Dog Training Basics

Every dog ​​needs to know how to deal with its owner. For the harmonious relationship between them, the owner must spend some time with the dog and explain some words, what they mean and how they want the dog to respond to them. This is called dog training. The words used in training 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.

PRIMARY APPROACH TO DOG TRAINING

Basic commands for a dog: for the controls we always use the same word. distance, sit, down, wait, stop, leg, voice, get, get out, drop, jump, stop, forward, back, around, over, run…

1. Commands, the dog learns slowly, one by one. When he knows the first command, he starts 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 breed instincts from him. 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 for others it just won’t work.
3. Give your pup time to leave you poor. When it learns 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 commands we play with it. The dog during the 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, knocking over treats…
5. Distance between dogs and owners When we teach the dog sitting in front or next to the one who teaches, they must be placed no more than one meter away. If it is more than a meter away, it will draw attention to everything except the controls.
6. Different seats. Once the dog learns to sit on command, you should get him used to sitting both indoors and outdoors or in the middle of the city. 6.1. different floor substrates The dog sits on various bases on the cement floor, grass, sand, earth, seat, surf, table, bench…
7. We provide controls one after another in different sequences a sitting, lying down, voice, jump, distance b. leg, voice, wait, rest, voice c. distance, sit, jump, sit, wait. 7.1. Training the dog in different situations: a walk around town, at the ATM without a leash, in an elevator…
8. Train the dog at a different time of day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night.
9. We practice different positions and different controls in a series from sitting to lying down, lying down to jumping…
10. We practice that the dog changes position between controls whether we are on a chair, lying on the ground, standing on a ladder, hanging from the tree, standing on slides or steps.
11. Practice the dog with a quiet voice, whispering and loud, singing.
12. DO NOT practice with the animal when you are 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 do it for more than 20 minutes.
14. Every session with a dog should be fun for both dog and owner. Between the controls there are always short games with the dogs.
15. We praise the dog when he is obedient and ignore him when he does not obey. Do not feed the dog treats during training, as he will always look at them. 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 friendly.
17. Do not make fun of the dog during training. This offends and humiliates him.
18. During training we do not pat the head This means humiliation for a hard-working and obedient dog.
19. Patience. Sometimes the dog does not understand what we want from him. This can make us angry. Then the training stops and in a matter of 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 trainer is not clear about what he wants, the dog will not know what is expected of him.
21. The handler uses a dog’s name at the controls Sit down Tarzan, Tarzan away,…. the dog loves his name and likes to hear it, so he will act more obediently to the command.
22. Controls the order: attention, command, demonstration, praise.
