Dog breeders are mistaken when they believe that their pets only need to run after a stick or a ball during a walk.
All of this is useful, but training and teaching various tricks is even more important for a dog. Such activities bring pleasure to the pet and develop it.
The head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, explained which trick is worth teaching a dog and why.
The pet carries out the learned commands without associations with strict discipline. During joint work with the dog, the bond is strengthened, the relationship improves. The dog receives positive emotions from the owner and develops physically and mentally, - Radio 1 quotes the expert as saying.
How to train
It is useful for a dog to learn to walk on its hind legs.
You can also practice the "bunny" exercise, when the dog folds its front paws and "becomes shy."
Teaching these tricks strengthens the relationship between dog and owner.
But mainly training will develop the dog intellectually and physically.
The specialist recommends starting to teach tricks only after the pet has mastered basic skills, i.e. has learned to respond to its name, prohibitive commands, commands such as “sit”, “heel”, and others.
