Conversely, if the dog has a good performance or behavior, we should praise it immediately issued a [good] password, and touch its head or neck to make it understand the owners like it this action. 3, "Wait a minute" and "over" training 4, "sit down" training - (before meals and the implementation of the best) First issued a "sit" command, the dog can not understand, you must hand it down the back half of the downward pressure, also issued [down] the password, it can be quiet and sit down experience so far . 5, the "handshake training - (before meals and implementation of the best) Already very familiar with the dog to sit down to determine the password and be implemented after the implementation of action, when it is quiet and sat down, raised his left hand or right hand tap, shake hands while shouting a password, repeat the effect, to be able to understand and listen to his dog shake password, that is complete. Should be repeated daily training, training remember, do not be too hasty, and an action is not familiar with and teach another action immediately, is the training of the largest real taboo. 6, "lie down (lie down)" training - (before meals and the implementation of the best) If you want to train the dog to lie down, to be a quiet place, so it has a quiet sit down and gently pull the front foot when the hands form a prostrate position, as long as it was the owner usually reliable, easily trained into, and patted it and praise it some. 7, "called the" training Whether a dog wag its tail like a baby who told it will, but for a large dog is also the case, then lost the vigilance of the. Especially playing the dog, physical shortage of small power, if they too tame, not only can not work as housekeeping, may also have been abducted and missing it! 8, "Do not call the" no bark training 9, "into the" training 10, "mouth" of the training Mouth opening training is not difficult, we must first establish a "do not open your mouth to the loss, but good" faith. This confidence is based on the fundamental, the first should be near the canine body, caressing it _set_tle down, hands from the head, forehead, and then moved to the amount of tone to the amount of tone on the tiger's mouth to try to lift up, if you have been resisted should immediately put down, and be praised "good" and "good", over some time in the try. Do not open or closed if the dog should be patient, do not unreasonably violent, so self-defeating. "Has been to open the tone, we should also open so that the next tone." Owner immediately put in the mouth piece of the big dogs like to eat it, such as meat, biscuits, etc., so back and forth several times, make the dog feel the mouth is very beneficial to their own feelings, then the train to success the. When later given medicines (holding the bar, to go into the depths of the throat) are also much more convenient This training can try several times, until the lift on the tone of the owner, and the next tone will also open up. To learn the training, do not spend too much time, repeated several times, the dog will remember, even a very forgetful dogs, three days have been quite enough. 11, "not to rush the body" training When the dog out and go see the owner, the pleasure rushed the body, then the owner might not like, but it should do? In principle, be prohibited, if the young do not give the time to correct the dog will intuitively to this candid and full of feeling kind of way, to show its heart happy. If you want to prohibit such a move, there are two methods. The first method is that when you go back, it rushed to your body or legs, holding, or a cheerful front foot, you tripped over their feet to its hind legs, or what it is to ride a hind toe, It will feel pain and give up, it will start again shortly after, you should cook it again according to the law, not make it feel that way. The second way is when it flutter up, you grab it by hand before the toe, forced a grip, it will feel pain and give up, the main purpose is to make it to the feeling of forward flapping and pain associated by . Done above two methods, the owner can immediately order it to sit down, if successful achieved, to pat its head to show plus promises. So the result of repeated training, the dog owner who would feel to jump, but sat down to wait for the owner as love, as the master of you, of course, feel free to give affection and praise of the. 12, "no biting stuff" training Dogs sometimes bite furniture should be face to face to stop said no pants, or spanking. Dog likes to bite things has its reasons, the things around when puppies, full of curiosity to see, as a playmate to play with objects, body Fuseshita, forelimbs forward, it is inviting gesture. Secondly, after birth puppies 3 to 6 months, the primary teeth to permanent teeth to change the time, especially like bite, gums, resulting in itching desire to produce a physiological phenomenon. The third point is a strong force of the puppies grow, energy is too strong and no place to play, especially the growing of the dog is staggering. In addition to responsibility and strong bones and killing methods, should be reviewed: (1) into the house after the restrictions in its kennel and play sports. (2) _select_ion of toys to play with it, such as commercially available cow bones counterfeiting, hard ball, or something no longer in use (dolls, shoes, etc.). (3) increase in exercise time and walking outside. (4) hi bite this time, to put things could move higher or away. Addiction did not bite a dog, not the sick is a bad disposition, as long as good at biting action to stop tanks, or can teach good. At the same time full of energy to move it to the training, the two kept their interest, you can try. 13, "to correct bite addiction" training Are biased in favor of the dog's nature meddlesome tendencies, such as chasing moving things. This phenomenon is particularly significant when the puppies; if this phenomenon is not to be banned, also with nervousness, "so it should be training. In order to achieve the objective of the training, you can take it to a small animal than it before tempt to see if it wants to close, immediately stop the "No" or spanking, and put it back with a drawstring, according to this method, the same as in test. let him know why the owner dissatisfaction. 