The Chihuahua is a companion dog, so she does not need the skills of a protective guard service, although she can master it. This breed is easy to train. Nevertheless, even training according to the general course, designed to instill in the dog obedience, cleanliness, to teach it the correct behavior at home and on the street, requires constant participation, attention and perseverance from the owner.
It is necessary
- - a treat for a dog;
- - leash.
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to start training at puppyhood and progress from easy to difficult. To practice teams, stock up on some dog treat. First, teach your dog how to respond to a nickname. When feeding, during play, when you pet, pet your pet, call him by name. Do not give a nickname if you want to scold a puppy. Never pronounce it in a strict tone. Very soon the puppy will get used to associating her with pleasant emotions.
Step 2
To teach the Chihuahua the command to sit, take a piece of goodies in your left hand. Raise it above the dog's head. The animal must know what you have there. With your right hand, press on the back of the dog's body, trying to seat it. Command to sit. Sela - praise, give a treat. Repeat 5-6 times. After your pet begins to sit down on its own, take the treat in your right hand. Don't show it to your dog. Raise your left hand above her head, give the command to sit. Villages - feed.
Step 3
Teach the Chihuahua to lie down. Command to sit first. Take a piece of treat and stretch it out to your dog so that it stretches forward and slightly downward. Command to lie down. Press her on the withers, trying to fit. Lay down - praise, stroke, give a treat.
Step 4
Say the command "give your paw" and take the dog's paw in your hand yourself. Praise, pet, feed. The dog will quickly figure out what to do.
Step 5
Best of all the puppy masters the command "to me" at 7-16 weeks. Call him, give the command "to me." Came up - praise, give a treat. Doesn't react - run a little to the side to get his attention. He will do it himself. Again not responding - take a long leash. Command "to me" and pull the dog up with a leash. Give me a bite of the treat.
Step 6
The "fu" command is prohibitive, requiring unconditional obedience. Not encouraged, pronounced in a low voice. Repeat the command in a threatening tone. If the puppy is small, act gently but persistently. To stop any of his unwanted action, command "fu" and move the puppy to another place. If you do not want to obey, distract him with a loud unpleasant sound, while uttering the command. An older dog can be jerked or slapped over the leash. The prohibitive command "fu", "no", which is essentially the same, should be used strictly at the moment when the dog does something illegal, but not later.
