Sports Training Secrets: Unleash Canine Potential

Now that you’ve completed the obedience training, your dog should be more well-behaved. They can understand and follow some basic commands better. Then on this basis, we will move on to the next training subject: athletic dog training programs.

According to Penn Vet, proper warm-up routines are essential for preventing injuries in canine athletes. Always warm up your dog with 5 minutes of light exercise before training sessions. End each session on a positive note, even if you need to ask for an easy behavior. Vary training locations to help your dog generalize skills to different environments and keep a training journal to track progress and identify patterns.

Canine Sports Overview:

This section of training starts to become more interesting and forms part of dog sports coaching. Activities include Frisbee practice, high jumping, hoop jumping, etc. These are all sports that dogs like very much. This chapter covers athletic conditioning for dogs. It starts with light exercises and gradually increases the intensity to build your dog’s strength.

Professional Sports Training Tips

• Always warm up your dog with 5 minutes of light exercise before training sessions

• End each session on a positive note, even if you need to ask for an easy behavior

• Vary training locations to help your dog generalize skills to different environments

• Keep a training journal to track progress and identify patterns

• Incorporate rest days into your training schedule to prevent physical and mental burnout

• Consider working with a professional trainer for sport-specific guidance

Catch objects in mid-air

Catching in the air trains the dog to jump and catch airborne objects like snacks, balls, or biscuits (avoid socks or torn towels!). This exercise is key for advanced skills like Frisbee catching. It’s part of sports-specific training for dogs.

1. First, tear off a piece of bread, about the size of a lighter, and spray it in front of the dog. When it looks at you and the bread in your hand, shout: "Attention!" Wait for a few seconds, then shout "Catch it." (If it is windy outside, you can also use heavier snacks such as jerky instead.)

2. Then throw the bread in a parabola towards the dog. Because the bread is light, it will fall slowly, which gives the dog time to react and make a move. Pay attention to throwing it about 10 cm above the dog's head. Also, if the dog does not catch it and it falls to the ground, you must stop it from eating immediately; pick it up again and throw it again. This is very important! Tell the dog clearly: If you don't catch it, you won't get to eat it!

3. At first, the dog will only lift its front legs. The height isn’t very high, so it can catch it easily this way. If the dog can already catch it, then start to reduce the size of the bread to half the size of a lighter. If the dog catches it skillfully, start to press the bread with your hands and knead it into a round shape. This way, the object moves faster and faster, thereby improving the dog's judgment and speed.

4. If the dog can catch objects as small as dog food, then the owner needs to throw it a little higher to guide the dog's hind legs off the ground. There is no need to throw it directly over the dog's head: throw it once on the left side of the dog's head, and then throw it once on the right side of the dog's head. These can guide the dog's hind legs off the ground.

5. As long as you train more, Most dogs master this in half a day with consistent obedience training for sporting dogs.

Training points:

• Be sure to shout "attention" before throwing something. This command is very important and can help improve the dog's attention.

• Don’t train too much at first. This needs a lot of the dog’s strength. Start with about 10 sessions. Then, you can slowly increase the number. athletic training programs for dogs demand stamina. If you find that the dog is unwilling to jump, stop training immediately.

• When your dog finishes the action, don’t forget to give it a snack as encouragement immediately.

Catching the UFO

Training dogs to catch frisbees is a classic sports training ground. In fact, not only dogs like this, but people also like it very much. Moreover, this activity is usually carried out outdoors. In addition to having fun with dogs, you can also exercise more. Why not do it?

1. Let’s start with food

What? You have to train your dog to eat food before you can train him to throw a Frisbee? Oh, that's right. Dogs are not that smart. If you don't do some preparatory exercises first, your dog may just sit there and watch you throw the Frisbee without doing anything.

First, you need to take out some food, such as small biscuits or beef jerky. Have the dog sit facing forward. Take out the biscuits or beef jerky. Let it sniff the treats. Step back a few paces and face the dog. Give the command "come on" while tossing the biscuits toward its mouth.

If the owner throws the biscuit above the dog's nose, most dogs can catch it. Then, the owner lets the dog eat the biscuit as a reward.

2. The process of constantly training your dog to throw cookies

We need to let the dog practice catching the biscuits constantly. If it fails to catch the biscuits, you should quickly go forward and pick up the biscuits that have fallen on the ground and throw them back to it. Only when the dog catches the biscuits in the air can you let it eat them as reinforcement.

