Every dog needs to know how to treat its owner. For a harmonious relationship between them, the owner should give the dog some time and explain some words, what they mean and how he wants the dog to respond to them. This is called dog training. Words that are used in dressage are called controls.
Every dog is teachable, but it’s good to know them, because they’re all so different. Some are shy, some like to play, some are aggressive and some are very lazy. All dogs are able to understand some basic commands to help homeowners communicate with them.
Primary focus of dog training
Basic dog commands: For controls, we always use the same word. Distance, Sit, Sit, Wait, Stop, Leg, Vote, Get, Leave, Land, Jump, Stop, Forward, Back, Around, Up, Run…
1. Commands, the dog learns slowly, one by one. When he knows the first command, he begins to perceive the others. First, we teach the dog simple commands to sit, paw, lie, and wait.
2. Every dog is not for all controls and all toys. The dog inherits the instincts of his race. If we expect the same behavior as German Shepherds from a dog, we will be disappointed. Any breed of dog is great for some jobs, but won’t work for others.
3. Give your puppy time to let him go into poverty. When they learn new commands (sit..) first, they will only obey for a split second. Then we praise Him. Next time he will sit longer. When we teach the animal, between commands we play with it. The dog should have more time to play than to train.
4. When the dog learns some controls, we add beeps and sounds to the controls. The dog must always obey. Noises and sounds: a ball, a toy whizzing around, spinning around, wrapping around goodies…
5. The distance between dogs and owners When we teach the dog to sit in front of or next to the person who teaches it, they should not be more than one meter apart. If he’s more than a meter away, he’ll draw attention to everything but the controls.
6. Various places. Once your dog learns to sit on command, you must accustom him to sitting indoors and outdoors or in the middle of town. 6.1 Different substrates for soil The dog sits on different bases on the cement floor, grass, sand, earth, bench, surfboard, table, benches…
7. We provide controls one by one in different sequences: sit, lie, sound, jump, space b. leg, sound, wait, rest, c sound. Space, sit, jump, sit, wait. 7.1 Train the dog in different situations A walk through the city, before an ATM without a leash, in an elevator …
8. Training the dog at different times of the day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night.
9. We practice different positions and different controls in a series from sitting to lying, lying to jumping…
10. We exercise the dog so that we change our position between the controls, we are on a chair, lying on the floor, standing on a ladder, hanging from the tree, standing on sliders or scales.
11. Train the dog in a quiet voice, whispering, loud singing..
12. Do not exercise with the animal when you are not in a good mood.
13. Train the dog several times a day for a few minutes and preferably daily. When the dog gets used to the training, don’t make it longer than 20 minutes.
14. Every session with a dog should be as enjoyable for the dog as it is for the owner. Among the controls always short plays with dogs.
15. We praise the dog when it is obedient and ignore it when it does not. Do not feed the dog during training with treats, as it will constantly make her treats. The dog is more obedient to love than food.
16. We don’t punish the dog, we don’t hit it, we don’t shout at it. We work with him friendly.
17. Do not taunt the dog during training. This offends and insults him.
18. During training, we do not stroke the head, which means humiliation for a working and obedient dog.
19. Patience. Sometimes the dog does not understand what we want from him. This might piss us off. Then, the training shuts down and within minutes, we’re trying to say what we want otherwise.
20. The trainer needs to know and imagine what he wants from his dog. If the trainer does not make it clear what he wants, the dog will not know what is expected of him.
21. The trainer uses a dog’s name in the sit controls Tarzan, Tarzan distance, …. The dog loves his name and loves to hear it, which is why he will act more obedient on command.
22. Sets the order: attention, command, offer, praise.
