How to train a Samoyed to pretend to be dead? For today’s Samoyeds, pretending to be dead is more of a performance and does not have much practical significance. The editor below will share with you my experience in training Samoyed to play dead.

Samoyed training experience of pretending to be dead:

First of all, we need to let the Samoyed learn to lie down. This task is relatively simple. If the Samoyed will not fall down on his own, we can gently push the Samoyed down with our hands and cooperate with the instruction to lie down. The difficulty lies in the Samoyed cooperating with the gunshot and lying down in time. After we shoot, that is, after simulating the sound of shooting, if the Samoyed does not fall down, we need to push it down with our hands and comfort it. Make it feel like lying down is a pleasure. After lying down, you can give a certain amount of caress or reward. Over time, it will be able to associate the sound of gunshots with lying down, without having to give a "password".

Lie down - delay, let the Samoyed lie down and don't move around. This is the key to the success or failure of the Samoyed's performance of pretending to be dead. If the Samoyed is "resurrected" without the owner's order, then the performance will obviously become a comedy. When the Samoyed lies down, it will try to get up after a while. At this time, you have to say no to it and press it down again. Give it food encouragement after it lies down quietly.

Remember, do not issue the "lie down" command again, and do not call its name. Make it understand that this is a continuation of the command just now, and the command has not been lifted. It must wait until the owner calls its name. Can make it up. This lying down-delay training also needs to be slowly extended for a longer period of time, and cannot be accomplished overnight or rush for success. This process seems simple, but it is actually not easy to operate. Delayed training requires a lot of patience from the Samoyed and the owner.

Although some cannot get up on their own, they may jump up when stimulated. For example, we gently stir the Samoyed with our feet, or hear an abnormal noise, and for the purpose of training, we need to improve this situation. If your Samoyed tries to get up, stop him in time, keep him in a lying down position and give him encouragement.

Samoyeds can only get up when they hear us calling their name or get the command to get up. At this time, the owner needs to "awaken" the Samoyed with a relatively high-pitched and enthusiastic voice, and the password must be clear and decisive to avoid confusing the Samoyed. When the Samoyed gets up, we must also encourage the Samoyed in time. At this time, it is best not to use food as a reward, but simply touch and encourage.

Each training time does not need to be too long, usually 15-20 minutes is enough. You can train them after a period of rest to help them strengthen their memory. The training place does not need to be too quiet, so that Samoyed can know in a timely mannerIf you hear an unusual noise, you still can't get up if you don't receive your own instructions.
