Reward dogs with food and water

Food is the easiest thing to think of, and it is indeed the form of reward that most dogs like. However, many owners ignore that water is also a reward. To survive in nature, food and water are scarce resources that need to be found and fought for, but pet dogs living in human society do not need to find these survival needs. Most owners leave a large bowl of food and water for their dogs because they work long hours. When life becomes too moist, these things that are originally necessities for survival are no longer rewards in their eyes. The owner can try it. After it finishes exercising, go home and listen to the instructions and then give it a basin of water. It will be very happy.

Toys for rewarding dogs

Attractive toys can make dogs excited as soon as they see them, so toys can of course be rewards for dogs. But many owners say that dogs don’t seem to be very interested in toys. This is because toys are too easy to get and they don’t cherish them. Rewards should not be obtained casually, so toys should be put away at ordinary times, and the opportunity to play should be cherished. Such rewards are the most attractive.

Reward the dog with petting

Dogs will resist the owner's touch and hugs at first, but when the dog gets used to the close relationship with the owner, they will default to being touched and hugged. An intimate act of pleasure, so they move from dislike to acceptance, and from acceptance to love. So when the owner gently strokes and hugs the dog, it can feel that this is a reward for its actions from the owner.
The owner can look at it and give it eye contact, which is also a reward. Letting the dog sit quietly next to the owner while talking to it softly is an action by the owner to convey love and release emotions. For the dog, this calm and gentle relationship is also a reward.

Understanding what rewards are is very important for training dogs

Who gives rewards is a very important process in forming status relationships. If rewards can be obtained at home instead of being rewarded by the owner, then the dog will not feel that the owner is the boss who can control its life elements and quality of life, and the owner's status will naturally not be high; if rewards are always given by someone in the family If given, of course the dog will be more submissive to this person.
Under what circumstances the reward is given is the key to allowing the dog to form a correct behavioral response. If the dog does something right, the owner will reward it. If the dog does something right that makes the owner happier, the owner will give a higher level of reward, which will reinforce the dog's correct behavior again and again. When the dog does something wrong, the owner thinks he wants to appease it, so he tries to calm it down by stroking, hugging, and speaking softly. This is equivalent to rewarding the dog for its wrong behavior, and he will find that it becomes more and more disobedient.
