How to train a Portuguese Bodenco to fetch balls? Generally, parents who raise dogs have a habit of training their dogs to fetch balls or Frisbees thrown by their owners. So how to train them successfully?< /p>

First of all, you should make some preparations before starting training, prepare the tools needed for training, and let the dog adapt to the training in advance. For example, give your dog a ball to play with so that he can get used to having something in his mouth all the time.

Secondly, the passwords for training must be specified in advance, such as "pick up the ball", "no", etc. In addition, the dog must first be trained to obey commands, at least absolutely obey the owner's words, so that the dog can be better controlled during the training process.

Third, try to train the pet dog. The trainer holds the ball in his hand, throws it far away, be careful not to keep it too far, and then orders the dog to pick up the ball. Of course, when training first begins, the dog is unfamiliar with various commands, so the trainer needs to guide it to pick up the ball. Let it develop a habit. After knowing the meaning of the password, let it pick up the ball by itself.

Fourth, when the pet dog picks up the ball, you must order it back. If the pet dog can successfully bring the ball to you, then you must give it some rewards. For example, petting it, giving it snacks, etc. are all good ways to reward it.
