Belgian Shepherd Training Tutorial:
First of all, choose a quiet and spacious training environment to prevent your dog from being disturbed by the outside world during training. At the same time, the dog's training should be from simple to complex. First, the dog should be familiar with the relevant instructions, and then the owner will teach the dog to complete the training actions. Repeat the training until the dog forms a conditioned reflex and can complete the training independently. .
When training Belgian Shepherd Dogs, owners can adopt food temptation and mechanical force training methods. Teach the dog step by step to complete specific actions, and at the same time use the temptation of delicious food, encouragement, praise and other methods to stimulate the dog's passion for participating in training, so that it can maintain an enthusiastic state during the training and complete the entire training.
During the training process, the trainer's attitude towards the Belgian Shepherd Dog should be consistent. Be clear about rewards and punishments, neither favoring or pampering the dog, but not overly pampering or tolerating it. Of course, the owner should also be tolerant of the unconscious wrong behavior of the Belgian Shepherd during training, and then promptly stop and correct the dog's bad behavior, so that it can develop good living habits and complete relevant training.
Last but not least, in the process of domestication, the owner should pay attention to cultivating the previous emotions with the dog, so that the dog can regard him as the real master and obey him loyally. Moreover, during training, the dog should be encouraged and affirmed in a timely manner to establish a feeling of mutual trust with each other.
