LITTLE DOGS Dressage

Dressing is a French word that means training animals to respond in some way to the conditional stimuli. Basic training consists in das the dog learns from the outset that the given command executes a specific action, and to repeat that action engages. Longer repetition creates habit and mechanical dog to a given command performs a specific action.

People who have trained dogs have enormous patience to be a full understanding and know that their training should be given plenty of time, because the dog can not be understood at your command. Opinions on when it is best to start obedience training are different. It is known to all that the best dressing dog while he was still a puppy - the puppy, no matter how playful and happy with it 4 months, he has to listen to some of the basics, because the later is much more difficult to put things right if he does not let me listen to or slightly . But the bigger dogs can learn the commands, only to go a little harder and longer. Just be persistent and in the end your dog will be obedient, educated and trained.

LEARNING BASIC COMMANDS

PRIMARY

Dog learn the command so that when you take a cookie and command him to meet those cookie (no matter if he accidentally did what you asked). It is important at all times to repeat the command. Do not teach a dog npr.jedan day a little sit down, lie a little, give a little paw, but when he learns one command then you start to learn another. Of course the dog can not learn all day - and he has his vacation time ...

SIT

Kneel and put his hand in the cookie so that your dog can not come over to him. Put a handful of cookies where there would be the position of the head of a dog when he sits. Few hold in this position, and if not then it sits a bit lower your arm or lift to place a cookie to the dog looking down and wait for a seat.

DOWN

This command is much easier to teach a dog knows the command sit. If your dog knows the command sit, then tell him to sit down. Place the cookie in your hand and let your dog follows your hand. Lower the arm so that when the dog follows then that means lie-hand go down and facing you. When teaching this command, then it would be best to sit. And if your dog knows the command sit the same way you can try.

GIVE PAW

This command is much easier to teach a dog knows the command sit. If your dog knows the command sit, then tell him to sit down. Place the cookie in your hand and let your dog follows your hand. Lower the arm so that when the dog follows then that means lie-hand go down and facing you. When teaching this command, then it would be best to sit. And if your dog knows the command sit the same way you can try.

DO NOT EAT

Dog eat not learn the command by placing a cookie on the other hand in the dog and in a higher pitch when talking to close food: Do not eat! When you eat it in a way that the show has done wrong, and if you do not eat, then give him a cookie in his hands and anointed him in the head. If you're wondering what does this statement is that when you eat something the dog does not jump on you.

WAIT - STOP - STAY

Command to wait for a dog to learn to talk to him all the time waiting! and every movement is increasingly udaljavajte from him.

QUIET

Dog learn to command quiet so that when something bad did I yell QUIET!

COME

The habit of approaching the owner of the puppy command COME! It can develop from day one. While the dog has learned these commands babbling and good food will always have a positive effect on him. During learning the dog should not be penalized for failure to task, since it would lead to the non-appearance or occasional arriving. In your hand and say COME cookie, (name) comes, He will surely come.

WALK

Dog to go for a walk so you learn every day a little walk around the yard or around the home (or at home), just to learn. You can hold something in your hand so that the dog follows you, but it's only the beginning. It is important that the dog is on a leash when you know to go with you, you can not swerve and pull you where he wants ...

NECKLACE AND RUNNING on a leash

When the dog responds to the command name and COME! can start getting used to the collar, and most dogs can easily get used to it. The very act usually practiced during walking when the dog is busy environment and not paying attention to the placement and removal of necklaces. In the beginning it is better to use a longer leash (8 to 10 meters) to the dog and felt freer in his slowly getting used to shorten the radius of movement to the feet of the owner. Each time when coming out of the yard or indoors dog needs to put a leash to get used to it. These dogs learn quickly, and when they see you wearing leash dog owner is happy because he knows that the next tour. Dogs adopted different commands and learning, some faster, some slower (females slightly faster). This is explained by Pavlov's theory of higher nervous activity types in dogs. Based on these differences, all dogs classified into four basic types: an exciting or edgy, balanced, lively, balanced, calm, bad or apathetic. Regardless of the type of dog, it is of utmost importance when working with a dog establish a proper harmonious relationship. The relationship must be based on complete trust a dog to its owner and induce a desire for contact and communication with him.

ATTENTION ON REQUEST

The program begins by eliminating the requirement of giving attention to the dog. When a dog comes up to you and you gently prodding hands, saying, "It helps me! cuddle me! "ignorišitete it. Do not tell him, "No", do not odgurivati. Simply pretend you do not notice it. This is what works before giving results so do not be surprised if he tries harder to get your attention. When you realize that it is no longer worth it, will cease. In a pack, dogs in senior positions may require the attention of those at the lower, not the other way around. When you give attention to his dog at his request, telling him that he has a higher status in the pack than you (ie Alpha status).
