Any trainer knows that a dog, as well as a person, needs an individual approach. Each breed has its own characteristics, and not every dog lends itself to training. But nevertheless, it is necessary to train the animal, at least so that the dog is controllable, and you can be sure that it will not violate your command, will not cause inconvenience to other people. Guard dogs require special attention and work of a trainer.
It is necessary
- - guarded thing;
- - rope.
Instructions
Step 1
You can teach your dog to guard a person, a house, or just the things you left behind. The latter is extremely useful in everyday life. Before teaching your dog to guard, remember that training is a system of rules and rewards. If you have undertaken to train a dog, then you need to do this systematically, and not when you have the time and desire. Start training with your puppy at 3-5 months of age.
Step 2
Teach her not to trust strangers. Ask someone you know to help the dog doesn't know. Make sure that the dog is calm and in a good mood, otherwise it may become "naughty".
Step 3
Place the thing in front of the animal that it needs to guard. The dog should be on a leash, but so that it can reach the object relatively freely to move. Command: "Protect!"
Step 4
Your friend should first walk past the dog at a short distance. Watch the reaction of the animal. If it is too violent, then sit down and calm the dog down. Command again: "Protect!"
Step 5
The next time your friend should try to pick up the thing that the dog is guarding, and at this time you repeat the command for the dog again. If necessary, do this several times in a row.
Step 6
The dog must understand what you want from it. And when she begins to protect the thing, your friend should run away, thereby showing that the dog has coped with its task. Praise and reward your dog so that he knows that he did everything right. There are situations when the dog may react to a stranger, but refuses to guard the thing. In this case, try modifying the job.
Step 7
Tie a rope about one meter long to the protected object. And after the dog rushes with barking at your helper, he must pull on the rope to move the object. Not much. A moving object usually grabs the dog's attention. If your dog makes an attempt to stop this thing, then you should encourage and cheer him up until he finally returns the thing to himself.
Step 8
Repeat this maneuver several times until you achieve a result where the dog will immediately growl at a person who will only reach for the thing it guards.
Remember to praise your dog. Your approval is very important to him.
