How to train dogs to sit and lie down? Basic posture training of dogs.

Dog sitting training: the owner stands on the left side of the dog, gives the order of "sitting down", lifts the dog over the neck with his right hand, forces the dog to sit down with his left hand, and then rewards it. Dog lying down training: Hold the food in your right hand and give the password to lie down, pull the traction rope down, and give food rewards after being forced to lie down. Dog stance training takes advantage of the dog's fear of falling and is carried out in a small area and above the ground. A small table or a tall wooden board will do. First, hold the dog on the small table, let its hind legs close to the edge of the small table, and then let go. Because the dog is afraid of falling, his limbs are weak and he wants to lie down. At this time, we need one hand to hold its chest or chin, and the other hand to gently pull the dog's tail. Be careful not to pull only the tail hair to prevent pain. The hand holding the chest also pushed back, making the dog unable to sit down. When the dog feels that the hind foot will lose its support, and then it will step on the air when it retreats, it will naturally lean forward and stand, with its forelimbs stable and toes taut, showing a standard posture with its limbs straight and its head held high. As long as this method is repeated many times, the dog will learn. Even if we stand on the flat ground in the future, as long as we pull our tail back, the dog will reflexively pose a standard graceful posture.

Dog sitting training is a part of training combined with other subjects. After hearing the command, the trained dog is required to sit down quickly and correctly, and can persist for a certain period of time.

When training, the owner stands on the left side of the dog and sends it out? Sit down? Orders. At the same time, the right hand lifts the dog over the neck and the left hand presses the dog's waist corner. When the dog is forced to sit down under this mechanical stimulus, it should be rewarded immediately. After repeated training, dogs can develop a sitting posture. On this basis, combined with gesture training. If you sit in the front row, your right arm is stretched out, your forearm is vertical, and your palm is in one position? l？ Form. If it is a left seat, pat the left abdomen with your left hand. If the dog can sit well, it should be gradually trained to extend the sitting time from 3 to 5 seconds to more than 5 minutes.

Dogs should lie down and practice lying down. Sitting? After learning the movements. During training, two methods can be adopted: first, the owner is on the right side of the dog, facing the dog, holding food in his right hand, slowly moving downward from the top of the dog's mouth, and at the same time giving the password to lie down, and pulling the traction rope downward to give stimulation. At this time, under the stimulation of food and machinery, the dog can make the action of lying down. When the dog lies down, it can use the reward food in time. Later, with the formation of conditioned reflex, rewards and stimuli will be gradually cancelled. Another way is to let the dog sit down. The owner should squat down, hold the dog's two forelimbs with both hands, stretch forward, and press the dog's shoulder blades with his left arm, so that the dog will make a prone movement. At this time, reward food should be given. In the future, the dog should be trained in gestures within a certain distance (left arm drooping, palm forward, palm down, and waving up and down) to improve its action level, extend the command distance, and stick to the prone position for more than 5 minutes according to the owner's password and gestures.

When the dog is standing training, shilling the dog to sit down, then gently pull the traction rope, and send out the password and gesture of "standing" (the right arm is extended towards the dog, and the palm is up). When the dog stands up, it will be rewarded. The owner should gradually leave the dog's side and let the dog stand longer. On this basis, gradually develop the ability to stand by gestures or passwords for a certain period of time.

Dog bow training is based on "standing" action. When training, the owner stands opposite the dog and gives the password of "stand" first. After the dog stands firm, it sends out a "thank you" password, and at the same time grabs the dog's forelimbs with one hand and swings up and down. After several repetitions, touch and reward the food. Then keep your distance from the dog, and don't use your hand to assist when issuing the password. If the dog can't do it, repeat it several times until the dog can. At the beginning of training, simple gestures can be added, but the dog's conditioned reflex to gestures should be prevented. When the action is very stable, as long as the "thank you" password is issued, a series of reflex activities such as standing and bowing will be completed in one go, and there is no need to issue the password twice.