14, "around the side line of follow-up" training Dog walking on the left side with the follow-up action, it looks like it is easy, in fact, still need to teach about it, this training is very important. The city is very dense population of vehicles, any of its run, it is dangerous and accident prone. Training at the beginning, with a short leash pulling in the left side, then pull with the release should not be too long, making it an arbitrary action. After June, began the implementation of rigorous training, followed up his childhood habit deeply rooted in the side, until a habit after a long pull and then gradually released with or is no need to pull with [the senior action with the left foot in the cordless into]. Practice ahead of the situation may be encountered on the way, should be back soon, if the hang on, you barely pull it away, an assassination of the collar can also help you complete training. The third scenario is too far away from the owner, you can use the edges of drainage channels or walls to train it, the ditch will have to fall, it is natural only in the side of the road close to a way out. Training in the use of reward and punishment on his way to be interactive, but as a walk for the inconvenience manufacturing psychology of terror. 15, "jump" training This action more intense, training should be based on clear understanding of your dog being kept, whether the load had, such as Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Beijing is relatively large and so is not suitable. Like Boston, mini breeds such as chemicals and iron over Australia a more suitable breed. In order to avoid fractures and other issues. For the good of the dogs who jump "jump" training is not difficult, although some large physical, but not good at jumping, is not suitable as Sheng Bona to do this training. It as a training, or would cause bitter arguments that, if you look at it as a game much easier. At first, the obstacles to find a low and short, with humans and dogs across the moment, and issued a "jump" command, something is very low as obstacles, it is easy to get past the more, after the party ordered its obstacles stand, the owner and then went to the other obstacles, issued "to" "come" command, wait until the dog to jump when the barrier was given a "jump" command. After this command to learn, slowly increase the height of obstacles, practice a few times a day, so that the right to be praised. When the obstacle increased to a certain extent, the dog may lose control over the barrier, ran next to the barrier, this time should be blame, said "No" and take it to the same place again tried . Or the food or the ball is jumping in situ training training. Can also high jump training, into the long jump, a ditch, a great piece of wood are all good materials, individualized, but should be within their means, you can not expect a mini-products than a shepherd dog jump over six feet high, it is unreasonable. 16, "for the newspaper" training Early in the morning before going out, issued a "press" command, the dog bite to soon put the newspaper is a funny thing. 17, "car" training Sometimes go out shopping, hiking, traveling, to go out with a dog, can increase the pleasure of the journey. So if the dog obediently sit in the car is also a necessary training. And a string of scenes outside, the dog stretched out head of curiosity, are prone to dangerous, so to develop the comfort of their habit, should be implemented in peacetime training. Dog car, we must first overcome its fears, in the back seat should be appropriate to appease the family, emotional stability, making it safe volts in the car chair, car used to let it sit a young age, no longer afraid. At first, a short distance from the start, for example, the market shopping, watch the game and so the opportunity to train it. Then the distance was extended, it will naturally adapt to long-distance travel. Before the car, take it to the car in front of the command is "Wait a minute," after he sat a good driving position, only to open another door, order it "to" and then "sit down" or "Fuseshita", the first few to respond to Close the window, over some time and then open the window, in case the first head out of the window should immediately stop the probe, a dog in training, and this should be easy to do. And upon arrival, you can also work on behalf of car guards. Reached the destination, but also other cars parked, opened the door after, and then order it "out." Finally, note that, before going out drinking, eating should be limited to prevent vomiting, the best car in the drained urine before. 