• does not drop and does not give it up to the command "Give!".

Note: In order for your pet to cope with the study of the “Aport!” team, he must know what “Sit!”, “To me!”, “Next!” means.

The dog has a program in its genes: it must find and bring "prey" to its owner.. Previously, the main purpose of the dogs was hunting: the owner shot the game, and the dog brought it. During the crossing, the dog breeders tried to select only those representatives of a particular breed who brought the prey at the instinctive level.

The purpose of the team "Aport!" Is to hone these instincts. Thanks to her, the dog will be better oriented in space, he will train his sense of smell, hearing and vision, he will understand better what his master wants. The dog and the person build the relationship between action, gestures and voice, the pet trains the shutter speed.

The team "Aport!" Allows you to develop emotional, physical and cognitive abilities. In addition, the dog has the opportunity to throw out excess energy.

Each beginning trainer, before starting training a dog, must understand for himself that a pet should be trained in stages. Each stage involves an explanation, bringing the action to automatism, daily repetition in order to consolidate the knowledge gained.

Before the beginning of the training, the following conditions should be studied, which will contribute to the earliest achievement of the result.

• To learn a new team from scratch, special conditions are required. There should not be any distractions affecting innate instincts in the area where training is held, and other dogs should not be nearby.
• A four-legged friend should be motivated: after each successfully executed team, you need to praise him, stroke him and give him a little delicacy. This technique will allow you to form an emotional connection between the trainer and the dog.The dog will be interested to accurately execute all the commands to get some goodies.
• During the training of a pet, a person constantly interacts with him. The owner must clearly understand the stages and the result of the training to explain them to the dog.
• Before training clarify the formation of skills. The owner should know what exactly should be encouraged by the treat, and the pet - to understand what actions are required of him.

At this stage, experienced dog breeders recommend punishing the dog for incorrect execution of a team. Pulling with a leash, threatening intonation is allowed. As soon as the dog corrects the mistake, it is necessary to praise it, give a little cookie.

• Pre-teach your four-legged friend to perform the commands: “Sit!”, “Come to me!”, “Give!”.
• The pet must know the canceling commands (for example, “Walk!”). Without them, the dog must not stop the action being performed.

In the process of teaching dogs to new teams should comply with the regime. Is always alternate classes and rest. The second, in turn, should not be passive, otherwise the dog will lose mental readiness for the next training.

If all listed points are observed, should proceed to the next stage, which implies the presence of several more sub-steps.

1. If at the previous stage of training the dog could bring the object slowly, then at this step you should work at speed. Pet must run for the subject and also run to bring it. Do not let him pay attention to distractions.
2. Inexperienced owners often try not to scold a four-legged friend, especially if he is still a puppy. However, knowledgeable trainers argue that the number of punishments should prevail over the number of rewards, so that the pet has a clear desire to avoid them. But do not overdo it - it is important to maintain a positive emotional background.
3. Do not skip training days.

In the first days of learning a new team, you should resort to using a rope or leash. So you can control the pet.

It is important to bring the skill to automatism. After the dog has learned a new team, you should give it interspersed with others, try to confuse the pet as much as possible. And only with properly executed combination should praise and encourage it.

To study the new team will suit any object that can easily take the dog with his teeth. It should not be heavy. An excellent option would be a tennis ball, a flying disc, a plastic bottle (glass items are prohibited!). The bottle can be filled with sand for weight. The most common option is a regular stick.

During training fleecy objects should be avoided. Ideally, it should be smooth. Aportizing item needs in regular disinfection. He should serve a long time and not cause discomfort to the dog.

After your pet has learned the team, you can start training with several items. They are needed so that the dog can find a certain object from several similar ones. He should attract a dog. A four-legged friend should hold him tightly in his teeth and not let go until he hears: "Give!". If the dog does not show much enthusiasm and periodically drops the subject, then you should tease it by tugging at the stick. This technique will force the dog to squeeze the jaws.

As soon as the dog learned the command, it is necessary to change the subject and rework “Aport!” And “Give!”. In most cases, the dog just starts playing with a new object.

At the very beginning, the stick is thrown just a couple of meters from the bottom up.It is not recommended to throw at long distances until the dog establishes a logical connection with the object.

If at first the pet will walk around the stick, The trainer should lead him on a leash and point it out.

To train a fourth-party friend is based on his breed, temperament, performance and instincts. If a dog cannot master a new team for a long time, it is impossible to show aggression and nervousness. If you took up the training, then you should be patient.

Duration of classes must be at least 60 minutes. The time depends on the size of the dog and its muscle mass. The first half hour pet will be the most active because of the thirst for snacks. Then he simply eats up, muscles get tired, begins to be distracted by extraneous factors. Therefore, in the initial stages of training it is not recommended to “squeeze out” all forces from the dog. She must understand that The command should be executed regardless of whether it wants to or not.

It is necessary to observe the line between physical control and physical punishment. To influence the dog should be without aggression. Behavior can be controlled by periodically pulling the leash or pushing it with your hands. Beat a pet is prohibited. He should respect his master, and not be afraid of him.

In the modern world, many dog ​​experts offer services in dog training, training in its commands. This is especially useful if the owners do not have enough time for classes.

However, all breeders recommend training the dog yourself, this solution has the following advantages:

• creates an emotional connection with the four-legged friend;
• the dog begins to perceive the owner as the leader of the pack;
• the owner identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the dog.

Each team has the main elements. In this case, this is the ability to hold the object in the mouth until the command "Give!". Independent training disciplines not only the dog, but also the owner. A person learns perseverance and patience.
