Dog standing posture training

Take advantage of the dog's fear of falling and conduct it in a small area that is higher than the ground. You can use a small table or a raised pad. wooden planks. First, hold the dog on the small table, put its hind legs close to the edge of the small table, and let go of the hand. The dog is afraid of falling, so its limbs become weak and wants to lie down. At this time, we need to hold its front with one hand. chest or chin, and use the other hand to gently pull the dog's tail back. Be careful not to pull only the tail hair to prevent pain. The hand holding the chest also pushes back to prevent the dog from sitting down. When the dog realizes that its hind feet will lose support and will miss the mark if it retreats further, it will instinctively lean forward and straighten up, with its forelimbs firmly planted and its toes tightened, showing a standard of straight limbs and head held high. attitude. As long as this method is repeated many times, the dog will learn it. Even if it stands on flat ground in the future, as long as we hold the tail and pull it backward, the dog will reflexively assume a standard graceful posture.

Dog sit training

This is a training component that is combined with other subjects. The trained dog is required to sit down quickly and correctly after hearing the command, and to persist for a certain period of time.

During the training, the owner stands on the left side of the dog and issues the "sit" command. At the same time, use your right hand to lift the dog above its neck and use your left hand to press the dog's waist corner. When the dog is forced to sit under this mechanical stimulation, a reward should be given immediately. After repeated training, the dog can develop a sitting posture. On this basis, combined with gesture training. If you are sitting in the front row, extend your right arm outwards, with your forearm vertically upward and your palm in an "L" shape. If you are sitting on the left side, tap your left abdomen with your left hand. If the dog can sit well, it should be gradually trained to extend the sitting time from 3 to 5 seconds to more than 5 minutes.

Dog lying down training

The lying down action should be carried out after the "sitting" action is learned. During training, two methods can be used: First, the owner is on the right side of the dog, facing the dog, holding the food in his right hand, slowly moving from the top of the dog's mouth downwards, and at the same time giving the lie down command, and pulling the traction rope downwards. Give stimulation. At this time, the dog can lie down under food and mechanical stimulation. When the dog lies down, reward food in time. Later, as the conditioned reflex develops, rewards and stimulation will be gradually removed. Another method is to make the dog sit down. The owner should squat down, hold the dog's two forelimbs with both hands, stretch them forward, and press the dog's shoulder blade with his left arm. The dog will then lie down. At this time, he should be given with reward food. In the future, the dog should be trained within a certain distance, combined with gestures (left arm drooped, palm forward, palm down, and waving up and down) to improve its level of action, extend the command distance, and be able to follow the owner's command The ability to lie down for more than 5 minutes with hand gestures.

Dog standing training

Shilling dog sits down during training, then gently pull the traction rope, give the "stand" command and gesture (stretch your right arm toward the dog, palm upward), and reward the dog when it stands. The owner should gradually leave the dog's side so that the dog can stand longer. On this basis, gradually develop the ability to stand according to gestures or commands and last for a certain period of time.

Dog bow training

It is based on the "standing" movement. During training, the owner stands opposite the dog and first gives the "stand" command. When the dog stands firm, he gives the "thank you" command. At the same time, he grabs the dog's forelimb with one hand and swings it up and down. After repeating it several times, give petting and reward food. Then keep a distance from the dog and no longer use your hands to assist when giving commands. If the dog can't do it, repeat it a few more times until the dog can do it. At the beginning of training, you can add some simple gestures, but you must prevent the dog from conditioned reflexes to the gestures. When the movement is very stable, as long as the "Thank you" command is given, the series of reflex activities of standing and bowing will be completed in one go, without the need to give the command twice.
