How to train Wire-Haired Fox Terrier? A dog’s intelligence is innate, but whether it can become a well-trained dog depends on its development. It can be said that every dog can become outstanding, but the difficulty and method of training will be different.
1. Temptation
Because when we train dogs, they may not complete relevant actions according to our wishes, so we must use some temptations appropriately. Through the combination of verbal commands and gestures, the dog can develop a conditioned reflex and enhance the training effect.
This method can make the dog's movements more exciting and natural, but when using it, you must take certain coercive measures if possible, and you must also seize the opportunity.
2. Appropriate coercion
Appropriate coercion is actually necessary when training dogs. Forcing means forcing the dog to complete the command we give. This is accomplished by issuing commands in an appropriately compelling, "threatening" tone. However, coercion must be applied promptly and appropriately, and at the same time, coercion must be combined with rewards. For dogs that can tolerate strong stimulation, the intensity can be increased appropriately, while for dogs with strong sensitivity and timidity, the intensity should be smaller.
3. Block
It refers to a method to stop the bad behavior of dogs. Give the "no" command by using a threatening tone, and use some punishment methods that can achieve the purpose of warning. For example, when a dog bites something casually, the owner should criticize it and say no. After repeated use to establish a conditioned reflex, the owner can stop the dog's bad behavior by simply using the "no" command.
IV. Rewards
This is a necessary means to accelerate the development and consolidation of dog training results. Reward methods can include food, petting, picking up objects, wandering and verbal praise, caressing, etc. And rewards should be given step by step. It is best not to use food rewards at the beginning. Moreover, food rewards should not be used too frequently, firstly to avoid weakening the effect, and secondly to prevent dogs from obeying commands for the purpose of food. When rewarding dogs, we must also grasp the timing, and our attitude when rewarding should be as gentle as possible.
