A trained obedient dog is the real pride of the owner. Agree, it is very unpleasant when the dog does not obey or hooligan, especially if it happens in public places. Therefore, most dog owners send their pets from special schools or training courses, but you can teach the dog commands yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Contrary to popular belief, the dog should be taught from the very tender puppy age. It is necessary to patiently repeat the actions that the dog must perform from the first day of its appearance in the house: point it to the place, to the bowl, take it outside at certain hours, not allow it to enter certain places in the house, etc.
Step 2
It is not worth punishing an animal for up to 3-4 months, the maximum that the owner can afford is to lightly slap the puppy on the nose with a newspaper. But praise and encouragement for the right actions is simply necessary.
Step 3
The main commands that dogs are trained in are:
"Sit!", "Lie!", "Near!", "Fas!", "Fu!", "Jump!", "Stick!", "Coup!"
Step 4
In order to teach the dog commands, you need to follow some guidelines.
Let's get some goodies. Dogs react to food. Small bites of your favorite dog treat will reinforce your dog's good behavior.
Step 5
Repeat the action. Repetition is key when teaching your dog commands. They need consistency in order to understand what action they are being asked to perform and repetition so that the action is reinforced in the behavior of the animal.
Step 6
Working with the dog every day. Training should be done on a regular basis so that the commands become reflexes and rules for the dog. Exercising at a specific time and every day will ensure that the commands learned in the past are engrained in the dog's memory.
Step 7
Use a clicker. Food is a good choice, but since dogs process information with their hearing and smell more than humans, use the clicker to train your dog. Clickers can be purchased at any pet store. Use the clicker appropriately to teach the dog to familiarize himself with the sound and to follow the command. You can use treats as a reward, but the clicker can be the ultimate educational tool.
Step 8
Use verbal and physical commands. Dogs can associate word and hand movement with a variety of actions. When you tell the dog to roll over and show with your hands, he will be able to better understand and remember the command.
