Dog Training Tips and Tricks

Play with Your Dog!

The handler and the dog play together with an object.

The dog does not play alone with the object.

The handler starts the game and he ended it again. It is then no longer even fought for the subject! We can / should the dog not tear out of the mouth, we decided to take the object. When pressure is required, then only the collar.

Commands are given once and then set accordingly.

Bring the handler not previously enforce his command in the position, he should better give no command.

If this has worked so far as we now have the object in his hand that the dog would like.

He is sure to do things that we require; walk, sit, stay, etc.

The dog training can begin!

Command foot

From the game out after we even now hold the object in our hands, the dog is walking command.

a) the dog runs good with, confirm after 3-4 steps at once by being played back (good dog) .., please go by and by the step increase number .. and please do not ever just straight!

b) the dog jumps like crazy beside us and vesucht to get to the object (is also a good dog because very strong drive)

If the error is avoided that the dog itself confirmed because the handler has the object does not control and can this "steal" from the dog ... but the dog handlers confirmed the dog when it is quiet for a moment, then he will stop quickly with the jumping.

c) the dog sniffing only on the ground, looks after other dogs and people ...

Interested in everything, except for his handler (rather bad).

Reasons for this may be:

1) The dog may have been confirmed wrong in advance;

Action: Dog sniffs on the ground - Reaction: The handler lures with sausage.

Also like to see ...

Action: Dog sniffs on the ground - Reaction: dog handler knocking with the tug on his knee, or wags the ball wildly in the air to get the attention of his dog again.

The dog is so for "sniffing on the ground" confirmed and has learned ...

if nose down, then comes reward.

The negative action of the dog, the handler may not encourage by a positive reaction.

  2) dog and handler can not properly play together.

But the dog shows no interest in the toy ... because is actually anyway played constantly with him, or because he much rather like the ball that stupid Tug ...

-Does the dog with beautiful and is appropriately conditioned from us:

No harassing and no Requesting the game lead to success, but only the desired tempo of us, just next to us, if possible shoulder at knee height and attentive look in expectation brings the reward!

We need to be consistent!

What happens when the handler responding for a long time on the actions of his dog?

The little dog baby already starts with it on, to try, to influence how situations are ...

How can I get the attention, if only the stupid colorful case is looked at in the living room closet.

And it's damn hard to resist this sweet look.

But the little dog is big and is then also very be consistent with us and possibly even his efforts with some pressure (nip in the butt, or loud barking) are trying to enforce.

And then stand up and ask: Why does he do this??

Answer: Because he has so learned it from us!

To get out of this vicious circle again must change his conduct with respect to the dog, the handler. The dog will adapt to the new circumstances.

The handler must not expect the dog by itself change his behavior.

  It is easier ...

  Not to let it only go so far
