Often, dog owners are faced with a situation in which pets do not react in any way to strangers. To develop the habit of treating strangers with caution, it is necessary to train the dog to command "Stranger".
Instructions
Step 1
Start learning the command "Alien" after the dog has already begun to understand and execute such basic commands as "To me", "Sit", "Lie down", "Fu", "Stand". They teach the dog obedience and an adequate attitude towards the owner.
Step 2
Before teaching the Alien command, ask your friends and acquaintances to stop stroking the animal. It will be ideal if people who come to visit behave indifferently towards the dog.
Step 3
Wean your dog from communicating with strangers (including other people's children). If during a walk the dog runs happily towards a stranger, say the command "No" and pull up the leash. If your dog is not on a leash, call his name to get attention and start walking away quickly. The dog must follow.
Step 4
Ask an assistant to knock or ring the closed door of your apartment or house. Get your dog to respond to this stimulus by growling or barking. To do this, it is necessary to pronounce the word "alien" loudly and clearly several times. If you show any reaction to the command (even a soft growl), reward the dog with your favorite treat.
Step 5
Try to artificially create a tense and stressful situation that will require protection from the dog. Ask the assistant to swing at you, to portray the attack.
Step 6
Hold your dog by the collar or leash and say the command "Stranger". As soon as the dog reacts with a growl or bark, reward him with a treat. In the future, at the word "alien", the dog should pounce on the ill-wisher with barking and growling.
Step 7
After the dog has mastered the command "Alien", begin training in the command "Fas", in which the dog should show more active actions towards the ill-wisher.
