Rules education puppies and adult dogs

Any dog ​​owner wants his pet to be obedient and always performing commands. To achieve this goal will have to make a lot of effort, especially if the animal got into the house already in adulthood.

In order to tame a dog, you must begin with the correction of their own behavior. The master-educator must become an authority for his own pet, in other words, to show who is the “boss” here. The ideal hierarchy in a family with a dog implies that one of the people becomes the leader of the pack. The alignment of forces is carried out by introducing several behavioral habits that affect the lives of all members of the home community.

If possible, the pet should be fed after all other family members have been fed. For a greater effect, the leader gets the first food, then his pets, and then the dog. An interesting exercise is the selection of a bowl of food. When the dog calmed down and began to eat, after some time she needed to pick it up, after which the owner pretended to eat it himself. Such an exercise once again reminds the dog of who is the leader in the pack - the one to whom food is given without any objection.

The leader first comes to any premises. Attempts by the dog to overtake or push away must stop immediately. It will be enough to say strictly and confidently: “No”, hold the leash and go in first. A cry in this case will not help much, as well as hysterical actions.

For example, if there is a dragging of the object, as a result, it should always be in the hands of a person. In the case when there is not enough physical strength for this, you will have to master the command “Give” with the dog. In general, it is man who should win in any competitive activity. In addition, the dog must immediately carry out the owner’s commands. It is also important that she got used to sleep in the place allotted to her, or at least immediately went there when trying to drive her off the couch.

An animal should not fight its leader. Jumping and trying to bite the dog does not play at all with the person, but rather trains before something serious. Such activity should be immediately stopped and replaced with other activities. For example, a dog can throw toys and teach them to return them back. As soon as the prey is brought to the owner, he must take it in hand.

You can not allow your pet and jump on people, both on members of your family and on strangers. Such behavior is suppressed by exposure to the animal by pulling the leash each time such a critical situation occurs. If the puppy does not calm down, it is necessary to force him to sit down, and if this does not work, then “bite”.

In general, the education of puppies and adults has its own characteristics.

Experts recommend starting rearing puppies from 2 months of age. Usually at this particular time the dog gets from the breeder to the owner, and his psyche is strong enough to form the desired behavior.

Of course, if the puppy was born at home, then the process of socialization can begin as early as a month. First of all, the pet should get used to all pets, as well as understand who its main owner is. Schooling to the toilet begins at 6 months of age of the animal.Mastering the main teams, in principle, can be started already from 3 months of age and successfully master them to a year.

During the educational process puppy what is forbidden to an adult is not allowed. If you allow him, for example, to lie on a bed, even at the age of three, the dog will not be driven away from their homes, and he will simply ignore the litter. The dog simply will not accept as a ban something that was previously resolved without problems. Immediately, the puppy should purchase its own toys so that it does not spoil the household utensils.

Re-educate an adult dog is in principle possible, but only if the behavior correction starts from the first days of the pet's stay in the house. The methods in this case are welcomed by more loyal ones - without aggression, physical violence and a nervous increase in voice. Teams should be given strictly but calmly.

With inappropriate behavior of the dog, the owner will have to do something that will deprive the disobedient pet of confidence. For example, it can be taken as a collar and croup and slightly raised above the ground. Next, the animal sinks to the ground and, again, is pressed down slightly to the ground. This sequence will first create a feeling of insecurity in the pet, and then show who's boss.

Another option approved by dog ​​handlers is imitation bite. To do this, you have to strain your fingers and hit them with the tips on the top of the neck, in the place where the skin is coarser. If this action had no effect, then, without lifting the hand, the dog must be piled up on his back. That is what his former leader, the mother, did, and therefore the current leader should use the same method.

Training to the toilet is a complex process, largely based on the alignment of diet. Feeding the dog should be carried out every day at the same time to develop a habit. The size of portions is selected depending on the needs of the puppy to eliminate the possibility of overeating. Walking is also carried out according to the regime, and ideally along a single route. This action will reduce the stress for the animal, which will not be nervous during the immediate toilet procedure. Besides, walk can not be carried out in a hurry with a visit to unfamiliar places.

If the dog does his homework, then a voice can be raised to it as a punishment, but only if the pet has already turned six months. Puppies younger than this age are difficult to control for physiological reasons, so there is no point in shouting at them. On the contrary, raising the voice in such a situation can provoke the fear of a pet. Adult dogs should be walked at least twice a day, and older dogs - three times, and always at the same time. Small puppies would be good to take to the fresh air every time the characteristic nervousness begins.

If the team sounds on the street, the dog must understand that he must remain in a certain place, regardless of the actions of the owner. In the case when the animal got up to mischief, experts recommend driving him out of the couch and bed and creating the only opportunity for him to rest - to get settled on his bedding. It is forbidden to use physical force for this, but blocking furniture or closing doors will be just right.

A clever dog will also become obedient if it is forbidden to misbehave and violate the established rules properly. Shouting and swearing at a little puppy makes no sense, especially if he fouls in the absence of the owners - so you can create wrong associations with him. Punishment should be memorable, but adequate. For example, it may be a slap newspaper on the pope, accompanied by the word "You can not."

Another suitable solution is the clap of the palms, which goes in combination with the team. If the puppy is caught in a bad case, you can lift him by the scruff, again voicing the prohibiting command.

From time to time, when the dog does not obey, it is allowed to punish it, but only if you do not forget about the rewards for good behavior.

For example, hitting a dog with a hand leads to the loss of a trusting relationship between humans and animals. The palms of the owner should not be associated with something bad, rude and cruel. Cannot be used for punishments and dog ammunition, for example, leashes and collars. The dog will have a sense of fear associated with them, and it will no longer be able to calmly go for a walk, play or participate in dog training.

If, despite the correct training, the dog still remains naughty, it is possible that this is one of the most common mistakes made by the owners. For example, the problem may lie in the lack of sufficient rewards. If the pet performs the command, behaves obediently and does not play pranks, then you should not skimp on the praise, stroking and goodies.

It is extremely wrong to poke a puppy who went on business not there, in excrement. In general, while the pet is still small, it should not be scolded for problems with the toilet. It is better to quietly remove everything, and next time closely monitor the behavior of the dog and do not miss the right moment.

Surprisingly, sometimes the problem of disobedience to a pet becomes a lack of games. It is important to teach the dog to have fun with its toys, and not to touch the owner's property and have fun without spoiling things. It is also important to constantly communicate with the puppy, and not only with different people, but also with other animals. After some critical situations your pet should be reassured.

Experts recommend a light massage: first bend the fingers like the mouth of an animal and "bite" a little behind the back. The procedure should be carried out slowly and cover the entire surface of the back.
