1. Train dogs to live peacefully with other dogs
For dominance, dogs of the same sex often violate each other. And male dogs are more likely to do so than female dogs, mostly in the dog’s own territory. Some dogs are simply uncomfortable with interactions, mainly caused by sex hormones. This behavior can be reduced by removing young male dogs. In many cases, the dog’s apparent aggression is actually for defense, not for attack. He wants the other dog to leave, not to fight him. Dogs that have not learned to communicate properly and those with prior convictions are prone to this behavior. Professional help is needed to help him integrate into the pack so your dog can learn to get along with other dogs instead of attacking each other.
Best age for training 0 to 2 months
The training goal is to keep the dog from provoking other dogs and causing controversy.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. Make eye contact. When your dog makes eye contact with your opponent, you should be disturbed. Raising the tail and looking angrily at the opponent indicates a fight is about to break out.
2. Between you and another dog, many dogs will defend their owner by attacking. The dog stands between you and the other dog, dragging the leash, which can enhance its aggressive mood. The dog may end up associating the tightness of the leash with aggression, but if the leash is disconnected, aggression may not occur.
3. Tight leash syndrome, although you may instinctively shorten your dog’s leash when he acts aggressively, this usually exacerbates the behavior. Forcing him to come back will increase his desire to attack. You should turn his head away so he can’t make eye contact with other dogs.
4. Distract the dog. When you encounter a possible attack, you should use your dog’s favorite toy to get his attention, then command him to sit. When your dog behaves well, you should reward him.
5. Recall training, preferably in a quiet, distraction-free environment. Retrain your dog to come back to you on a long leash or leash, luring him with his favorite toy.
[Ark Review]
Real life scenarios, when your dog comes to you after training in a quiet place, and when training outdoors, you should have other dogs present, but at a distance. If your dog is not attacked, he should be rewarded. Shorten the distance between the two dogs each day and reward them for being calm.

II. Train your dog to ride quietly in the car

II. Training your dog to ride quietly in the car
If you want to travel with your dog to promote intimacy, you have to deal with the dog needing a ride in modern life. If you take your dog far away, you have to drive. But there are two kinds of dogs in the car, those who are too excited and those who are very nervous. These two extremes of personality can make it impossible for the car owner to concentrate on driving. So training your dog to find a place to lie down as soon as you get in the car will not only keep your dog steady and quiet, it will also make him less prone to car sickness.
Best age for training 2 to 5 months
The training goal is for the dog to ride quietly in the car without interfering with the dog owner’s driving.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. Handle a dog that gets excited easily. When the dog sees the door open, he gets very excited and suddenly rushes to the car. Let the dog listen to the dog owner, hear the code to get in the car, and then let him get in. Have the dog wait patiently before giving out the code and stop even if there is an urge to get in the car.
2. A dog that has just gotten into the car may be excited and calm, jumping around all the time and trying to run to the front seat. Therefore, sit next to the dog as soon as it gets in the car and immediately comfort it or make it sit. When it may lunge forward or can’t be quiet, feed it mostly with a no or NO muzzle.
3. Dealing with a dog that is easily nervous. If it’s a dog with a nervous personality, use a transport crate from the start because it makes the dog feel more secure and doesn’t scare the dog because of the change in environment.
4. Once the dog is in the transport crate, start the engine, but do not move it. Let the dog sit in the transport crate and experience the atmosphere of the car and get used to being in the car and knowing it is safe there.
[Ark Review]
In addition to the person driving, it is best to have a passenger to help control the dog’s movement. If no one is available to help, it is recommended that the dog owner have a transport crate in the back seat. Have the dog get into the transport crate directly into the car, and when the dog is used to getting into the car and sitting in a fixed position without barking, then move out of the transport crate and have the dog sit directly in the back seat. At first, try to find a place not far from home and take the dog out so that the dog can associate fun with the car and he will love it and will not be timid. Then slowly extend the distance and time. Drive carefully, because the dog does not know when the car will turn, so slow down when turning and do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly. If the owner leaves the car, he must take the dog with him, especially in the hot summer. Fifteen minutes in a car without air conditioning could lead to heatstroke or even death for the dog!

Training dogs not to chase other small animals
Ancient Shepherd Dogs
Train your dog not to chase other small animals
Dogs have been chasing and hunting other animals for thousands of years. Through breeding, humans have gradually softened the instinct, but some breeds and individual dogs still retain it, which is a serious problem, especially for dog owners. However, in the process of chasing other animals, there is no awareness that it is crossing the road. When adrenaline is elevated, many dogs may not even hear your call and can easily get into danger.
Best age for training 2 to 5 months
Let dogs live in peace with other small animals.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. Unless your dog has lived with other animals since he was a child, you should estimate the problems he will have when he encounters livestock. The dog stares at the sheep first, but he is on a leash under the control of his owner. Don’t let the dog run around the farm or any other place with animals unless you are sure he won’t chase other animals. You should take similar precautions when the dog first encounters another animal.
2. The goal of this exercise is to translate the dog’s pursuit instinct into controlled movement. Experiment with different toys to find out which toy the dog likes best. Tease your dog with the toy.
3. The training location should be quiet and not easily distracted. It is best to control your dog outdoors on a long leash by throwing a toy he likes, but leaving another toy he likes next to you. He will instinctively chase the tossed toy.
4. Call your dog’s name and command him to come in between touches of the toy. When you recall your dog, the action should be exaggerated, and wave the second toy to lure him back. Then play with your dog and reward him.
5. Go to the toy and pick it up and bring it back on a leash. The dog will know that the toy he is chasing belongs to you. Repeat steps 3 through 5 in a more stimulating environment.
6. Retrieve training in the presence of your pet when your dog stops chasing the object of your choice after training. Throw the toys in the opposite direction from the other animals and encourage the dog to get them back. This way, you can quickly control his chasing instincts with a retrieval training game.
[Ark Review]
In training, don’t forget to reward your dog when he stops chasing other animals and gets back the toy you threw. Let him know it’s the right thing to do and give positive energy.

Training dogs to play games with children

Training dogs to play games with children
Tell your child that dogs need protection and care too, and let him do the work that your child can do, which will increase your child’s sense of responsibility. A dog’s life is happier when he has a child with him, like a good companion who is not afraid to get tired. Do not care about the look of a dirty home after playing. You’ll know what a happy life is when you see pictures of them sleeping after playing!
Optimal age for training 2 to 6 months
[Training goal] To get the dog and child to play games and get along.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. A dog can become very alert when a child throws a retrieval toy. A well-trained dog will only do this when commanded to do so. Play training for finding objects is best done by adults. The child can only be involved if the dog knows exactly how to do it.
2. Children receive toys brought back by the dog under adult supervision. Before a child starts, all dog activities should be supervised by an adult until he can understand how to play with and control the dog.
3. When a child takes a toy, he can reward his dog with a treat. By playing games, your dog will learn that children have the right to live in human groups, too. He will also learn to play with children.
4. The dog must know that all the toys belong to the owner, even if the owner is a child. After the game is over, the child should let the dog see him put the toys back in the toy basket. This reinforces the child’s position in the dog’s eyes.
[Ark Review]
The first good impression is important! Have the child meeting the dog for the first time sit on the floor, give the puppy some snacks, and let the puppy ask the child’s little hand to get to know the little owner. After getting to know each other, teach them how to play with the toy and show the child how to be gentle with the dog. If the dog goes crazy, have the child leave immediately and end the game. If you want your dog to be interested in humans and everyone to love him, he needs to spend more time than other dogs. For example, if he plays with another dog for 5 minutes, the owner needs to play with the dog for at least 15 minutes.
