What command to teach a dog - "no" or "no": is there a difference

12.04.2024 21:22

Among the mandatory commands that every dog must know and perform “unquestioningly,” there are prohibitive commands.

Inexperienced dog owners do not understand that their actions, which are unclear to the dog's understanding, lead the pet into a stupor. We will talk about the commands "no" and "no", which are used in different cases.

Experts have explained when to use these similar, but very different commands.

"Ugh"

The pet must carry out this command immediately. The owner must understand the situation and why this particular signal needs to be given.

A sharp, abrupt "no" means that the dog is not allowed to do what it is about to do.

Not only is it impossible, but she can completely forget about whatever came into her head (for example, picking up and eating something during a walk).

That is, “fu” is a categorical “no,” which leaves no options for reflection except to obey.

"It is forbidden"

This is a relatively mild form of prohibition. For example, it can be used when the owner pours food into a bowl, and the impatient pet tries to grab the food on the go.

Upon hearing this command, the dog will understand that this is a temporary prohibition and that it will definitely be followed by the command “you can”.

Both commands can be used during training. Then "you can" is given together with the reward.
