① The owner leads the dog to a place where people are active, the assistant trainer naturally approaches the dog and holds food to feed the dog. If the dog tries to eat, the owner promptly lightly taps the dog’s mouth.

② Then feed the dog again. If the dog shows eating behavior, give a stronger stimulus. At this time, the owner issues the command “bark” and pretends to attack the assistant trainer, encouraging the dog to provoke the dog’s defensive reaction.

③ When the dog barks to challenge the assistant trainer, the owner should take the opportunity to run away and reward the dog.

④ After such training, when the dog can challenge the assistant trainer who gives the food without accepting it, the training method of the assistant trainer throwing food in front of the dog and leaving is adopted. If the dog snatches or picks up the food, the owner immediately issues the “no” command and sharply pulls the leash to stimulate. If the dog no longer picks up food, reward the dog. Training pet obedience forward training involves training the pet dog to move forward according to the owner’s indicated direction, which can cultivate or improve the dog’s obedience. In some irregular dog competitions among civilians, there is this competition event.

Training Objective: Use the method of fake object delivery to teach the pet dog to move forward.

Training Tools: objects, collar

① Choose a quiet environment with a straight path, have the dog sit and wait. The owner walks 20 meters along the path, pretends to place an object, then quickly returns to the right side of the pet dog.

② Use the left hand to hold the pet dog’s collar and command the dog to move forward with gestures and commands. When the pet dog moves to the location of the object, command the dog to lie down, then quickly go to the dog and give a reward.

③ Through repeated training, gradually extend the distance of fake object delivery to about 50 meters and command the dog to move forward. When the dog can smoothly move to the above distance, reduce or cancel the fake object delivery action, only using verbal and gesture commands to direct the dog. In the initial stage of removing the fake object delivery action, do not rush to demand a long distance, as long as the dog can follow the command to move forward 3 to 5 meters, immediately reward the dog. Then gradually extend the moving distance to more than 50 meters, command the dog to sit, then give a food reward. Repeated training in this way gradually increases the distance between owner and dog, until the dog can smoothly move forward more than 50 meters according to the command.

During training, the owner must never run ahead of the pet dog.

Training Objective: Use advantageous terrain to train the pet dog to move forward.

Training Tools: food.

① Choose roads by the wall, riverbanks, ridges, corridors, or other advantageous terrain, and first have the pet dog sit facing the direction of movement.

② The owner points forward and simultaneously gives the command “forward.” When the pet dog moves forward, push the dog forward and walk along with the pet dog.

③ When the pet dog takes a few steps and wants to stop, promptly repeat the gestures and commands and urge the pet dog forward with a driving motion. As long as the dog moves forward, give timely verbal praise.

In the early stage of training, the owner can follow the dog according to the dog’s condition, but later can gradually stop following and allow the dog to move alone until the dog can move toward the target according to commands.

Training Objective: Use clear targets to teach the pet dog to move forward.

Training Tools: toys.

Training Steps:

① Choose a prominent and independent target, such as a standalone house, large tree, or bridge.

② The owner first takes the pet dog to familiarize with the environment at the target, then leaves a certain distance, throws the toy to the target place, allowing the pet dog to fetch back and forth several times.

③ Take the pet dog to a place about 50 meters from the target, command the dog to sit facing the target, the owner points to the target and gives the “forward” command to let the dog move toward the target.

④ When the dog reaches the target, command it to lie down and give food.
