Dogs are prohibited from picking up food on the ground

The owner chooses a quiet environment, places the food in several obvious places in advance, and then leads the dog to wander here, and gradually approaches the place where the food is placed. When the dog shows signs of wanting to eat, he immediately uses a threatening tone to say "no" The command was followed by the stimulation of jerking the leash to stop it. When the dog stops picking up food, it should be rewarded with a pat. Then continue to take the dog for a walk, and then approach another place where food is placed, and use the same training method as above. Training locations will need to be changed frequently in the future. After repeated training like this, the dog will not dare to pick up food.

On this basis, some food can be scattered in relatively hidden places (such as short grass). Instead, use a training rope to master. The owner can stay away from the dog and still use the above method for training until the training rope is removed so that the dog can stop picking up food immediately according to the command during free activities.

However, in order to completely correct the bad behavior of picking food everywhere, it is not enough to rely solely on arranging food for special training. Strict management must be strengthened on a daily basis, and regular training must be carried out anytime and anywhere. Once you relax, all your previous efforts will be in vain. In order to prevent the dog's conditioned reflex to the command from weakening or extinguishing, mechanical stimulation should often be appropriately combined with it to strengthen it.

It is forbidden for dogs to accept food from others

When the owner leads the dog to a place where people are active, the assistant trainer will naturally approach the dog and hold food for the dog to eat. If the dog expresses desire to eat, the assistant trainer will skillfully turn his hand and tap the dog's mouth. Then give the dog food. If the dog shows signs of eating, give it a stronger stimulus. At this time, the owner gives the "bark" command and pretends to hit the trainer to encourage the dog, so as to stimulate the dog's active defense reaction. When the dog barks at the trainer, the trainer should take the opportunity to escape, and the owner should reward the dog.

After such training, when the dog can demonstrate to the food assistant and refuse to accept food, the training method will be adopted in which the assistant throws the food in front of the dog and then leaves.

【Method steps】

The owner first ties the dog to a certain place with a leash, and then ties a training rope around the dog's collar, and leads the other end of the rope to the owner's hidden place. The owner holds the rope with his hand to covertly monitor the dog's movements. After the assistant trainer approaches the dog, he first tries to feed the dog with his hands. If the dog wants to eat, he taps the dog's mouth lightly. If the dog demonstrates, drop the piece of meat and leave. When the dog indicates that it is taking food, the owner should give the "no" command in a hidden place and jerk the training rope to stop it. If the dog does not pick up food, the owner should appear immediately to reward the dog. In this way, you can train 2-3 times continuously at the same time. After repeated training, the purpose of refusing to eat can be achieved.