After a few practices, the dog will understand that the owner wants it to catch the biscuit in the air. Soon, the dog will be able to master the skills of this game.

3. Find something else to replace cookies

When the dog has reached the above ability, the owner can use other items to replace the biscuits, such as a ball to replace the biscuits for training. At this time, the dog's motivation is not the biscuits, but the game. The owner can let the dog sit or stand, take out the ball, give it the command "catch", and throw the ball upwards. Since the dog has mastered the skills of the game, it can often catch it easily.

4. The owner asks the dog to come to him and spit out the ball, then rewards him. This training is over.

With regular training, the dog’s urge to play grows stronger. Its catching skills improve, too. It often leaps to catch the ball in the air. If the dog reacts this way, encourage and reward it fully. Also, help it jump to catch the object during training. This will teach the dog when to jump and improve its catching skills until it gets good at it.

5. Directly replace with frisbee.

Now that the ball is fine, you can start training with the flying saucer. The speed of the flying saucer should be slow at the beginning. The dog owner stands in front of the dog to the right, throws the flying saucer in front of the dog, and gives the command "catch" to it. Most dogs will run to the flying saucer quickly and jump to catch it. If the dog succeeds, the dog owner should give it a full reward to stimulate its interest. If it cannot catch it, the training should be repeated until it succeeds. As the dog's ability improves, the dog owner should change the direction and speed to cultivate its acceptance ability.

Training points:

• Stop your dog when he is having fun, so that he will want to play again next time.

• Before training your dog to play with frisbee, first train it to play with something it likes, and be sure to choose softer items.

• Pay attention to the early training and do it on soft grass to avoid the dog getting hurt. It is key for agility training for dogs.

High Jump

"Jumping" is also an important and basic training. Imagine if your dog can't even jump, if you take it out for a trip, there will inevitably be a small ditch or bump: you "jump" over it, and when you turn around, your dog is still looking at you helplessly on the opposite side; you have to "jump" back to catch it, and then "jump" over it again while holding the dog... How painful it is!

In order to avoid such pain, you should train your dog in advance. There are two ways to train your dog to jump: 1. Small board wall training; 2. Horizontal bar training. You can choose any one of them. This is core to athletic dog training programs.

Small board wall exercise:

Training method: Start with training on a small board wall. In the early stages of training, the height of the small board wall should be 30-40cm.

1. Lead the dog 5-6 steps from the small wall. Then, guide the dog to run in front of it. Give the command "jump" and pull the traction belt forward to encourage the dog to leap over the wall. After the dog jumps over, give a reward. This training can be repeated 2-3 times at the same time.

2. If the dog is afraid to jump over, you can jump over it first (is it easy for a dog owner? You must demonstrate it yourself first), and then pull the leash to induce the dog to jump over.

3. When the dog dares to pass under the guidance, gradually let the dog pass by itself. First, have the dog sit 2-3 steps from the small wall. Then, guide one end of the traction belt to the side in front of the wall. Let the dog move forward and say "jump" while pulling the belt toward the wall.

4. When the dog passes the jump, give it a reward in time. After repeated training like this, when the dog is proficient in jumping, you can gradually increase the height of the small board wall.

If your dog refuses to jump over the board with you, it is probably because the obstacle you placed is too high. In order to cultivate its self-confidence, we must start over, change to a lower board, and give the dog more encouragement. Don't worry, as long as it jumps over once, it will feel that there is nothing to be afraid of, and it will be much easier next time.

Small Board Wall Training Notes:

• Using coercion in training can easily make the dog afraid of obstacles. Coercion should be moderate. Training must be effective. Rewards need to be enough. This way, the dog's passive state can be quickly changed with guidance.

• Do not train too many times in a row at the same time. Each training session should end with a reward after the dog successfully passes the training session. Do not discourage the dog's enthusiasm. It is not easy to train after a full meal.

• Check the training equipment regularly to see if it is firm and intact. Do not train in rainy or snowy days to prevent accidents.

horizontal bar exercises:

1. Use toys or food that the dog likes to attract its attention and increase its motivation. This is very important for training. If the dog is not interested in toys, you should first train it to like toys. It is a good method to use more toys when the owner plays with it.

2. The owner straddles the horizontal bar and shakes the toy on the horizontal bar to make the dog feel the urge to jump over the horizontal bar. If the dog jumps over, give it a reward. The training bar height should be started from the lowest. Make sure it can jump over and have confidence in future jumps. The horizontal bar should not be too high at the beginning, 20-40cm is recommended.

