How to train dogs to move forward and turn around? When training dogs to move forward, we must accompany them to complete this task at first. We can prepare a piece of dried meat that the dog loves in advance, then place it about 10 meters away from us. Then say "move forward," and use a leash to guide the dog toward the food. During training, we can gradually reduce the food placed there until there is none.

How to train dogs to move forward and turn around, after discussing training dogs to move forward, let's talk about training them to turn around. Training a dog to turn around is similar to training a dog to move forward in that you still need to use food they like as bait. When dogs see their favorite food, their gaze generally does not leave the food. So at this time, we can rely on the food to complete the training. We can hold the food in one hand, say "turn around," then circle around the dog. The dog will focus on the food in our hand and turn around. Repeating this training for several days, once the dog is familiar with the command, even without using food as bait, they will obediently turn around when given this command.

This article abouthow to train dogs to move forward and turn around has explained the methods to you. One more thing to remind everyone is that if our dog cooperates with the training obediently, we should give them appropriate rewards, praise them, pet their heads, or prepare snacks as a reward. Dogs that receive praise will cooperate with our training even more.
