24.10.2023 15:10
There is a widespread belief among dog handlers that it is always possible to train a dog to follow commands, regardless of the age and breed of the animal.
We, in turn, will tell you about the three most useful commands and share tips that will help simplify the learning process.
"Ugh!" ("You can't!")
The ability to carry out a prohibiting command can sometimes save your pet's life, which means that you can't delay mastering it.
The training should be done in a quiet and calm place during a walk. Place a few pieces of food on the ground, and when the dog approaches them, pull the leash and say the command.
Then you can give a command, for example, “Sit!” to distract your pet.
"Sit!"
Smoothly move on to the next command. To teach your pet to perform the command "Sit!", call him and show him a fist with a treat clenched inside.
Let the dog sniff your hand, then place your fist behind the animal's head. To get to the treat, the dog will have to sit and lift its head - at this moment it is worth saying the cherished word.
"Place!"
To make your dog respond to the command “Place!”, show him his favorite treat, let him sniff it, and use the tasty morsel to lure your pet to his place – let it be, for example, a bed.
When the dog sits on the bed, give it a treat. Do this for several days, then use a new scheme of actions: point to the bed with your hand and say "Place!"
