A well-bred and obedient dog is a joy for the owner. Accurate execution of commands is the result of long training and training. Pet obedience is taught from an early puppy age. The article will tell you how to teach your dog the command "Come!" and more.

Common essential commands

The General Training Course (OKD) for dogs includes teaching the pet all the necessary skills. Teaching an animal obedience begins when the puppy has learned to walk and eat independently. How to teach your dog the command "Come!" and much more, you can learn from this article.

Puppies, like all children, are very mobile and curious. They love to play and receive sudden rewards and treats. This is what experienced cynologists and trainers use.

Training should not tire and alert the puppy. Training is carried out in the form of a fun game for the pet, which is called nothing more than dog training. Its methods are different, and the result is a well-bred animal that does notwill cause problems to the owner either on a walk or at home.

If a puppy owner wants to train his pet on his own, he must be patient and have some cookies. When the time comes to train the animal, the treat should always be with you in a pocket or in a special purse. The treat should not be in the form of everyday food, because in this case the puppy will not perceive it as a reward and will lose interest in training. As a reward for obedience, they use a cracker, a cookie, a piece of sausage, in general, everything that a dog loves, but rarely gets.

Starting skills

The first lesson learned in a puppy's life should be the "Come!" command. On a walk, when the puppy starts playing and runs away from the owner, you need to attract his attention, sit down and shout in a clear, positive voice: “Come to me!” At the same time, the phrase should sound commanding, but at the same time benevolent tone. The puppy, most likely, will be surprised to see the owner from an unusual angle, and will run up to see what he is doing there. And the owner, squatting, will hold out a delicacy. When the puppy runs up, be sure to pet him and praise him.

To train an animal, you can take it to specialized dog training courses. But it's more fun to do it yourself.

The next time the puppy runs away again, you can repeat all the previous steps. And also do not forget to treat and praise the dog.

If your puppy has played so much that he does not want to execute the command and go to the owner,you can run. But not for a pet, but from him. Seeing the owner running away, the puppy will naturally run after him.

There is a way to teach a dog the command "Come!" also with a gesture, for example, patting one's leg with the palm of one's hand. In the future, a trained pet will understand its owner by gestures, and sometimes by looks.

Try not to tire the animal with constant commands and orders. The game of training should be invisible to the puppy. Ten repeated times is enough for one day of teaching commands.

How to teach a dog the command "Come!" in room? Training in the building does not require any special skills, it is carried out according to the same principle as on a walk. Only rewards for following orders can change. For example, a dog will hear a command and, running to the owner, will see his favorite toy, which he will receive as a reward. Then the pet will understand that training is accompanied only by positive emotions and in the future will begin to follow the command without a special tasty reward.

This is important: until the dog has finally mastered one skill, it is undesirable to switch to teaching another command, because the puppy can start to get confused in orders and follow completely different orders.

Command Near

The skill is learned when the puppy walks with the owner on a leash. As a rule, young pets are full of strength and energy and pull the leash strongly, often dragging the owner along the ground. But trained dogs don't do that. Because they were trained in timeteam.

You need to take a treat in your left fist, and a leash in your right hand so that it hangs behind the person and pet without interfering with their path. Standing facing forward, with your left hand let the dog see and smell the treat, but do not allow it to eat it. Practically teasing the puppy with a tasty treat, they say: “Next!” This goes on for several steps. The dog, meanwhile, pacing at the left foot, tries to get a treat from the owner's fist, and so, buried in the owner's hand, follows. During the movement, you need to say imperatively several times: “Next!” After a few steps, give the dog the reward it deserves and don't forget to praise it. Repeat the skill daily.

Unusual team

Order "Show your teeth!" will seem strange. But he is included in the list of necessary requirements for OKD for dogs.

The fact is that the dog's obedience must be unquestioning. Even in the process of eating, the animal must be trained on the owner's order to give up his bowl. Team "Show your teeth!" needed for dogs that participate in exhibitions and competitions. A strong dentition and a good bite are part of the required conformation to be judged.

To master the command, you need to squat or stand sideways to the animal. Take the pet's face in your hands. Holding the dog's mouth with your palms so that it does not open it, you need to push the animal's lips in front with your thumbs, fully opening the bite. Of course, it is necessary to order: “Show your teeth!” After performing the manipulation, treat the puppy. This command always implies that a personhe opens his lips to the dog with his own hands, since the pet, due to its physiology, will not be able to bare its teeth in the right way.

Team Fu

This order is one of the most important. It is not specifically taught and is not rewarded with treats for doing it. It sounds if your animal is doing something inappropriate. Team Fu! must be spoken in a very stern voice. In general, all commands for training dogs in the learning process must be spoken loudly, clearly and in an imperative manner. You can reinforce the word "Fu!" with a slap of a folded newspaper (if the pet is very naughty or gnaws on wires or furniture). Why newspaper? Because it makes a lot of noise and such an action will not bring any harm to the dog, except for a little fright.

Sit

When to teach the dog commands "Come!" and "Near!" already succeeded, you can start learning the skill "Sit!". To do this, the puppy is called to him (it does not matter, in the house or on a walk).

They take a treat in their hand and lift it up over the dog's nose. The pet, looking at the hand, can besiege back. In this case, the hand with the treat is led along the back of the animal so that it is uncomfortable for him to look at the hand. The dog will sit. At the moment when the trained pet began to perform the desired movement, it is necessary to say the command "Sit!". When the dog has completed the required action, it receives a treat. Repeat the acquired skill several times a day.

Teaching the command "Down!"

It is more convenient to first tie the dog with a leash to somethingmotionless behind her. Then from the position "Sit!" they take a treat, carry it down and forward from the pet’s nose, and leave a hand with a treat below, not far from the dog. Thus, the animal must lie down for its own convenience. Leash binding will not allow you to get up and go for a treat, and the dog will simply lie down. At the time when the animal does this, you need to say: “Lie down!”

Fetch Training

Team "Aport!" is studied in order for the dog to be able to fetch an abandoned or hidden thing. A ball is thrown away from the pet. The dog runs after the object, the owner orders: "Aport!" When the animal grabs the ball, the owner says the command: “Come to me!” When the dog ran to the owner, you need to command: "Give!" and show a treat in the palm of your hand so that the dog gives the item.

Training methods are different. You can raise an animal yourself. It is informative and interesting to go to dog training courses with your pet. As a result, the owner receives an obedient, well-mannered, adequate pet, who pleases others with his behavior.