3. If the dog does not want to jump over the bar after throwing the toy, the owner can lead the dog and throw the toy while the owner leads the dog to jump over the bar. Gradually let the dog jump over the bar by himself following the toy thrown.

4. Rewarding the dog after jumping is very important and must be done quickly. Petting, toys, and food are all fine, which can let the dog know what the person wants it to do.

Notes on crossbar training:

• To train a dog to jump high, focus on the bar's height. Keep it low so the dog can't go under it. Because the experience of not getting under the bar once may make it remember for a long time and no longer be willing to jump over the bar.

• Some friends are worried about whether dogs can jump over a 30-40cm horizontal bar. Your dog can jump at least 1 to 1.5 times its shoulder height. This is true as long as your dog is healthy and not pregnant, and it has no back, leg, or rheumatism issues.

That is to say, a medium-sized dog can jump at least 1 meter high, so please rest assured. (But if you have a small dog like Pomeranian or Poodle, forget it~)

Drilling ring

When I was a kid, I often played a game called "Circus" , in which a circus man rode a dog through a circle, it was very interesting~

However, this move is not only for the puppies in the circus. Below, I teaches you a few tricks, so that your puppies can also easily become circus puppies~

1. First, prepare a hoop. Hoop drills add circus flair to sports obedience training. Put the hula hoop in the doorway, and then say to the dog, "Go!" The dog usually knows that you want it to "go through", but due to its nature, it is likely to go under the hula hoop. (Yes, who doesn't want to be lazy~ I don't want to stand when I can lie down~)

2. This won't work, what should you do? You should stand on the other side of the circle and give the command "get in" again! Then take the leash on the dog's neck and pull it through the center of the circle. While calling its name, pull the dog through the circle to get to you. If it shows signs of wanting to run away, persuade it: Good boy, come on. Gently stroke it and let it try again.

3. After several times, the dog finally understands that you want it to pass through the circle. OK, just let it pass. It's nothing more than taking longer steps. The dog becomes more and more skilled.

4. If the dog can pass through the doorway easily, like there’s no hula hoop, you can lift the hula hoop a bit, but it’s still stuck. When the hula hoop is 20-30 cm off the ground and can jump over easily, you can step out of the doorway. Hold the hula hoop in your hand to let it pass.

5. How is it, is it ok? What? The dog still doesn't like to "drill", use some snacks~ Haha, it's done!

Note:

• Don't put the hula hoop too high at the beginning. The lower the better. First build up your interest and confidence in raising a dog.

• Before letting your dog challenge a higher height, be sure to warm up with a few lower jumps.

• It is a good thing to train some skills, but if the dog is really unwilling, don’t force it, otherwise it will become a circus.

Moving Forward

"Forward Exercise" is designed for dogs that are "clingy". (Have you ever had this experience: your dog stays close to your feet when you go out, and you step on it when you walk. Some dogs even want to cling to their owners when they go out.) For clingy dogs, behavior training for sport dogs includes distance work:

The method of "forward training" is as follows:

Using the target ahead

First, have the dog sit. Then, the owner should point to a target nearby, like a small tree or a telephone pole (about 50 meters away). At the same time, give the command to move forward. When the dog wants to move forward, push the dog forward and move forward with the dog.

If the dog takes a few steps forward and wants to stop, the owner should quickly repeat the command and gesture. Then, they should keep encouraging the dog to move forward with driving actions. However, the owner must never run in front of the dog.

As long as the dog can run forward, promptly reward it with the command "good". After it moves forward about 50 meters, let the dog lie down and then reward it again. Keep practicing this training method. Gradually increase the distance between you and the dog. Aim for the dog to move smoothly forward more than 50 meters when you give the command.

Use the method of pretending to send objects to induce the animals to move forward

First, choose a quiet environment with a straight road, let the dog sit and wait, and the dog owner walks about 20 meters along the road. Quickly return to the dog's right side. Use your left hand to hold the collar. Then, guide the dog forward with commands and gestures.

When the dog moves to the place where the item is placed, let the dog lie down. The owner should follow up quickly, walk to the dog and reward it.

After repeated training, gradually extend the distance of the fake delivery to about 50 meters and let the dog move forward. Once your dog can move forward smoothly to that distance, you can cut back or stop the fake delivery. Just use commands and gestures to guide your dog forward.

