What to Do When Dogs Do Not Cooperate with Training? Good Methods Will Achieve Twice the Result with Half the Effort
Dogs may seem obedient, but if we do not conduct scientific training, their true nature will be fully revealed, such as urinating and defecating anywhere regardless of the situation, randomly tearing up household items, frequently attacking strangers, etc. Many dog owners recognize the necessity of training dogs but are unclear about the related knowledge. Therefore, they often feel their dogs do not cooperate well during training. How should this issue be solved? Let's learn together below.
In fact, the main reason dogs do not cooperate with training is that we have not mastered the correct training methods. When training dogs, we should not start blindly. First, we need to let the dog recognize its own name, simply put, to let the dog know what its name is. At the beginning, the dog may not respond to our calling at all, but after several attempts, the dog will look at us when it hears its own name. At this time, we should promptly reward the dog, so the dog will recognize its name.
Additionally, when training dogs, do not be stingy with our praise. Whether the dog’s progress is small or large, we should give praise immediately. When praising the dog, the tone should be joyful, so the dog can fully feel our satisfaction. Of course, when praising, do not only use words, but also appropriately give the dog some treats it likes. Doing so can greatly improve the dog’s cooperation.
If our training methods are not the problem, but the dog's cooperation is still low, what is going on? At this time, we need to consider the training duration. Many dog owners are very anxious, wanting to achieve good training results in a short time, thus spending a lot of time training the dog every day. Little do they know, excessive training time can cause the dog to rebel psychologically, resulting in lower cooperation. Therefore, we must grasp the proper training duration.
Many dog owners want to send their dogs to a pet training center once they find the dogs uncooperative. Actually, it is unnecessary. We only need to improve the dog’s cooperation according to the solutions above, because our training process is actually a process of gradually getting familiar with the dog and establishing affection. So it is best to personally take charge, as only this can quickly get close to the dog!
