Shepherd dog is a common name given to the breed of dog that helps shepherds with herding. It does not refer to A breed, including "Border Collie", "German Shepherd", etc. Nowadays, people often raise Border Collies, and German Shepherds are often raised in the army. In the past thousands or hundreds of years, shepherd dogs were mainly used for herding sheep and livestock. The role is equivalent to the guardian of the pasture, protecting the safety of livestock and preventing livestock from running around. At the same time, it can also scare away the intrusion of foreign animals. However, the most reliable animal helpers for farmers are now women and children. As you know, the Shepherd Dog is a dog with higher IQ, relatively well-behaved, and relatively easy to train. However, it is inevitable that some owners will raise the Shepherd Dog at home after it reaches adulthood. Animals are animals after all. , even if they are talented and intelligent, if they are not trained, they will do some overly naughty actions or behaviors that cause headaches to their owners. So how can we make adult shepherd dogs maintain their naughty habits?
1. Mechanically control the behavior of sheepdogs
Mechanical control is a tool used to control the behavior of dogs when they do not listen to instructions. The most commonly used ones are traction belts or dog leashes. When the dog follows its owner out or is being handed over for training, if it does not act according to the owner's intention, you can pull the dog leash to let it be controlled by the owner to avoid doing anything against the owner.
2. Food attracts attention
Food stimulation is a method that most owners know about training dogs. This method has almost never worked. Which dog has it? It can remain motionless in front of the real thing, and if you only train without praising, the shepherd dog will feel that training is a boring thing, and even the smartest dog will feel tired, just like we always did when we were in school. It is common when you are doing homework but not entertaining. Food can attract the dog's attention and make him understand that if he is naughty, there will be something delicious.
3. Mechanical control and praise systems are comparable
The method of combining mechanical control and praise system is to use a dog leash to control the dog when it does not agree to handover training, and use commands to ask the shepherd dog to follow the instructions. Praise should be given when training has certain results. If the compulsive behavior is too repeated, it will have different reflections. When repeated training starts, you will be afraid, avoid, and resist, and you will not remember the training actions. Of course, praise is necessary. Yes, but it should be appropriate. If too much praise will affect the daily eating habits, you can use petting and external praise instead of food to encourage the shepherd dog to achieve the purpose of praise. The dog does like the owner's petting.
It is the shepherd dog’s intelligence and exquisite character that attracts the love of many dog owners today. I hope that all owners will share their love with each other. Don’t forget to maintain your dog’s good habits!
