The master is very loyal, gentle by nature, and has high obedience. How can one not be moved by him? Other dog fans are attracted by its appearance. The Border Collie has a very beautiful appearance, with furry hair, and a noble and elegant temperament. It is not surprising that it has many fans! To be honest, I also like to raise this kind of dog, it is smart and good-looking, so why not! However, although its IQ is very high, certain training is still indispensable in order to achieve excellent results. So, how to train a Border Collie?
1How to train a Border Collie
To ask how to train a Border Collie, you must first understand the content of its training! No matter what kind of dog it is, the training content must roughly include daily life, diet and some basic daily training. The Border Collie is a very smart dog. With a little guidance from parents, the dog can understand correctly. Therefore, as long as parents master some basic training skills, they can make the Border Collie display its endless talents!
2Border Collie training methods
1. Name training No matter what breed of dog, training should start from an early age. For a Border Collie that has just entered a new home, the way to quickly adapt to the new environment is to give it a name. How can we get it used to the name it has for a lifetime? You can do this. When the sheepdog is playing or eating, parents can call its name in a bright tone to attract its attention. Be careful to call more times, otherwise it may not hear it. And it will automatically ignore you. As time goes by, it will gradually become familiar with this tone. If you call it by this name in the future, it will know that the owner is calling it!
2. Defecation training Defecation training must be the primary concern of most parents. Indeed, if a Border Collie does not have good defecation habits, no matter how smart and good-looking it is, it will be just like other ordinary dog breeds, with endless troubles! If you observe carefully, you will find that when the dog runs in circles, smells the smell of the floor, or becomes restless, it is sending a message to the parents: it needs to go to the toilet! ! At this time, parents should immediately take it to the specified place. After pulling it, you can praise it. After a few times, it will remember the place where it pooped. Before the training is completed, even if the dog goes to the wrong place, parents should not beat or scold it casually, or even use violence against it. This will only make the sheepdog more afraid. And aversion training, it will be more difficult to tame later!
3.No barking The Border Collie puppy you just bought will be a little emotional., it always takes two or three days to return to normal and begin to adapt. During this period, the Border Collie often makes a low barking sound at night. At this time, parents can get some safety toys or a ticking alarm clock. Place it in front of it, or place it where it can see its owner to distract it!
4. Feeding training If bowel training is the first important thing, then feeding training is the second most important thing. Feeding training pays special attention to the communication and tacit understanding between the Border Collie and its owner. First, accompany the dog for a few days to establish the status of the feeder. You can use food to guide it to think that you are the owner. Parents should feed Border Collies in a fixed place, which is conducive to forming a good eating habit. It should be noted that some border collies like to do mischief and drag the rice in the bowl to the ground to eat. Therefore, parents should first spread a layer of newspapers on the ground, and dogs should keep a certain distance between each other when eating. All utensils must be used separately!
We often see this scene. When you are eating or eating snacks, the Border Collie will look at you with a demanding look or make a shy voice. At this time, parents must not be soft-hearted and must resolutely reject its pleas. , otherwise it is easy for dogs to develop the bad habit of lingering after eating. Some dogs are even more exaggerated, secretly digging through the garbage when their parents are not at home!
5. Frisbee training Frisbee activity is a great recreational activity for Border Collies! Frisbee training, in other words, is a game of training your dog to pick up objects. Its main methods include induction, coercion and non-punishment. (1) Induction method The induction method mainly relies on the intelligent nature of Border Collies. Border Collies like to hold food in their mouths, which is worth encouraging. After preliminary training and rewards, they can initially develop the ability to pick up food!
(2) Forced law First of all, the Border Collie should learn to obey. Although the little guy is smarter, it does not mean that it has higher obedience. Parents can hold a piece of the dog's favorite thing, let the shepherd dog sit next to you, gently open its mouth, then shout the command, put the thing into the dog's mouth, give the command, and the dog If the dog can catch something quickly, you can give it a certain reward. As time goes by, when it hears the command, it will be able to hold things in its mouth at the same time!
3 Things to note when raising Border Collies
1. Each training time should not exceed five minutes, and adhere to the principle of training more in less time!
2. Gradually replace food rewards with verbal rewards, and only give it a certain food reward during training!
3. Parents need to put in a certain amount of patience and effort when training Border Collies.Do not be too impatient, and when training, pay attention to effective interaction with the Border Collie. This smart dog likes to enjoy the training process!
