Dogs Training: The Command “Place”

You must teach the dog to return to the place both in everyday life, and during special training. As conditioned stimuli the command and gesture may be, as unconditional

The Meaning Of ‘Obedience’

There is some confusion in the definition of “obedience”. The thing is that on the basis of one and the same set of commands (sit, lie down, stand, etc.), under the general title “obedience”, different trainers conduct, in principle, training of various courses (IPO, Sports Training, OKD, exhibition Training, etc.).
Under obedience, unfortunately, the majority of trainers and dog owners understand the knowledge of a dog as a simple set of commands. In this case, the owner simply does not understand, but the trainer does not explain that as a result of such training dogs will perform a command or when it is not interfere (there is no distracting stimuli), or when it is interested in the performance of the team (a delicacy or a game). In critical situations, such a dog will be unmanaged. (Chasing a cat, a dog will not return to the command of owner).
About true obedience we can say when:

Important Things That Concern Educating And Teaching A Dog

While educating and teaching a dog, many trainers underestimate the role of random factors that have, nevertheless, a strong impact on the animal. Contrary to a popular postulate of the theory of conditioned reflex activity, which argues that in order to develop a conditioned reflex, 30-40 combinations of stimuli (that are effects) in certain conditions are needed, an impact that is long delayed in the memory of the dog is quite enough sometimes. Simply put, a dog can remember some things not worse than human. Sometimes once happened events can completely change the behavior of dogs in any given situation, and this must be taken into account in the daily controlling of the animals.

Train Your Dog – The Lessons

Is there enough time that you spend on the playground for the qualitative development of skills? If you do not go to the playground and the instructor comes to you and holds private lessons near your house, are these lessons enough? Is it necessary to work with the dog even in those days, when the lessons with an instructor are not provided?

Let us just count up. For example, take a course of obedience, which I propose to conduct individually (with the departure to the house) for my clients. The course includes 20 sessions, held twice a week. To be precise, there is one more lesson, but it is offered as a test one, and it is free and is not included into the course. But for simplicity we express it in round numbers.

The method would involve five classes per hour each. And later, when the dog gets used to the work, the duration of studies is 1.5 hours. The last five studies are conducted in conditions of strong distracting stimuli; much time is spent on replacement of places on city streets, so the duration of each session is 2 hours already. It is easy to calculate that the “paid” time of all classes during the course is 30 hours. With two sessions per week duration of the course is 10 weeks. If the client does not train with the dog when is alone, he has given 30 hours to develop skills during almost three months.

Now imagine that a client works with the dog per 30 minutes in those days, when it has no scheduled classes. It is easy to determine that in this case he works with the dog 55 hours during 10 weeks. Almost twice as many than in the first case! But there are clients who find the time and effort to work with the dog in the right way. And each day they repeat the training, which was held by an instructor last time, without assistance. And do it in the same volume. Again, run the calculator, and get the result: 10 weeks include 105 hours of the dog

Things You Should Know About How To Train Your Dog

A young dog just can not be reliably controllable under all circumstances. It is necessary to know and consider this.

One of the main conditions for making persistent skills is training.
Training should be conducted aiming to:

Make the dog work in conditions of strong distracting stimuli.

Bring developed reflexes to persistent skills.

Develop dynamic stereotypes as the reaction onto a command and environment.

The last point should be explained in greater detail. Imagine that during the walk you usually go to the store (for example, to buy bread). It is clear that in order to avoid conflicts your dog should be left at the door. What are you doing? You give the command “sit”, after setting a little dog aside to the side (so as not to interfere with passers-by, and that they did not interfere with the dog). For reliability, you may throw the loop of short leash on the fence or on some pin sticking out of the ground etc. Even if the dog falls through, it will be kept with the leash. It would be preferably for you to monitor the dog

Dogs Training: Not Slackening Under A Command

Nothing pleases trainer more then dog that is active, interested in Oporto and being in the mood for fighting the man. Interested persecution of a “prey”, absence of fear to struggle and the desire to work – all these qualities make it possible to introduce more complications easily and to lead a dog on all steps of protective training planned. But the learning process is never smooth. One of the problems that are often faced by the trainer is reluctance to slacken a bite (of a sleeve) under the “Give” command when needed.

It is known that not slackening under a command, for example, in the IPO, causes the same ruthless dismissing from a test as when there is no bite at all. But taking into consideration that the lack of bite may be caused by various causes, including congenital defects of a nervous system, not slackening under a command is a consequence of methodological and technical mistakes in dog training, which can and should be avoided.

Why a dog does not slacken the bite? This occurs because the protective training is conducted with a minimum inhibitory stimuli, the stimulation of the nervous system is maintained at a very high level. Figurant (or a trainer – dog owner, when the exercises are processed without assistance) encourages a bite, tightens the object to him and re-releases it then, making the dog compress the prey more and more harder. As a result, some dogs become overexcited, and the bite could become almost mortal. In this case, it may be quite problematic to get the dog to switch and throw the prey, and many inexperienced trainers are not able to manage with such a task.

Typically, in such cases, the dog throws a prey after a lengthy of “persuasion”, soothing strokes, and it happens after the natural decay of excitation. Teaching a dog to throw a prey “in a nice
