British Bulldog (definite introduction)
Dogs have different personalities, and some dogs are bold Courageous, some dogs will naturally be timid and fearful. Courageous dogs often show warning to unfamiliar situations, but are not afraid. Weak dogs often feel fearful. We should train more weak dogs, and the key to improving this problem is to understand how to improve dogs' phobias.
Fear is divided into three categories:
1. Biological fear:Fear of people mostly occurs in strangers, among which Most of the people wearing clothes and carrying things are children and men.
Solution:In this situation, you cannot make the dog adapt by blindly reducing stimulation. This will only make the dog unable to accept the stimulation and become more fearful. Let the dog change its attention when it is afraid, do another thing, and change its reaction to the stimulus. Give instructions when you meet a stranger, and praise him if he obeys the instructions, so that his attention is not focused on the stranger. When he reacts, he realizes that the stranger passing by is not so terrible. If the dog starts to notice the stranger, you can use the dog leash tied around the dog's muzzle to turn the dog's head.
When the dog can adapt, gradually reduce the intensity of the stimulation, and finally make the dog not afraid of any similar stimulation. Start training with strangers that the dog is not so afraid of, and then let the stranger stand far away and give the dog instructions. If the dog follows the instruction, praise it, and then ask the stranger to stand closer next time, and then give the instruction. By analogy, you might as well switch to a type of person that your dog is more afraid of. The initial purpose is to allow the dog to focus on the command when the stranger is very close.
2. Non-biological fears: Mainly include fear of thunder, fear of noise, fear of stairs, etc. Dogs may behave destructively when they are scared and may injure themselves. Symptoms include panting, wide-eyed, trembling, screaming, and trying to escape.
Solution:Create a safe place for the dog at home, and let it escape to a place where it feels safe when it is afraid. Let the dog change its attention when it is scared, do another thing, and change its reaction to stimulation. You can also give it zero when it is thundered.food and toys. When the dog can adapt, gradually reduce the intensity of the stimulation, and finally make the dog not afraid of any similar stimulation.
3. Fear of the environment: Mainly include breakup anxiety and fear of pet hospitals. Breakup anxiety mainly occurs in families where the relationship between the owner and the dog is very close. Symptoms include breaking things, shouting constantly, urinating and defecating everywhere, loss of appetite, panting, and behavioral licking.
Solution: Use the method of establishing conditioned reflexes to turn the feared stimulus into a preferred stimulus. Only provide his favorite toys or snacks when the owner leaves. The owner should not give precise notices to the dog when he goes out, avoid giving the dog too many surprises when he comes home, and do not play music or the owner's frequent sounds when at home.
