It's nice to see when a dog, regardless of its size and breed, proudly walks along the street next to its owner, without trying to drop him into a puddle or drag him into the bushes. In order for an adult animal not to cause trouble, it is necessary to start teaching it commands from a very early age.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing you should teach your puppy is his nickname. Never misrepresent a dog's name into a diminutive or other form. Don't repeat it too often and aimlessly. The nickname is a signal "Attention!" For the dog. It is usually followed by a command.
Step 2
"To me!" - one of the most important commands for a dog. Train your puppy to suit his individual needs. Call your pet, pet him, play with him or treat him to something tasty. Thus, you will reward him for coming up to you. Give the gourmet for each approach on command a piece of crackers, scratch the affectionate puppy behind the ear, reward the mischievous person with fun entertainment. Never say "Come to me!" in an angry or threatening tone, because this command is the most affectionate for a puppy.
Step 3
To teach the puppy such commands as "Lie!", "Sit!", "Near!", "Go to the place!", "Voice!" and “Give your paw!”, use the mechanical method of training, which consists in influencing certain muscle groups when uttering the command by the owner. This effect occurs, as a rule, by pressing or pulling the leash.
Step 4
To teach the command "Sit!" press on the sacrum of the animal. At the same time, pull the leash up. To execute the command "Lie down!" press on the withers of the sitting puppy. At the same time, pull the leash down.
Step 5
Every time you say "Go to the place!", Take the puppy to his place. To teach a pet the command "Near!" pull it up to you with a leash.
Step 6
If you want your puppy to reach out his paw to you, give him the command when he is in a sitting position and grab the pet's front limb yourself. Then tell the puppy "Give a paw!" and reach out your hand to him.
Step 7
Dogs bark, as a rule, when exposed to stimuli. Prepare a piece of treat, sit the puppy in front of you and let him sniff the bait in such a way that the pet cannot grab it. As soon as the puppy barks, say "Voice!" and give him a treat.
