Panillo Dog Training Techniques

1. Force

The owner uses mechanical stimulation and threatening tone commands to force the Papillon Dog to perform corresponding actions accurately. . Forced training is mainly used for early training of Papillon dogs in order to strengthen the formation of their conditioned reflexes. Under the influence of external incentives, when the butterfly dog ​​cannot smoothly follow the commands and gestures, forced methods can also be used. This method must be combined with rewards, that is, every time the butterfly dog ​​is forced to perform correct actions, sufficient rewards must be given.

2. Induction

The breeder uses the food and objects that the butterfly dog ​​likes to induce the butterfly dog ​​to make some actions or take advantage of the butterfly dog's spontaneous actions. It is a means of combining actions with commands and gestures to establish conditioned reflexes or enhance training effects.

3. Reward

A means to strengthen the correct actions of the Papillon Dog, consolidate the behavior that the Papillon Dog has developed, and adjust the Papillon Dog's nervous state. Reward methods include feeding food, petting, playing, and verbal praise of "good". Rewards are extremely important in the training of Papillon dogs, but they must be used properly, otherwise you will not get good results. In the training of butterfly dogs, the principle of "step by step, from simple to complex, adapting to the dog's conditions, and treating them separately" must be followed.

Training Papillon Dogs to urinate and defecate at a certain location

1) Place a potty in a certain place, put old newspapers in it, and spread some sand or ash on top. During a certain period of time, such as: in the morning after feeding After getting up, before going to bed at night. Lead the dog to the place where the potty is placed. If the dog can defecate in the potty, the dog should be trained to caress or reward food. Sometimes the butterfly dog ​​may not urinate and defecate within this time, and it doesn’t matter. Let it go after a certain period of time.

2) If you see a butterfly dog ​​not urinating in the designated place, you should scold it severely after it finishes urinating, let the butterfly dog ​​know that you don't like it to urinate here, and then put it away Take it to a designated place to urinate. After patient training and training, butterfly dogs can gradually develop the habit of defecating in a fixed place.

3) When training Papillon dogs, it should be noted that the potty cannot be moved, and some sand from the last defecation should be left so that the dog can find the place to defecate through the smell. In addition, Papillon dogs have the habit of peeing on the roadside as a sign when they go out. This is the nature of Papillon dogs and should be distinguished from urinating and urinating anywhere. However, on city streets, this habit of Papillon dogs is also harmful to hygiene. Therefore, when dog owners take their butterfly dogs out, they must wear a collar and use a leash to guide them.

Train Papillon Dogs to pose gracefully

1) At present, famous dog display and selection activities have begun to be held in China, which has put forward higher requirements for dog lovers. In the selection, in addition to observing whether the appearance of the butterfly dog ​​is beautiful,The quality of your standing posture is also the key to winning. Therefore, it is necessary to train Papillon dogs to maintain good posture. To this end, the Papillon's fear of falling can be used to perform the exercise in a small area and above the ground, using a small table or a raised wooden board.

2) First, the butterfly dog ​​is held on the small table, its hind legs are close to the edge of the small table, and its hand is released. Because the dog is afraid of falling, he feels weak and wants to lie down. At this time, we need to hold its chest or chin with one hand, and gently pull the tail of the butterfly dog ​​back with the other hand. Be careful not to just pull the hair of the tail to prevent pain. The hand holding the chest is also pushed back to prevent the dog from sitting.

3) When the butterfly dog ​​senses that its hind feet will lose support and will step into space if it retreats further, it will naturally lean forward and straighten up, with its forelimbs firmly planted and its toes tightened, showing a kind of straight limbs. , a standard posture with head held high. As long as this method is repeated many times, the Papillon Dog can learn it. Even if it stands on flat ground, as long as we hold the tail and pull it backward, the Papillon Dog will reflexively assume a standard graceful posture.

Train the Papillon to sit

When training the Papillon, let the Papillon stand on the left side of the owner. While giving the "sit" command, lift the collar with your right hand and press the dog's waist with your left hand. . When the butterfly dog ​​is forced to sit down under this mechanical stimulation, a reward should be given immediately. After repeated training for many times, the butterfly dog ​​can develop the movement of sitting down. On this basis, training is carried out in conjunction with gestures. If you ask him to sit on the front, stretch his right arm forward and flat, his forearm is vertical upward, and his palm faces forward to form an "L" shape; if he sits on the left side, tap his left abdomen with his left hand. If the dog can already do the "sitting" action, it should be gradually trained to extend the time it can sit, from being able to sit for 3-5 seconds until it is extended to more than 5 minutes.

