How to improve the concentration of Scottish Sheepdogs:
1. Training Scottish Sheepdogs to sit still
This training is specially customized for the patience of the Scottish Shepherd. In order to get new instructions, the Scottish Shepherd will pay more attention to what the owner is going to say next. First give the Scottish Shepherd a "sit" command, and then ask the Scottish Shepherd to stay still. If the Scottish Shepherd wants to leave, stop them. The initial sitting time can be shorter, and after the Scottish Shepherd has completed our requirements well, the Scottish Shepherd can be given certain rewards. In the future, you can slowly extend the duration of meditation.
2. Use objects to attract the attention of Scottish Shepherds
Take an object that the Scottish Shepherd is interested in and shake it in front of the Scottish Shepherd's eyes, and ask the Scottish Shepherd to stay still. If the Scottish Shepherd wants to come over and snatch the toy, it must be stopped in time. And a certain amount of coercion was used to keep the Scottish Shepherd still. If the Scottish Sheepdog can hold on, you can give the Scottish Sheepdog toys to play with.
3. Food can also be used directly as a training tool to improve the attention of Scottish Shepherds
For example, we often see some owners putting food such as Scottish shepherd dog food or jerky on the bridge of their noses and letting them hold it. They can only eat it after receiving orders. It’s also a great way to train your Scottish Shepherd’s attention.
IV. Accompanying training
Follow-up training can also make the Scottish Shepherd focus. Hold the food or toys that the Scottish Shepherd is interested in in your hand, and let the Scottish Shepherd sit down first. Then use the object to attract the Scottish Shepherd and let the Scottish Shepherd follow you. After walking a certain distance, let the Scottish Shepherd stop. If it does not stop, use the leash to stop the Scottish Shepherd. Then give a certain reward, and then train a few more times. You can also let the Scottish Shepherd change the direction of the station, while allowing it to keep up with us and improve their concentration.
After the Scottish Sheepdog has good attention, it will be of great benefit to our future training. At the same time, it can also control the actions of the Scottish Shepherd. For example, if the Scottish Shepherd is too anxious, you can also let them sit still for a while to relieve their emotions.
