[Training steps]

1. Choose an experienced trainer and hide it after being appropriately disguised. The dog owner will tie the dog at a certain distance from the assistant trainer's hiding place, and the dog owner will stand next to the dog. The assistant trainer holds a stick in his right hand and wears a protective sleeve in his left hand. He emerges from a hiding place and makes various violent movements from far to near. He hits the ground with a whip or stick, sometimes attacks and retreats, and tries every possible means to tease the dog and make it bark wildly. ; The dog owner encourages the dog to pounce on the assistant trainer and rewards it with the "good" command. After the dog's ferocity is aroused, the assistant trainer can walk up to the dog, and when the dog opens its mouth, hand over the protective sleeve to the dog and let the dog bite; when the dog bites and persists, the assistant trainer can take off the protective sleeve. And continue to tease the dog with a stick to make the dog hostile to the assistant trainer; at this time, the assistant trainer should retreat to the hiding place while teasing. After several times of this type of training, when the dog can successfully complete the training subjects, it can move to the next step and training.

2. Select a training location in advance and hide the assistant at the training location. When the dog owner takes the dog to the training ground and lets the dog sit in a hidden position, the dog owner squats half-squat and gives the dog an "attention" command, and the assistant immediately makes a sound to remind the dog; after a short pause, the dog comes out of hiding appear somewhere. Use a stick or a branch to continuously hit the ground, make sneaky movements, etc. When the dog's ferocity reaches the level of attacking the assistant coach, the dog owner should issue an "attack" command to let the dog bite. ; At this point, the assistant should be afraid of being knocked back. The final escape failed. The dog owner encourages the dog by constantly issuing "attack" and "good" commands, and then ends the training.

3. After repeated training with the above method, when the dog develops the courage to attack and bite the assistant trainer and keeps biting, the dog should be trained to "let go". The basic method is that after the dog owner makes the dog bite the assistant's sleeve, the assistant resists for a while, then lowers his arm.Keep the protective sleeve close to the ground and remain still. At this time, the dog owner gives the "release" command and pulls the leash back slightly. Some dogs will let go as long as they hear the "release" command from the owner, but some dogs will not let go under such circumstances. The trainer should repeat the command, pull the traction rope backwards, and cut the dog's body with his left hand. Pinch the bridge of the nose or pinch the dog's thigh, forcing the dog to let go. When the dog develops preliminary conditioned reflexes, the training distance is gradually increased to the point where the dog can be commanded to "release" from a longer distance.

4. After the above training is completed, you can start training the dog's ability to monitor the bitten object. The method is that the dog owner uses a long leash to control the dog. When the dog bites the assistant, the owner tells the dog to let go. The assistant stops teasing and raises his hands to surrender. The dog owner orders the dog to monitor the assistant. If the dog looks around or attempts to return to the owner, the assistant trainer should immediately escape or fight, redirect the dog to attack the assistant trainer; when the dog bites the assistant trainer, the assistant trainer should immediately stop fighting, and the dog owner Let the dog watch again. After repeated training in this way for many times, the dog will be able to develop surveillance capabilities and monitor the biting target.