18, "Do not prostrate" training Why do dogs eat the food when on the floor confused? This is because the dogs mouth and teeth structure and different people, in addition to a role outside of the canine, the role of small molars, found a piece of food, usually is to use canines to tear it off. Furthermore, it was explained that the dog's habits are the first to step into the mouth of the good things, the psychological effect of relatively safe, to understand its nature requires it again, "Do not prostrate" training relatively easy. First time eating, should be the nearest monitor, once found to get the bowl of food outside of the signs should immediately stop the "No", then things away, but this time it should be noted that, without rendering too much bother, prejudice to the dog, unable to secure food, the heart can not produce the hand have to eat dry up psychology. Second, prey weight should be given a fixed, as is the case each meal, the same content, it did not fall in the food turned three four, and one a step by step on the food. If it is to get the bowl thing, but without rendering eat, something that is allowed within the bowl of imports, to see if there are signs of exploration beyond the first bowl should immediately stop and chastise tone, the overflow food material away. 19, "Do not you eat" training (do not eat their own excrement) training Walking the way to see something to Jianlai street food, only unhealthy, and susceptible to parasites, it must be implemented in accordance with the following methods: (1) The owner shall complete implementation of the training should not prostrate, usually do overturned tableware not allowed to eat things around. (2) In addition to eating the food inside, covers can not be imported, should be "No" to stop the command, or tap it as a warning tone. If no results, follow the method implementation. (3) intentionally in the courtyard or on the road Put it like to eat and exercise. Walk before or before exercise, the only way put something in advance, and then take it from the food passing by, it will close to feeding, the owner should immediately stop the Lord, said no and spanking it. According to this method several experiments, there is no place certain restrictions, in the yard, the room can be implemented. This exercise must be imported before the food will not stop, then stop to wait until the entrance was too late. (4) or in the food into mustard or pepper. If the previous method is still not effective, can be arranged in advance to put the food dropped mustard, pepper and other irritants, making it feel after eating stomach discomfort, followed by natural arm's length, no longer could not get interested. The above method can be implemented step by step, for example, change places, change the food, do not pull any of the free way with methods such as training. Learned to wait until this puppy training, to ensure safe and secure. 20, "material support" training Use of the ball, fake bones and other toys, training dogs to get back to action. Not far away toward the toy, and then ordered it back. 21, "housekeeping" training Housekeeping tasks indoor dog by bell or knock someone should respond immediately, as long as it can. If you train well in advance, "called" training, training in this task again much easier. At first, one member from the home to the bell or knock at the door, the owner pointed to the dog door is issued a "call" "call" command, the dog is called a few times, the owner immediately to give comfort and reward. After 10 seconds and then rang the bell and knock on the door, the owner and then issued the "call" command, so repeated implementation, let the dog know the sound of the doorbell there should be a bark, the owner would commend it, and so measures. This repeated a few days, the puppy will naturally receive the master of mind. But this training has two points to note is that people who rang the bell, the action should be a paragraph and spacing, the main talent praise the dog doing the right thing easy and the praise time. Second, if this over-sensitive to develop, only to hear a little wind that falls onto the sound of barking non-stop, does not work, should first be given a timely stop. Otherwise, outside of the cars, horns, and sooner or later, spirit shook the phone ring is also non-stop, I am afraid will not be welcome. Should be aware of the doorbell and telephone ring tones it is not the same, the same method could be used and exchanged phone ring bell and exercises to facilitate the identification, did it rewards wrong blame it. Another ㄉ dog breeds are more good nature ** ** If over 1 year of age after the vigilance of a stranger or not, can you rarely come to the home of friends pretend to strangers, called here, if the dog is no vigilance close to the belt can be prepared in advance or soft water, bitter hard in the back, pumping it take the lead, making it to the strangers vigilance, our memories .. {owner is not personally implemented, in order to avoid role confusion, on the You have not trust ~} 22, "antifeedant" training At first, things fall off the table, to be the second San Francisco to pick up food, should be stopped, said, "No." If there is no effect, or it should be punished to the previous method, the food attractant into the bitterness of things Kula. Or feeding your guests, once the food in your body, naturally feel uncomfortable bear, after a few experience, it is natural to feel what people eat is not good conclusion. In addition, the training process, if a good performance, remember to reward and appease a timely manner. Although the color does not affect the competition results. But most people still prefer a white circle and neat white socks. Of course. Health is also important. Please pay special attention to the nose - wet and hot quit; ass - clean but not dirty; eyes - bright, no gum; fur - clean no Xie Xie!
