to say it once!
Some dog owners give their dog the command again when the dog breaks the delay, which is a poor training method. Dogs in the implementation of the process of delay, in a state of memory, perhaps at the beginning of this memory is not clear, but the dog is trying to remember, the dog owner to repeat the command will disrupt the dog’s memory, the sudden command will make the dog confused, do not know what to do, so please dog owners to remember: “fixed” is just a word, you only say it once! So please remember: “Fixed” is just one word, you only say it once!
Don’t be too hard on your child, a break is necessary!
Delayed training is one of the several most difficult problems in dog training, the dog will appear in the delayed training in a variety of problems, some dogs will be restless, some dogs will feel fear, some dogs will be so excited that it is difficult to inhibit, uneasy to change the sitting position, the front paws alternately扒地. At this time, the dog owner can first temporarily issued a command to lift the delay, the dog to comfort before training.
For dogs that are difficult to delay, you may want to try this gossipy-looking trick:
Let the dog sit on the bed, give it “sit”, “set” command, the training ground will be delayed training moved to the bed. Bed for the dog is a magical place, where it can be completely relaxed, and can ensure that there is no external stimulus, so that training is often twice the effort, however, delayed training to achieve the initial effect of the training ground to move to the ground down.
Seize the moment to pick faults
For the dog, the owner is around, can remind it to delay the existence of the command, when the owner is not in or the owner did not observe their own, some dogs will forget to delay the command, so, for the dog owner, in the dog forget to command time to correct its mistakes is very necessary.
If possible, the dog owner can put a small speaker at the back of the dog and then hide himself to observe the dog, if the dog changes, the owner can use the microphone to remind the dog. The sudden sound of the owner’s voice from behind is enough to quiet it and continue the delay.
