Dog Searching RoomOutdoor Training Methods

Choose open areas such as bushes, grass, small pits, etc. as search training grounds. In front of the dog, the owner runs three items that smell like the owner or that are easy for the dog to hold in his mouth, and run in different directions to distant grass (preferably 10 meters away, but not too far away). After a while, give the dog the "search" command and gesture (the palm of your right hand is facing down, pointing to the direction or object you are searching for), and let the dog search. When the dog finds the object and brings it back, immediately reward him with food and petting, order him to search for the second object, and train repeatedly.

When the dog can successfully find the thrown object, you can change the method of throwing the object to hide it in advance. The dog can be tied up in a hidden place, the owner takes out some objects for entertainment, and then quickly leaves, hiding the objects and scattering them in different places. Then he took the dog and asked him to search one by one. If the dog searches passively because it cannot see the parabola, the owner can guide and sniff more things to help the dog find things together. When the dog finds the first item and brings it back, he is rewarded with food and an immediate touch. He can also be confirmed by touch and praise, and then he is ordered to move on to the next item. When the dog finds these three things and brings them back, dog food and pet rewards should be given in time.

As training progresses, the search objects can be gradually changed to small and valuable things, so that the dog can have more practical abilities.

Indoor training methods for dogs to find things

First, choose a room with simple furnishings that the dog is familiar with. First, order the dog to sit outside the door. The owner can use an item that he often uses and that the dog likes. After teasing the dog for a while, the owner can put the item into a less conspicuous place indoors. Then issue the command "search" and a gesture (palm of your right hand facing down, pointing to the direction or object to be searched) to guide the dog into the room to search.

If the dog is actively searching, you should praise the dog immediately; if the dog is searching passively, you should also encourage him and guide him to find the items. Once found, reward immediately. Slowly, you can gradually cancel the parabolic mode, but hide the item in advance and then order the dog to search. As the training progresses, the dog gradually adapts to different places and looks for different products.

Training Precautions

During the search training process, do not frequently train in the same place. The training location should be changed frequently, but each change must be done first. Dogs are familiar with their environment. The search area should be gradually expanded as the dog's ability improves. In the early stages of indoor search training, there should be gaps in the cabinets where items are placed to make it easier for dogs to find them.
