Get rid of 3 common bad habits of dogs!

defecate

Many shit shoveling officers should have such experience. After a busy day at work, the first thing they do when they get home is not to sit on the comfortable sofa, enjoy a cup of hot tea or eat the dinner they just bought. , but busy cleaning up stinking dog poop.

So how do we correct our dog’s urination?

1. If your dog just arrived home, you should prepare toilet training agent, dog toilet, toilet training pad or dog urine pad first. Put the dog toilet on the place where you want the dog to go to the toilet, put a urine pad on it, and spray an appropriate amount of toilet training agent. Puppies generally defecate easily after waking up, playing and after meals;

2. When you find that it suddenly puts its nose on the ground and sniffs or turns around nervously, this is a precursor to the dog defecation. At this time, you should guide the dog to the defecation place softly, and use words to encourage it to defecate. If there is an intention to defecate, please do not disturb physically, but give verbal rewards at the first time.

3. When it finishes excretion on the urine pad, please continue to give soft encouragement. At this time, you can stroke its head and back with your hands. The purpose is to make the dog like this behavior pattern, generate memory and be willing to repeat the behavior.

4. Try to repeat the above training procedures at a fixed time every day, and then the dog will take the initiative to go to the toilet to defecate.

5. In the initial training, the dog may defecate outside the dog toilet, which is normal. Beating and scolding will make it think that the defecation itself is wrong, not the wrong position, and may even make it afraid to stand in front of you. Defecate on the face and choose to secretly poop in a hidden place you can’t see. Don’t forget to reward your dog every time he successfully uses the toilet.

barking for a long time

Dogs bark for different reasons. Some reasons are to get attention, to beg for love, or food, and to want someone to play with.

In addition, dogs are territorial, and they will make warning barks around strange sounds, strangers, and other dogs. If you live in a collective apartment or a dense residential area, it will bring a lot of trouble to your neighbors. So we must get rid of its bad habit of barking.

 

Possible causes and countermeasures for dog barking constantly:

1. Territorial defense: Some dogs are very territorial. As long as someone passes through the door, they will bark loudly before these people disappear. As a result, when a postman, delivery person, or family guest arrives, they bark threateningly, disturbing family members and those in the vicinity.

Countermeasure: Family members need to come out and have a look to confirm what the “suspicious person” is to the dog. If you think it doesn’t matter, you must let it understand and tell it not to worry. If the dog continues to bark, you must reprimand it severely, and if it stops, don’t forget to praise it “very good” and pet it.

2. Fear of boredom to attract attention: Dogs are not naturally like lonely animals, they like family company. Especially pet dogs, most of them consider themselves a part of the family. If everyone is busy and can’t pay attention to it, they often have continuous barking behavior to attract the attention of the family.

Countermeasures: To deal with a dog with this personality, try to keep it in your room for a few minutes at first, and then gradually lengthen, if it is barking, don’t go back to the room to look at it, and don’t enter the room to pet it until it is quiet for a while It, reward it.

3. Frustration caused by loneliness and lack of attention from people: Dogs often stay at home alone, tethered to a fixed point or locked in a cage. In the case of lack of attention, there will be frustration, so there will be frequent barking behaviors.

Countermeasures: Dogs, like children, have very complex psychology and need to be cared for and taught closely. Don’t leave your dog alone at home for too long. If it is a last resort, see if you can find someone to help you at any time during that time. Keep an eye out, and if he’s barking badly, take him for a walk or run in the yard.

4. Feelings of sickness or discomfort: When sick or distressed, the dog will bark because of anxiety and want to express it.

Countermeasures: Observe the dog’s symptoms and seek professional help in the hospital.

 

unwilling to accompany

On the trails of the community, one often sees dogs dragging people around on their own accord, and “masters” who are sweating profusely and bewildered.

Don’t think that walking the dog like this is very beautiful, let alone think that it is the performance of the dog’s liveliness and health. In fact, walking the dog like this is not only the owner’s hard work, but also may fall and get injured. The little guy who is so excited that he rushes to the right will inevitably scare the neighbors. ; More importantly, such “self-assertion” only shows that your dog is not “educated” enough!

So how do we carry out dog walk training?

1. After wearing the leash, let the dog sit on the left side of the owner.

In this way, the owner can loosely grasp the leash with the left hand, and hold the dog’s favorite snack with the right hand, and let it sit down obediently.

2. When setting out, you might as well deliberately develop a habit in the first few times, first step out your left leg, pull the leash at the same time, and issue a “keep up” command to the dog. If the dog is too impatient or excited and suddenly rushes forward, you should grab the collar with your left hand in time and gently pull the dog back to the correct position.

3. When the dog leans on the right position next to the owner, it should be rewarded, comforted or treated with treats. Then command the dog to sit down, and when it is gradually able to obey the continuous password, gradually increase the distance to control the dog.

4. When the owner walks, if the puppy can follow the owner and obey the command to sit down, you can start training the dog to turn right! At this time, the owner can guide the dog to turn right with his left hand, and issue “” follow” command.

5. The last step is to learn how to turn left. When turning left, the owner can speed up the pace appropriately, and at the same time hold the treat on the dog’s nose to let the dog slow down. When it slows down, it should issue a “steady” password in time.

6. The important thing is to give the dog appropriate rewards (stroking, talking, snacks) immediately when the dog does the right thing. Don’t be stingy with the reward at this time.
