Fierce and scary dogs can be somewhat disliked, so how do owners train their pet dogs to become gentle and charming? If you want your dog to become gentle and lovable, the Southern Television Station editor has five simple tricks! Let's learn these five amazing methods together!
(1) Make friends: As the owner, you must first befriend the dog. Otherwise, you won't gain its respect and trust, nor will you become its true owner. To make the dog accept education, the guidance person's love for the dog and their own qualities are very important issues. To teach the dog to do things, one needs to carefully observe and analyze its mental state, proceed step by step, work tirelessly, and patiently and repeatedly teach it. Therefore, the guide must be patient, have strong self-control, and must have more love for the dog in order to better educate it.
(2) Obedience: The pet network editor points out that when educating a dog, it is not just about adopting a simple reward-based approach, i.e., making it perform an action and then giving material rewards after completion. Instead, use human willpower to let it earn rewards. The true reward is the owner's love; for the dog, there is nothing more pleasing than the owner's love. Food and toys cannot replace love. If through education the dog can reach the level of obeying commands, it will also understand the intentions of the person. Therefore, dogs that can basically obey humans can even understand and complete more difficult actions, while also enhancing their obedience.
(3) Cultivate "labor" desire: Cultivate the instinctive "labor" desire of the dog, such as its liking for biting shoes during play. Its act of biting shoes indicates a willingness to actively engage in labor with you. To enhance this desire, you can give it something to bite and carry, and play with it together. Additionally, for the dog's spontaneous behavior, you should understand what it is doing, determine the matter, and then decide whether to praise or scold it. Otherwise, the dog may feel it is unfair, which could disrupt the hard-earned "obedience" heart and also affect its future "labor" desire.
(4) No over-pampering: For a dog to live in a family, it must be taught to follow "house rules," but all of this requires strict education. Therefore, during the educational process, the dog should not be overly pampered, otherwise it won't learn patience, and in the future, it will cause many troubles for the family. However, at home, you can conduct strict education in the way you prefer.
(5) Talent differences: In education, attention should be paid to the fact that different breeds of dogs, different personalities, and varying levels of intelligence mean that not all dogs can achieve the level of "acrobats" through education. Therefore, dogs should not be "too demanding." That is, it's not just about making your beloved pet obey human will, but also accepting the results it achieves through effort. This way, the relationship will become more harmonious.
