How to train a rat terrier? Do you also want an obedient little angel? So how to train to be more obedient? The following editor will share with you the training method of a rat terrier.

Rat Terrier training method:

1. Mechanical stimulation method

Mechanical stimulation is a method that uses instruments to control the behavior of rat terriers when they do not obey instructions. The most commonly used is a leash (dog leash). When traveling and training rat terriers, parents should take the initiative in the direction. If the child does not act according to the parent's intention, you can pull the leash to force the child not to do anything against the parent's wishes.

2. Food reward training method

The food stimulation method is to give food rewards when the mastiff is successfully trained or attracts its attention to mobilize training enthusiasm. If you only train and ignore rewards, the rat terrier will feel that training is a very meaningless thing, and all training methods are in vain. Food can stimulate the mastiff's conditioned reflex and let it know that there are benefits if it is obedient.

3. Combined training method

This method is to use mechanical methods to force the rat terrier to act according to instructions when it refuses to accept training, and at the same time, rewards should be given when the action is successful or there is improvement. If the intensity of mechanical stimulation is too high and too frequent, it will cause the mastiff to have the opposite reflex. It will fear and avoid every time it is trained, and it will not remember the essentials of the movements. Although rewards are necessary, they must be appropriate. If there are too many rewards, it will affect normal appetite and will not be conducive to future training. Touching and verbal praise can be combined to achieve the purpose of reward. Parents should show their true feelings.

IV. Imitation training method

The imitation training method is to let the trained rat terrier watch how a well-trained rat terrier is trained and rewarded, and be affected and inspired by it. This method can vividly and effectively let the rat terrier understand what to do, and the training effect is sometimes inferior to the mechanical stimulation method. Little VIA is influenced and inspired by VIA, making it easier to train. So the offense is seriously flawed.

5. Things to note

1. Make friends: As a parent of a dog, you must first make friends with the dog. Otherwise, you will not be able to gain the respect and trust of the dog, and you will not be the true owner of the dog. In order for the dog to receive education, the instructor's love for the dog and his own quality are extremely important issues. If you want to teach a dog to do things, you need to carefully observe and analyze its mental state, work tirelessly, teach it step by step, patiently and repeatedly. Therefore, the instructor must be patient, have strong self-control, and have more love for the dog in order to educate it better.

2. Obedience: When educating a dog, you cannot just use a simple reward method, that is, let it do the action, and give material rewards after completion. Instead, use people’s will, that is, guide people so that they can be rewarded. The real reward is the love of parentsHeart, for a dog, nothing makes it happier than the love of its parents. Food and toys cannot replace love. If a dog can be made to obey commands through education, it will also understand people's thoughts. Therefore, even if a dog that is basically obedient to people is taught difficult actions, it will be able to understand and follow them immediately. At the same time, it can also improve its obedience.

Six. Basic training methods and techniques

When training rat terrier dogs, there are some basic methods and techniques that you should pay attention to. For example, you must continue to encourage, and at the same time, the training time for rat terrier puppies should not be too long to avoid early boredom in the dog. At the same time, it is best to add gestures and sounds when training rat terrier dogs.

　1. When training rat terriers, you should praise them more and perform adequately

When training Rat Terrier dogs, you must praise them more and reprimand them less. This way the dog will be interested in continuing to obey your training. Rat Terrier puppies, like people, will show an increasingly strong enthusiasm for learning if they are constantly encouraged. Similarly, if you plan to encourage a rat terrier dog, it is best to praise it fully and the sound should be short and clear. For example, "Xiao Sa, that's great!" "Dog, that's great!". This can bring greater joy and satisfaction to the dog.

2. Communicate more with rat terrier dogs before training

Before training a rat terrier dog, it is very important to fully communicate with the dog first. Because dogs also have various personalities, some dogs are dumber, while some dogs are very smart, some dogs only need to be scolded once to learn what they are interested in, and some dogs become more disobedient the more they scold them. For example, among dogs, golden retrievers are relatively gentle, while huskies are less receptive to discipline. Therefore, the same is true before training a rat terrier. Whether you scold the dog or praise the dog, you must observe the rat terrier's reaction to properly grasp the scale. Over time, you will know what your dog's personality is and how it reacts. , and then it becomes much easier to train.

　3. You must be patient when training a rat terrier

No matter what kind of dog you are training, the most important thing is to have patience and persistence. The same goes for training rat terrier dogs: the most important thing is to be persistent and not to schedule too much time every day, but to do it step by step without haste. If the parent can't muster the energy to train it first, the dog will be sensitive to your emotions and become indifferent. On the contrary, if a training is arranged for too long, the dog will feel that there is nothing new and will not be too focused on learning.

　4. Pay attention to the use of gestures

When a Rat Terrier does something it shouldn't do, scold it with "Bold!" and when it follows the parent's orders, praise it with "Awesome." These two sentences are a compliment.Derogatory terms should become the basic words that make it stick. If your rat terrier dog is not obedient, be aware that you can use appropriate hand signals.

For example, when you are "bold", you can face the dog's eyes with your flat palm and use a stop gesture to warn it. If the dog still cannot understand this action, you can reach out your fingers and tap the dog's nose lightly a few times. If you still don't listen, rolling the newspaper into a long tube and gently tapping it a few times is also very effective, but be careful not to hit it too much or too hard. Too severe corporal punishment may cause damage to the character of some dogs with strong understanding.