Training Papillon Dogs to lie down

1) The action of lying down should be done after learning the "sitting" action. When training a butterfly dog, there are two methods: one is that the owner is on the right side of the dog, facing the butterfly dog, holding the food in his right hand, slowly moving downward from the top of the butterfly dog's mouth, and at the same time giving the lie down command , and pull the tow strap. Pull the rope down to stimulate it.

2) At this time, the butterfly dog ​​can lie down under food and mechanical stimulation. When the butterfly dog ​​lies down, reward the dog with food in time. Later, as the conditioned reflex develops, rewards and stimulation will be gradually removed. Another method is to let the dog get down. The owner should squat down, hold the two forelimbs of the butterfly dog ​​with both hands, stretch them forward, and use the left arm to press the dog's shoulder blade. The butterfly dog ​​will then be trained within a certain distance and combined with gestures. , in order to improve its level of movement, extend the command distance, and be able to lie down for more than 5 minutes according to the owner's commands and gestures.

TrainingTraining the butterfly dog ​​to stand

When training the butterfly dog, make the butterfly dog ​​sit down first, then gently pull the leash, give the "stand" command and gesture, and extend the right arm in the direction of the butterfly dog. With the palm of your hand facing upward, reward the butterfly 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.

Training Papillon Dogs to bow

Based on the "standing" action. When training a butterfly dog, the owner stands opposite the dog and issues the "stand" command. After the butterfly dog ​​stood firm, he issued the command "Thank you". At the same time, he grabbed the front limb of the butterfly dog ​​with one hand and moved it up and down. After a few repetitions, touch and reward the food. Then put some distance away from the butterfly dog ​​and do not need any help when giving the command. If the dog can't do it, repeat a few times until the dog can do it. At the beginning of training, simple gestures can be added, but the conditioned reflex of the butterfly dog ​​to gestures should be prevented. When the movements are very stable, as long as the "Thank you" command is given, a series of reflection activities such as standing and snuggling can be completed at one time without issuing two commands.

Things to note when training a Papillon Dog

(1) Be patient and perseverant, and do not beat or scold the Papillon Dog because of its slow response or refusal to train. If you use rough behaviors such as cursing and kicking, the dog will form a conditioned reflex that is related to training and being beaten, causing the dog to flinch and panic, which will make the dog resist training.

(2) You must persist and don’t give up halfway. Don't expect all Papillon dogs to be "geniuses". Many movements are achieved through perseverance and repeated training. Therefore, every command and action in training must be repeated until the Papillon learns it and does it correctly. Do not give up or give in halfway. Completely learn one movement before moving on to the next movement.

(3) The training should be completed by one person. Do not make the butterfly dog ​​confused due to inconsistent passwords and requirements caused by multiple training. The training of Papillon dogs is best done by the people at home who are closest to the dogs, such as people who often feed, brush and bathe Papillon dogs. Even when one person is training, the tone and password must be consistent and cannot be changed casually. In addition, the family members should have the same attitude and work together to complete daily training such as teaching the butterfly dog ​​to eat, walk, and use the toilet.

(4) The tone must be soft and the language must be brief. Papillon dogs are very sensitive animals. When training, especially when starting to teach new content, the tone should be gentle and accompanied by appropriate gestures and expressions. The password should be clear, short, crisp, and generally no more than 3 words, so that the Papillon can easily understand, remember, and accept it. OtherIn addition, different tones should be used for Papillon dogs with different temperaments. For example, if the same command is "sit", the passive defense-reactive Papillon should be ordered docilely, and the active Papillon should be ordered loudly. Dog owners can choose different methods according to their dog's personality type.

(5) The training time of Papillon Dog should not be too long each time, no more than 15 minutes at most. Whenever the butterfly dog ​​does the right action, rewards should be given in time, such as praise, petting, or giving it favorite food, so that the butterfly dog ​​will gradually become interested in training. In addition, training can also be carried out in daily life such as walking, eating, visitors, etc., so that the Papillon Dog can gradually form a memory.

(6) When reprimanding a butterfly dog, do not call the butterfly dog’s name directly. When a dog does something "wrong", if the dog's name is scolded together, it will form a conditioned reflex and the dog will be scolded when its name is called. Therefore, the next time the butterfly dog's name is called, Dagger will panic and even run away.

(7) Rewards and punishments must be clear. Papillon dogs are rich in emotions and are very sensitive to rewards and punishments. If it behaves well, pat it on the head and say "good job" and give it some delicious food. If a mistake is made, reprimand it and give it a light punishment. In addition, do not tease the Papillon during training, but try your best to gain the dog's trust so that the training will not cause panic or hostility in the Papillon.