In the early stage of removing the fake objects, do not require the dog to move forward too far at once. Reward the dog right after it moves forward 3 to 5 meters on command. Then, slowly increase the distance to over 50 meters.

Pick up training:

Advanced dog training techniques for fetching: Next, let's learn about the dog's "fetching training". In fact, this part should be divided into "fetching" and "catching". Let's first introduce the "fetching" exercise:

1. First let the dog sit on your left side. Hold an object in your right hand, such as a toy ball, and then give the command "bite". Then use your left hand to gently open its mouth and put the ball into its mouth.

2. Hold the big lower lip with your right hand. Say "bite" and "good" at the same time. With your left hand, pat the dog's head to help it hold the object firmly.

If the dog tries to spit out the object, repeat the "bite" command. Gently stroke the jaw, place the ball back in the dog's mouth, and let it keep biting the toy.

3. In the initial stage of training, if you can hold it for a few seconds, it is considered a success.

4. The dog owner can then issue the "spit" command. If the dog spits out the toy, the dog owner must touch the dog to let the dog know that it is right and good.

5. Finally, put away the ball toy and reward the dog with food. Repeat the training according to the above method.

Once the dog can pick up and spit out the toy freely according to your command, you can move on to the next step of "fetching" training.

Pick up training

We can use the training method of throwing and picking up to cultivate the dog's ability to "fetch".

1. The dog owner sits on the left side with the dog, and drags the object, such as a small ball, to a place about 10 meters away. After the object stops and the dog's attention is drawn, give a command and gesture to let the dog go and "fetch". If the dog does not go, the dog should be led to go, and the command and gesture should be repeated.

2. When the dog goes to pick up the object, the dog owner will give the command "come" to let the dog pick it up, and encourage the dog with the command "good". Then let the dog spit out the object and give a pat as reward.

3. If the dog wants to grab the item before you say so, hold it back. Wait until the dog is calm, then give the command to let it pick up the item. You must make the dog form a conditioned reflex to pick up the item according to the command.

In this step, the artist must be able to take things quickly and happily, and must also bring back some cultural relics smoothly.

4. If the dog does not come, use the traction rope to correct it. The parabolic throw should be taken from close first and then far, gradually extending the distance to 30m.

Cultivate the dog's ability to identify and conceal the location

I believe male dog owners will be more interested in this training, because it is to train dogs to identify and find hidden objects. Doesn't it feel a bit like a police dog and Sherlock Holmes? Advanced dog training techniques for fetching include:

Method 1: "Discrimination-style placement" training (close range)

1. The dog owner should get three or four clean items that don't smell like people. They should place these items on a flat, clean surface. Then, the owner can lead the dog 2-3 meters away and have it sit. Finally, the owner should mix their scented items with the other items in front of the dog.

2. Then let the dog go to the cloth. When the dog can sniff and identify the owner's items one by one, the command "good" should be given immediately to encourage the dog.

3. Then let the dog sit down next to the owner, spit out the object, and then pat it and give it food as a reward.

4. If the dog picks up the wrong item, the owner should let the dog spit it out and then guide the dog to sniff it again.

5. After repeated training in this way, the dog will be able to correctly obtain the desired object by identification. For dogs that are highly excited and have poor smell recognition, they can be trained by leash.

Method 2: "Concealed Extraction" Training (Close Range)

If the dog has mastered the ability of "discriminative retrieval", we can further let the dog learn "hidden retrieval":

1. The dog owner leads the dog to the pre-selected training location, and asks the dog to sit down or hang the dog. The dog owner waves a piece of cloth, like clothing, in front of the dog. They do this a few times to get the dog's attention. Then, they quickly walk away. They take the item 30 meters away, hide it, and step on it several times. Finally, they return the same way.

2. Guide the dog to the hiding place and let the dog look for the clothes. If some dogs don't know and look confused, you can take out the clothes and let the dog look at them again to let the dog get familiar with the clothes. Repeat this process again.

3. Let the dog retrieve the item. If the dog can retrieve the item by sniffing it, let the dog spit it out and give it a reward. If the dog cannot find the item, the owner should guide the dog to retrieve it and then give it a reward.

4. If it still doesn't work, the dog owner can put some meat in the clothes at first, let the dog smell it first, and then let the dog find it. The effect is also good. Slowly, after the dog is familiar with the clothes, you can replace it with other items and repeat the same method.

Note:

• Forced training methods should be tailored to the dog, with more teasing and induction, and not be rough, so as not to affect the dog's behavior. Rewards must be timely and sufficient.

