The first thing you should do when trying to train your dog is to get your dog's attention. This may seem obvious, but many people miss this step. This is the most important thing you can teach your dog, because he needs to listen to you. If your mind is elsewhere, you will not learn.
If you encounter difficulties throughout your life, return to this basic principle. Can you get the attention of your dog? Otherwise you will probably encounter difficulties in this situation.
That's why we work through:
1. What do you teach? You need to teach your dog that something interesting will happen if his name means "look at me".
2. Start in a relatively quiet environment, without distractions. Looking for a quiet place.
3. Show your dog a really interesting piece of food. Put a few treats in a small pot or bag that are out of the reach of your dog and only one piece at a time.
4. Use this as a decoy to show your dog what he wants. Find ways to encourage him to do it himself. Your dog should look at you now. Well done, you have already done it.
5. Your dog does what he wants right away, rewarding him with food and a scandal. Reward him
6. Do not give your dog a word about the order at this time.
7. Repeat this several times until your dog performs the action reliably. Then start saying your word while the dog is performing the act. First say his name before rewarding him.
8. Show the pleasure to your dog and say your word. Reward him. There is no bait necessary. Repeat this several times.
9. Continue until you can say the word and your dog repeats the action without following your hand. This should be easy to achieve.
10. Repeat this sequence in different places with a growing number of distractions. It gets complicated here, but it's very important. Practice in many different situations. This includes:
In the house:
- or without distraction
- or if a visitor has been here for some time
- or when a visitor arrives for the first time
- or when it rings
On road:
- or without distraction
- or with a person or a dog in the distance
- or with a person or a dog nearby
- or if you welcome a person or a dog
- or in the car
- or in the garden
If you find that your dog can not see you on demand, it is unlikely that he will be able to do anything else for you. Always return to the simple premise that you have taught your puppy from the beginning.
Dogs are land animals and many talk when a stranger knocks on the door. The dogs are also very outgoing and are happy to welcome all who come to visit us. This can be very frustrating for the visitor and the owner. Learn a simple technique to control your dog when someone visits you.
The trick to control your dog when someone approaches is to control the situation, not your dog. You see, most people try to control the dog in this situation. When someone knocks on your door, your dog's excitement rises.
When your dog is so excited, it is very difficult to exercise. The first step is to reduce your dog's emotional level. If someone knocks on your door, do not follow your dog to the door. Your dog will run to the door and look for you. Wait a few minutes and you will notice that the emotions of your dogs subside.
Go to the door after a minute or two, but focus on your dog. Give your dog the command "Sit" and "Stay". If you put your hand on the doorknob, your dog will probably get up. The second your dog gets up, quickly remove his hand and repeat the command.
Tell your dog to sit down and put his hand on the doorknob. Repeat until you can open the door. The second time you open the door a fraction of an inch, your dog will probably get up. Close the door quickly and repeat the command.
They use the door to control their dog's behavior. Your dog wants to see who is on the other side. He wants to greet the person. The behavior is based on the reward, the reward in this situation is the other side of the door. They use the door for their dog to execute the command. After a few minutes, you can ask your dog to wait while you open the door.
