Chinese Garden Dog Training Methods:
To understand and recognize the Chinese Garden Dog.
The Chinese Garden Dog is also called a native dog. It is a gentle and affectionate dog breed. Although it also has the name of a stupid dog, compared to its IQ, the Chinese Garden Dog is not stupid at all. It is quite clever.
Because of the thousands of years of living together with humans on the land of China, and the training and breeding of our ancestors from generation to generation, Chinese garden dogs are very easy to get along with people. This is determined by genes for thousands of years. , so the foundation for training is very good.
Be familiar, close and trustful.
Get close to and trust your Chinese Garden Dog. The prerequisite for any pet training is that the person and the pet are familiar with each other, close to each other, and trust each other. Without these, there is no basis for ready training.
So it is best to bring him back when he is very young, get to know him more every day, feed him in person, and get closer to him within a period of time after arriving home, so that he can get to know you, get close to you, and trust you. And you have to go through the same process. Only when you and your local dog trust each other, training will be a matter of course.
Choose the most appropriate training period.
Generally speaking, the best time to train basic commands and movements is when dogs are 1-3 months old. Dogs that are older can also be trained, but it will be slightly more difficult. Dogs between 1 and 3 months old are just beginning to be exposed to new things and are more curious. They are more likely to accept new things at this time. Therefore, it is better to start training in 1-3 months, and the training effect will be best at this time.
Rewards
Giving more snack rewards and verbal praise is a must, but if there are no snacks on hand, be sure to pay attention to your mouth. Every time the dog does an action correctly or understands a command, reward it with a snack. After repeated training many times, a mindset will be formed in the dog's head. This is a step that must be taken in training any pet.
In fact, native dogs are quite smart. They are generally trained after a few times. Of course, for long-term memory, it is recommended to consolidate and practice the previously learned actions and commands for a period of time after training.
If you really want your dog to practice a certain action, but find that you don’t have any snacks with you, you must hold back during the training and wait until you find the snacks. If you didn’t pay attention and said it out, and the dog did it right, encourage the dog more. When you go back, find the snacks immediately and let the dog do it again, and then give a double reward.
Only by paying equal attention to kindness and power can we train well.
In addition to rewarding and encouraging the dog after he does something right, if the dog does something wrong or loses his temper, there should be someone to do it at this time.The majesty of the master, criticism, reprimands, or a gentle spanking are all ok.
As for what kind of method to adopt, it depends on the degree of the dog’s mistakes. Of course, hitting is not really hitting. Such physical harm will definitely have side effects on training. Punishment-style, usually just tap the nose lightly.
Persistence, persistence, persistence.
Training a dog is a sustained period of time. The length of time depends on many factors and is unpredictable. During this time, you must persist in training and training methods, and try to eliminate other external interference (mainly interference from family and friends).
Make an agreement with your family and frequent friends that they should strictly abide by the training method even when you are not training. If you stick to it during this period, you will have an obedient dog living with you in the future.
