Steps to train a dog to play dead

1. Listen to the command and get on all fours

1. Say "get down" and make a gesture at the same time. Think of it yourself so as not to confuse the dog. Just fine. Because dogs have better memory for gestures than sounds, performing gestures and sounds at the same time will achieve better results.

2. Then there are two ways to get the dog to lie down if it is sitting.
First, gently pull the dog's front paw, and it will automatically slide forward and lie down.
Second, if you press down on the dog's shoulder blades with a little force, the dog will slide back and become a prone position.

3. After the dog is ready to lie down, it then makes a specific sound, such as "bang" (you decide this yourself), and at the same time makes a hand gesture similar to a pistol. Immediately after the gesture + vocal command, gently push the dog with your hands, pushing it to a position on all fours.

2. Stay still

1. This is the key to the success or failure of a dog pretending to be dead. If the dog "resurrects" without the owner's order, it will make people laugh. . When your dog lies down and tries to get up, you should say "no" to it, hold it down again, and encourage it with food after it lies down quietly.

2. Lie down - the training of delaying should also be done slowly and for a longer period of time. You cannot achieve it overnight and rush for success. This is a process that seems simple but is actually complicated. Delay training requires the patience of both the dog and the owner.

3. Keep repeating

Lie down) Gesture + vocal command 1) Push the dog 1) All fours in the air 1) Wait a few seconds and give a reward.
It should be considered based on the dog's performance. If the dog has learned it N times without making any progress, consider teaching in a different way. However, each dog's learning ability is different, and each dog's learning steps may not be the same, so the above is for reference only. You can make specific adjustments based on the actual situation of your dog.

Teaching a dog to play dead can change the environment and test the concentration

In a quiet environment at home, if the dog can be obedient, you can then take it to a quiet place outdoors. Repeat the training activity again, remembering that you need to be in control so you can give orders. If your dog can be obedient in a quiet place indoors or outdoors, you can take your dog to a noisier environment to train its concentration.

Notes on teaching dogs to play dead

1. Dogs have a much shorter time to concentrate than people. Training a dog should not exceed fifteen minutes at most. You can have Two training sessions.
2. The most important thing in training a dog is to guide it to do actions, rather than forcing it to press or push it down.
3. Patience! ResistantHeart! Patience! Say important things three times!
p.s. Although I do not encourage teaching dogs to perform actions, but should teach them good living habits and behavior patterns that are more suitable for human society, but action training can enhance the dog’s obedience ability. , strengthen the relationship between the dog and the owner, and encourage the dog to think proactively.