• To keep your dog excited about street fetching, choose objects that really interest them. Also, don’t let them fetch too many times each session.

• To help the dog adapt to different objects, change street objects often during training.

Professional Training: Ascending and Descending

Canine Athletic Training for Climbing:

The following three trainings are professional:

• Climbing and descending

• Leaping

• Biting

You can decide whether to master them according to your own needs.)

Training equipment for climbing and descending usually includes:

• Ladders

• Joysticks

• Overpasses

The training methods are:

1. Lead the dog to the stairs. Place food on each step or at the top. Then, the trainer will say "up" and let the dog climb. Since food can excite the dog, it is possible for the dog to go up to the platform smoothly. When the dog goes up to the platform, give it a pat and food reward.

2. Pause for a moment, then give the commands "down" and "good", lead the dog down slowly and reward it.

3. During this process, if the dog is afraid to go up (or down), you can use objects that excite the dog to lure it. You can throw the object or food onto the platform in front of the dog. Or, place it on the upper stairs first. Then, give the "up" command and gesture for the dog to go up or down.

4. If some dogs are not responsive to food or other enticements, the trainer should use a training rope to lead the dog to sit at the bottom of the stairs. First, the trainer should climb the stairs to call the dog up. At the same time, they give the command to go up. They can use the training rope to encourage the dog to climb. When the dog comes up, give it food and pat it in time as a reward.

Note:

• This project is slightly dangerous. To stop the dog from zigzagging, familiar people can help guide it. This way, the dog can climb up and down safely and smoothly.

• In this training, as long as the dog dares to go up and down a few times, it will basically be able to adapt.

Professional Training: Crossing

Crossing is sports specific training for dogs for obstacle mastery. The equipment for jumping includes a circle frame, a platform, a large board wall, and a triple jump platform. The training methods for jumping are:

1. The trainer first leads the dog with a rope, and makes the dog sit about 3 to 5 steps in front of the platform. Then a third person helps to lead the dog. The trainer climbs onto the platform with one end of the rope. Then, they call the dog over and say, "up." They tighten the rope and pull it up, encouraging the dog to run. The third person also supports the dog from below to provide assistance.

2. After the dog reaches the platform, reward it immediately. Then take the dog down the stairs and reward it again. Throwing food onto the platform to lure the dog across can also achieve good results. Once the dog crosses, gradually reduce and eliminate force. Use only commands and gestures to guide it.

In the early training stages, make it easier for the dog to cross by starting with a gentler slope on the platform’s fish-scale surface. Then, gradually steepen it.

The training for jumping over a large wall is similar to that for a small wall. However, start with a lower height. A wall of about one meter is best for beginners. Later, as the dog becomes more proficient in jumping over it, the height can be gradually increased to two meters. The training method for jumping over a three-level platform is similar to training for a single platform. However, the dog needs to jump over all three levels in one attempt during training.

Note:

During jumping training, the dog leash should be as long as possible because the trainer has to get on the platform first.

Professional Training: Biting

Biting is the most direct way to prevent and stop crime and attacks. This training is somewhat dangerous. If you have friends who want to train their own dogs, it is recommended to use dog training gear! Advanced dog training techniques for protection include:

1. Cultivation of ferocity

Choose an experienced assistant trainer, who will be properly disguised and hidden. The dog owner will tie the dog to a place at a certain distance from the assistant trainer, and the dog owner will stand next to the dog. The assistant trainer will hold a stick in his right hand and a sleeve in his left. He will come from a hidden spot, making quick, wild movements. He’ll hit the ground with the whip or stick and attack, then retreat. His goal is to tease the dog and get it to bark. The dog owner will encourage the dog to pounce on the assistant trainer and reward it with the command "good".

When the dog gets more aggressive, the assistant trainer can approach it. If the dog opens its mouth, he can give the sleeve for the dog to bite. If the dog bites and won’t let go, the assistant trainer should remove the sleeve. Then, they can use a stick to provoke the dog, making it aggressive. At this point, the assistant trainer should hide while still teasing the dog.

After practicing several times, once the dog completes the training tasks, you can move on to the next step.

2. Training a single dog to bite

The training ground is selected in advance, and the assistant trainer hides in the training ground. The dog owner leads the dog to the training ground. Then, he makes the dog sit on its own, facing the assistant trainer. The owner also takes a half-squatting position. After giving the "attention" command to the dog, the assistant trainer makes a sound to alert the dog.

