Basic Principles: Baby, I am your boss!

The reason why a dog dares to "bully" you is because you failed to become its owner, but it thinks that its status in the family is higher than yours. This is not true at all. Because they inherently understand "status" and "rank". We all know that dogs evolved from wolves, and wolves are very social wild animals. One of the most obvious examples is that in the process of sharing prey, the wolf with the highest level will eat the food first, and The lower the level of the wolf, the less food it will receive. Humans have also made good use of the "hierarchy" concept of wolves and have successfully domesticated them into their loyal companions. Therefore, you must not let it become your master. To put it more seriously, you have destroyed more than 10,000 years of human domestication!

In theory, any dog ​​should exist for human needs. For example, hounds are used to help people hunt, guide dogs are used to help people with disabilities, and pet dogs are used to meet human spiritual needs; of course, these needs are mutual, and dogs also rely on humans for survival, because we generously provide They provide food and warmth. H. "Mutual need" is the reason why humans and dogs have lived in harmony for more than 10,000 years. Dogs must obey human laws, which is the basis of your common life. Imagine if a dog does not obey anyone, if it wants to obey anyone, if it is unwilling to bid, if it even bites, will it become a burden in life?

So you must understand your position with it and establish a correct relationship between you and it.

You are a parent, but not the warden

We need to understand that behaviors such as hostility, yelling, and fighting are very bad. If If left unchecked, these behaviors are likely to get worse and even become potential threats.

Some other behaviors, such as chewing, running, and leaning, are dogs’ nature. We should not stop them, but find a suitable way to let them vent. For example, dog chew glue can be well used to satisfy the dog's desire to chew and prevent it from destroying items.

3 small ways to subdue naughty dogsDogs

Some people may think that asking dogs to obey The best way to do it yourself is to force them. In fact, coercion can play a role, but the effect is not ideal. When dogs obey you out of fear, they will become cautious and lose confidence in themselves, so it will be difficult for you to establish a mutually dependent friendship, and it will also lose the essence of happiness. Regardless, it's sad. So, here are some gentle and effective methods for you. Would you like to try it on?

Method 1: I sit and you stand, while I eat and you watch

We have mentioned before that the most hierarchical behavior among wolves is the order of "eating", and dogs have also maintained this nature. Therefore, when eating, you can prepare their food and put it in front of them, but do not allow them to eat it. If you can't control your dog well, put them in a cage or on a leash and put food where they can see it but not eat it.

At this time, you can eat your food in front of them. No matter how they protest, you must ignore them and never give in. When you're done eating, let them eat again. In this way, they will understand that the leader eats first.

Method 2: Conquer you with my eyes

Do you remember how you managed your boyfriend? Get out of the hospital! Yes, this is discharge. But when it comes to your dog, you can't glare at it or it will take care of you. If you're sure it won't attack you, let it lie on the ground with its feet pointing up, then hold them down with your hands on your chest and drain them out with a serious eye. At this time, the dog will obey you. They usually have ears set back and tails cropped short to avoid your serious eyes. They dare not look at you. If so, you will succeed. There is no need to continue threatening it. Instead, let it go, reward it with gentle eyes, words and strokes, and let the dog know that if it obeys, it will be rewarded by its owner.

Method 3: If you don’t accept it, I will ignore you

"I hate you, I'll ignore you!" It looks a bit like what you would say when you act coquettishly to your boyfriend. When your dog cannot accept you or is aggressive towards you, the best way is still not to force it, but to ignore it. What a dog can't stand the most is not that you force it, but that you don't pay attention to it. You can also use this method when your dog's behavior does not satisfy you and you need to punish it.

The specific method is to limit it to an independent space, not to see it, not to think about it, and to pretend that it does not exist at all. This is a punishment that is even more intolerable to the dog than violence.

Adu sings like this, you have to do it! You have to stick to your dog's demands and never let up once. Know that dogs are habitual animals. In its mind, it will think "I have done this before, I can continue to do it in the future." So, if you relent even once, your training program will most likely be abandoned.

In addition, sometimes, your dog will be smarter than you think, and they will persist, step by step, and finally achieve their goal. At this time, you have to be indifferent.end. For example, if you don't want it to go on the sofa, you must absolutely prohibit it. If the dog succeeds, it will think, "This sofa belongs to me, I can be on it, as long as the owner can't see it, that's fine.

Not only must you remain indifferent to the end, but you must also restrain your family members. Many times, men are more likely to give in. To humans, this is manly tolerance; but to dogs, this is indulgence. Many times, in order to ensure the effectiveness of training, you have to establish a "gentleman's agreement" with your family.

Tips: Don’t change easily

Just like your love for it will not change easily, your requirements for it will not change easily either.

If a dog has done something before and you suddenly stop, it will be confused and even think, why does the owner no longer love me?

So you have to establish a life plan for it and unify it with your family. What can be done, where can be gone, and what behaviors should be controlled.
