A real cynologist is a specialist who understands dog psychology and knows how to act in any situation. A professional requires knowledge of many practical and theoretical bases that can help in difficult situations. But it is not always possible to turn to a specialized dog trainer, so Dmitry But, a specialist in dog training, decided to share with you the main rules of training.
Rule of the street. Dmitry Sergeevich But about where training is productive
You should not get a dog if you like to sit at home. Despite the fact that it is possible to properly train a pet in an apartment, it happens that the dog refuses to listen to the owner in nature. This is dog psychology: if the animal binds your power to a certain place, and not to you, it will be very difficult to cope with the dog's temperament.
But Dmitry Sergeevich focuses on the fact that it is best to train a puppy on the street. It is possible in the park, but the ideal option is a private plot without outsiders. Only you and the dog, and commands that will be delivered faster in a personal setting. Experts believe that motivation with goodies is the right choice, but the main thing is not to overdo it so that the dog does not do it just for the sake of pleasure.
The ideal training duration recommended by Dmitry But
Just like people, dogs should be given the right to rest when they are busy. In addition, a person requires no less physical and intellectual activity, so the first walk with training should not exceed 20 minutes of exertion. Gradually increase this time. As a result, you will be able to train the dog without too much fatigue for 2 hours continuously!
They always start with the most primitive commands, such as sit, lie or come to me. The base should be given as much attention as possible. You will repeat these commands for each new lesson. By the way, cynologists do not recommend exercising with a dog more than three times a week in order to keep the puppy a happy childhood.
According to Dmitry But, the most important thing in any training is stability. Your dog must do what you tell it to do. If he retreats at least once and does not get the dog to comply, he may decide that learning is optional.
Good trainers always have a strong spirit. Do not be afraid to be a little stricter than in everyday life: the pet will definitely not be offended, but it will listen better.