After a brief pause, the assistant trainer jumps out. They hold a stick and tap it on the ground while moving stealthily. When the dog becomes ferocious enough to bite the assistant trainer, the owner should give the command "attack" to let the dog bite. At this time, the assistant trainer should act as if he is afraid and retreat, and finally stop and run away. The owner keeps giving the commands "attack" and "good" to encourage the dog, and then ends the training.

3. Training the dog to let go

After training with this method, if the dog attacks and bites the assistant trainer, it should learn to "let go."

The basic approach is:

When the dog owner tells the dog to bite the assistant trainer's sleeve, the trainer fights back for a bit. Then, he lowers his arm. The sleeve falls to the ground and stays still. At this time, the dog owner gives the command "release" and pulls the leash slightly back.

Some dogs will let go as soon as they hear the "release" command from their owners, but some will not. The trainer should repeat the command and pull the leash backwards, using the left hand to cut the dog's nose or fingertips to force the dog to let go. Once the dog shows a basic conditioned reflex, gradually increase the training distance. This helps you command the dog to "release" from farther away.

After repeated training, your dog will become very aggressive. As long as you give an order, your dog will pounce on any suspicious person!

Do you know how to teach a dog to swim?

Canine sports conditioning for water safety: In fact, the title should be "How to make dogs swim more skillfully and safely?" Because dogs are born with the ability to swim, but they will become more skilled after training.

When taking your dog for swimming training for the first time, you should use a dog leash

If it is the first time to take your dog swimming, a dog pool is of course the best, but a creek or river is also a good choice. Choose a clean practice place. Make sure there’s no debris on the ground. If there is, it will be unsafe for people and dogs.

Before letting the dog into the water, tie the dog chain. This ensures safety and helps the owner control the dog at all times. When the dog encounters problems in the water, such as sinking, the rope chain can be used to rescue the dog in time.

Practice in shallow water

When you swim for the first time, be sure to find a shallow area, which is convenient and safer to count.

First, let the dog get used to playing in the water. You can gently splash water on the dog, but never splash water on its face, so as not to make it uncomfortable. In the water, the owner can hold a toy and induce the dog to swim forward step by step, so that it can slowly adapt. Most playful dogs will happily swim around following the toys. When the dog is used to playing in the water, you can take it to deep water.

Correct the dog's front foot swing

If the dog's head is too high, its tail dips in the water, and its front feet swing wildly, it might be swimming wrong. This looks tough and wastes energy without helping it move forward. At this time, the owner needs to give the dog some help, that is, lift the dog's front feet and teach it to swing regularly. When it gets used to the correct action, it will be able to play with you in the water freely.

Key points for swimming training care:

After your dog swims, always shower them. Sea water has salt, pools have chlorine, and rivers can have bacteria. Therefore, no matter where the dog swims, you must clean it as soon as possible after swimming.

Also, if your dog is feeling unwell, looks listless, or is very tired, it is best not to let it swim. When the weather conditions are bad, do not take your dog swimming outdoors to avoid catching a cold and getting sick.

How to make your dog obey you? 5 tips

Many friends feel that when training dogs, there are often times when the dogs are not very obedient. This is normal. After all, dogs are not humans and their intelligence is not that high, so dog owners must be more patient. Dog sports training relies on engagement: In addition, "I summarizes the following 5 tips for you to better help you train your dog:

• Pay attention to choosing a quiet room for training. When training a dog, you must train in a quiet space. This way the dog can hear your signal clearly, and there will be no extra noise or owner to affect the dog and distract the dog's attention.

• Use something to attract the dog. If the dog loses focus during training, you can give it something to attract its attention. Usually it is a toy, but it can also be food. When it looks back, remember to reward the dog in time.

• Change the place. If the dog always does not train well, sometimes it is because he is a little irritable. At this time, you can change the place and give the dog new questions, so that the dog will start to concentrate again.

• You can keep moving to attract the dog. If the dog always refuses to train well, you can also try running and calling "come" to reward the dog when it runs with you.

• Food! Don’t forget to use food, it is the core of dog training! No dog can listen to your verbal rewards and train with you for half an hour. You must use food to attract the dog to continue training!

Finally, please remember: no matter how good a trainer is, it takes a long time to learn and consolidate! Patience and consistency make athletic training programs for dogs rewarding. Your effort builds a well-behaved companion and deepens your bond!
