No dog is born to serve people, but they are willing to learn how to serve people for a piece of jerky. "Picking something up" is just an action that many dogs can do, but asking them to pick up a specific object according to the owner's instructions and then carry the object to a specific place is not a skill that most dogs can do. In fact, dogs can recognize as many as ten or twenty words. As long as they are trained consistently, it is not difficult to ask your dog to help open the refrigerator and get things.

Dog training steps:

The first step: First of all, let the dog get used to having something in its mouth. In addition to letting it adapt to the size of the object, the weight of the object must also be controlled within the range that its mouth can weigh its hand. The dog owner can put a fixed object in its mouth and prevent it from spitting it out. Slowly extend the time the reward is held in your mouth until it is not forced to hold it and it will not spit it out.

Step 2: The dog owner should set a password at this time, such as "dumbbell", to let the dog know what it is holding. In addition, the dog must be trained to obey commands. When it is tired of biting something or is attracted by other things, it will want to spit it out. At this time, you should say "no" or "NO". When the dog grabs something, it is not allowed to spit it out without the owner's command.

Step 3: When your dog stops spitting out things at will, you can let him follow you around with something in his mouth. Before doing this, it is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the dog’s obedience training. Because in addition to not letting go of the items in your mouth, you also need to make sure that it is willing to follow you all the time and will not run away on its own.

Step 4: Since your dog is used to walking around with things in his mouth, you can let him identify the items you want him to pick up. Let it first establish the association between the item and the name. For example, when you say "cell phone," it knows where to look for your phone. Place the object on the ground and wait until the dog is willing to pick it up. This training step is not complete.

Step 5: When the dog understands the correlation between the object and its name, it will pick up the object. But this is not enough, because in the end we need to encourage it to "actively search for"The object. When the object is no longer in front of it and you give the command, it will take the initiative to ask around until it finds the object.

Step 6: Try to teach and train the above five steps in sequence, and repeat each stage as many times as possible so that the dog can naturally get used to your commands. Whenever your dog does something right, remember to encourage him immediately.

Notes on dog training:

1. After the dog understands the name of the object, when you have not thrown anything out, you only need to ask questions such as "Where is the doll?" or "Where is the bone?", and the dog will know to find it and take it to him. you. When your dog brings the item back to you, remember to reward it with a biscuit.

2. When the dog can recognize the items you want it to find without hesitation, you can add more things that it does not like to pick up. Now you can let it know the name of such things. For example, put the TV remote control in front of it and say "Where is the remote control?" or hide it behind your back and say "Where is the remote control?" You can also try to put the TV remote control in front of it. After putting something away, ask it to pick it up. After it can complete the task, give it a new task.
