Sports level dogs need to start training when they are 6-7 weeks old

When the puppy is about 6-7 weeks old, we start training the puppy to stand on the table. We use food to train them to stand up straight and focus on me. Each training session does not need to be too long. When you first start training, 5-8 minutes each session is enough. Don't bore your puppy. Place food in front of his mouth to induce him to lean forward. Then position the puppy's limbs and use the command "Stand stay" or "Stay". After holding it for about 3-5 seconds, reward him with food. Slowly extend the time you stand. If he keeps moving forward (because he wants to get the food from your hand), you should put his front grip on the edge of the table. He knew that if he walked forward he would fall, and he should be able to stand still.

By eight weeks of age, they should be able to stand still on a table and we will take photos of the puppies to help evaluate their potential as a competition dog. But we can’t tell whether they are competition dogs just by looking at the photos. We also have to use my hands to feel and use tools to measure the puppy’s skeleton structure, and observe their gait and personality. Innate quality and acquired training are equally important.

Just some older dogs, you can teach them to stand on the ground at any time, not when they are first trained or photographed. Because the big dogs don't play at the table.

Sports level dog training3-4 months old

When the puppy is about 3-4 months old, we start to train the puppy to walk with a leash. Use food or toys to entice them to follow us. I like to use the "Let's Go!" command. If they don't want to follow, let them explore around and let them get used to having the leash around their neck, then teach them to follow you with food and the "Let's Go!" command. At the same time, after their vaccinations, it is very important to take the puppy out to meet different strangers and dogs. They have to get used to being touched by strangers because they need to be checked by judges during competitions.

A dog that is timid and afraid of strangers will definitely suffer in the competition! If circumstances permit, when taking the puppy outside to meet strangers, put the puppy into a show pose, and then call your friends or Strangers on the street touch the puppy's body and look at the dog's teeth. (Note: The stranger must be gentle when touching the dog, so as not to scare the puppy.) When a stranger touches your dog, you should continue to praise the puppy softly to let him know that even though he is being touched by a stranger, you are still by his side. After touching, don't forget to reward him with food. Praise like "Good boy, Good girl" is very important. You need to give your puppy lots of encouragement and praise to strengthen his self-confidence.

Sports level dogtraining at six months old

By 6 months of age, puppies should be ready for their first competition and can officially participate in dog shows. In the United States, participating dogs must be at least 6 months old. If you want to win, you have to have a good dog and a good steward, it's essential! but! As I said before, "A good steward can make a bad dog look good, but a bad steward can make a good dog look bad." If you are a good steward, you know your dog With all its shortcomings, you can hide his shortcomings while showing off his strengths.

You know what the correct speed is for your dog to run at. Use food to train them to look at you, use the command "Watch me" or "cookie", and train them to use their ears. At dog shows, it is very important to show your dog's expression in front of the judges. Teach your dog Free Baitng, meaning you don't have to pose for it and it stands perfectly on its own. To teach that, you need to teach your dog "Stand Stay" and then use a leash to lead him to set his feet into the proper position. I use the command, "Step" or "Step up" or "Fix it" and once his feet are in place, give him some food and praise.

When the judge comes to inspect your dog, say hello to the judge and say "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon." When the referee finishes checking your dog, say "Thank you." Show respect to your referees. Whether your dog wins first place or loses, it’s time to say thank you to the judge. There are losers and winners in the competition. Don't take the results too seriously. Aim to participate and absorb the experience, and enjoy the entire process of being in a dog show.
