Leashes and collars are required for training

All dogs must have a collar and a lead. In the early days, dog owners liked to buy iron chains or stainless steel chains, because dogs would chew up the leashes. However, dogs that have not been properly trained will always drag their owners to rush when they go out. Necklace-like collars often compress the dog's trachea, leading to the problem of "tracheal collapse." If your dog often coughs when he is excited, nervous, drinks water or eats something, it is likely that his trachea is injured. In order to avoid this kind of injury, many owners use a harness instead, but the result is still the same, because when the harness is tightened, it will still compress the dog's trachea. Please remember that collars and leashes are meant to protect your dog from danger when they go out, not to tie them down.

So I would like to advise everyone, it is best to just hang a collar that looks good, and do not rely on it to control your dog. You can use better methods to let your dog know that you want it to be with you at all times, instead of relying on these tools to "control" your dog if it disobeys.

As for the leash, it is basically just fine. As long as the buckle connecting the main leash and the collar is not too heavy, because the pressure caused by the weight of the buckle will make the dog feel uncomfortable. It is best to find a lighter one. A little bit.

Master’s tone and temper control during training

Before formally learning training methods, you must first learn an important point, which is to control your tone and temper. No matter what your original occupation is or what your personality is, when it comes to raising a dog, you should forget that you and the dog are the most important thing.

Whether you are asking your dog to do something, calling it to come, or praising it, don’t always use the same tone of voice. The dog cannot understand your language. Although it will try its best to guess what you mean, it will often guess wrong. Guide the dog, don't let it guess, use some simple methods, not only is it easy for it to understand, but it is also easier for you.

Training dogs requires controlling their tone and temper

Dogs feel better about higher frequency sounds, so you need to use several different tones to help the dog understand what you mean . When praising your dog, use as high a pitch as possible, that is, use a falsetto. Not only do you need to use a falsetto, but you also need to appear happy and joyful, otherwise the dog will roar like a tiger like you.

Some people will be stingy with compliments as long as others are present. Originally, when I saw a well-behaved dog, I would say, "So good!" But once outsiders were around, I would just say, "Be good!" in a low and cold voice, as if I was afraid that others would hear me. The result is: the dog doesn’t understand! What is there to be embarrassed about? It's like your own child. Would you be embarrassed to praise your child?

Dogs feel better at higher frequency sounds

Next, youAsk your dog to cooperate with everything you do, and use words to tell it what to do next. This is not called a command because it is not a command, but a "cue"; a reminder to the dog of what to do next. If it is done, it will be rewarded, and if it is not done, it does not matter. Many people will wonder: "Do I not care if I do something wrong?" That's not the case. The most unique thing about dogs is that they always want to do the right thing! As long as you carefully follow the methods suggested in the book and guide your dog to do the right things every day, it will not do the wrong things, and you naturally don’t have to worry about it doing the wrong things. What should you do? I will give some practical examples later.

These "prompts" are very commonly used, such as: come, sit down, shake hands, wait for me... etc., no matter when and where, you must use your usual speaking tone and speak steadily. Say, don’t change with the ups and downs of your emotions.

The last one is your unhappy tone. This is not commonly used in the guidance methods currently advocated, but if you still can’t get rid of the restraining language, then you can say in a steady tone: No! Or NO!

The "NO" command for training dogs

For language to produce meaning, it is not enough to keep saying it, but to let the language and events produce a certain degree of meaning. association. You can use "get out" to mean go back to sleep. Although it sounds uncomfortable to others, it will be fine if the dog feels comfortable. You could also use "hurry up" for "go pee" or "who's the best" for "handshake." The point is, you need to incorporate these tips into your language and apply them in your life.

Remember, dogs can’t speak Mandarin, let alone English or French. They don’t understand the language at all! If you want them to understand, you must guide them to distinguish between good and bad and various prompts. You will find that it is really simple, but it is not easy at all. Just like playing basketball, if you throw the ball into the basket, you will score. Does it sound simple? But is it easy to do? It is very simple to understand these methods, but just like playing ball, you need to practice and practice continuously to truly learn to use these seemingly simple "language and behavior combination" methods.

Really learn to use these seemingly simple methods of "combining language with behavior"

In addition to controlling your tone, your temper also needs to be controlled. No matter how bad your temper is, never get angry when interacting with your dog, and don’t let it happen because of you.If you don't understand and can't guide the dog, blame the dog. That will make the dog even more confused about what you want, and make it nervous and at a loss. Your anger or yelling at it will scare it and make it confused. Losing your temper will not only not help, but will make the dog more timid or shrinking, and will be unwilling to learn new behaviors in the future, which is not good for people or dogs.

The way someone calls a dog over is: Come...

If the dog does not come, he will continue to say: Come here...

If the dog still doesn’t come, he will get angry and say: Come here...

The dog lost his temper and became afraid, and he didn’t even dare to go over. As a result, most people will become angry. Then, the owner ran over and grabbed the dog and beat it. This is getting angry!
