1. Potty train your dog indoors
Both new and adult dogs need urination training when they arrive in a new environment. This training should begin in the indoor environment where the dog lives. This includes helping him to arrange a comfortable nest. And give him a regular place to go to the bathroom. You can choose to let him go to the bathroom in an area of the house that is easier to clean, such as the bathroom or balcony.
Suitable for ages 0-2 months
[Training Objective] To get your dog used to urinating at regular intervals indoors.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. Lay the newspaper where you want the dog to go to the bathroom. This is because dogs are not as smart to defecate directly on the newspaper the first time. After letting him defecate on the newspaper with your encouragement, his training memory will be that newspaper Defecation = encouragement, even if it is a successful first step.
2. Gently guide your dog to the toilet 10 – 20 minutes after feeding or at the end of an activity. Close the door and let him move around the space of the newspaper, then use words to encourage him to urinate.
3. Once the intention to urinate is present, please do not physically interfere, but give verbal rewards at the first opportunity. Good!” for example.
4. When he finishes defecating on the newspaper, continue to give gentle encouragement, then touch his head and back with your hand. The goal is to get the dog to like the behavior pattern, create a memory, and be willing to repeat it.
5. During the training process, if the dog can urinate on the newspaper, he can gradually reduce the number of newspapers and eventually reduce the number of newspapers to a block where the dog will still go to the toilet in that location. Try to repeat the above training procedure at a fixed time every day, and eventually the dog will go to the toilet of its own accord and defecate in the newspaper area.
[Ark Review]
Encouragement comes in the form of reminders of common words, such as poop good, and your dog will take your words to heart in the context of poop and pee training. In the early stages of training, do not take away the urine- and feces-stained newspaper immediately after your dog urinates or defecates to give him enough time to remember the place and the relevance of the smell of urine and feces. Using scents to help remember the results can make learning faster. Poop attractants can also be used. Potty attractants are products used to train dogs to spot defecate, and are commonly available as a spray in a bottle.

Training dogs not to jump on people
Pomeranian
Training dogs not to jump on people
When dogs are excited, they express it with frantic behavior where the dog repeatedly jumps into the air and tries to lick the dog owner’s face. These faulty actions set the dog up for a bad habit of jumping in the future. Even if the dog owner quickly puts the dog back on the ground, the dog will think the pouncer will be rewarded. As the dog grows up, it still expects the same treatment from its owner. To get closer to the owner’s face, it will try its best to jump up and cause a lot of trouble, especially for the elderly and children. This behavior can become more dangerous, so let the dog get rid of such bad habits as soon as possible!
Optimal training age 2-5 months
The training goal is for the dog to learn to be quiet when excited and for the dog to know that this is a bad habit and should be forbidden.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. When you enter the room, command your dog to sit instead of using the wrong command, such as down. Do not improve your voice to jump your arm, as it will further irritate him. When the dog sits exactly according to your code, reward him by touching his chin. Then you need to step on the leash to avoid the dog jumping up.
2. Dogs want to be valued by you and want to make their presence felt, so they will draw your attention to them in various ways. At this point, you just need to look at it quietly, do nothing, and show anger. When the dog sees the way you look, it will reflect on its behavior like the wrong child.
3. Dog owners can use the ignore treatment. When you ignore the way the dog jumps up to greet you, avoid eye contact and walk right past him. When the dog’s legs hit the ground, command it to sit, then bend down to the same height as it. If you do exactly that, give it a reward.
[Ark Review]
Control your dog in a positive way. Never press against his chest, step on his hind legs or press on his front paws when he jumps up in excitement. You can control your dog in the traditional way, strictly but not in anger. When you encounter a child, to avoid the dog jumping to the child, always tie your dog with a leash when you still have children. Keep the child’s hands down. If the dog doesn’t jump at the child excitedly, you will reward him.

Training dogs not to eat other people’s food</span

Training dogs not to eat other people’s food
Dogs are human friends, but not everyone likes them so much, some people hate them so much, and some people who steal them hate them so much that they put some poisonous food in some places for them to eat, poisoning them to their unpleasant ends, so it is very important to train your dog not to eat food handed over by strangers.
Optimal training age 5-8 months
[Training Objective] Train your dog to refuse to eat other people’s food to avoid accidents.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. Dogs are greedy. When they see the temptation of food, they may not be able to control their behavior. Training a dog to refuse to eat not only prevents the dog from over-eating, but also prevents injury from accidentally eating something given by a bad person. Train your dog not to eat food given by strangers to prevent dog accidents. To ensure that the training is not disturbed, first choose a venue with few pedestrians and little disturbance. The dog owner asks a friend to give him a piece of the dog’s favorite food.
2. The owner first invites a friend to help feed the dog food. When the dog tries to eat, the owner stops the dog from trying to eat by pulling back on the leash tightly and saying to the dog, NO code, telling him that such behavior is wrong.
3. If the dog still can’t refuse to eat the stranger’s food, then you can take another approach to stop the dog from refusing to eat. If the dog wants to eat the stranger’s food, the owner will shout: No while pulling up on the leash to stop the dog from eating. Please be careful not to hurt the dog!
4. Reward your dog as soon as he is no longer interested in a stranger’s food. Refusing to eat is a difficult training for dogs, and it takes a long time to consolidate the effect. Also, the effectiveness of refusing to eat training is closely related to the quality of the dog.
[Ark Review]
With repeated training, the dog will develop a conditioned reflex to refuse to eat food given outside on the ground and by strangers. For some dogs with strong appetite reflexes, refusal to eat training often takes longer and requires more effort on the part of the owner, but they still need to keep training for the sake of the dog’s health. If they work hard, the iron pestle will sharpen the needle.

IV. Training dogs to bark and bite others out of fear
Huskies
IV. Training dogs to bark and bite others because they are afraid
Although dogs that bark and bite because of aggression may look like aggression, the reasons for such aggressive bites are different and require different methods of correction. Dogs that bark out of fear are more sensitive than aggressive animals and prefer to curl up behind their owner’s legs. This problem is usually caused by a lack of individual communication in the animal, but it may also be genetic.
Optimal training age 2-5 months
[Training Objective] Dogs that are prone to fearful barking have learned to distrust humans from their own experiences. Let the dog learn to trust humans to avoid barking and biting when they are afraid.
Training difficulty
[Training steps]
1. You can ask your friend for help. Of course, a professional dog trainer is better, and training should be done slowly and carefully. Do not feed him before each exercise and put on a long leash. Your friend should walk a long way with the food.
2. Have your friend or dog trainer place the food in the palm of your hand and walk your dog over to it. Have your friend not talk to him, but get down on your knees, turn your back to the dog, and avoid eye contact.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 of the exercise a few times, then have your friend turn around slightly and repeat a few times. Also, you should have food in your palm. At this point, your friend still cannot communicate with the dog with his eyes.
4. After a few days of successful training, you can move on to the next phase of training. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with your friend still on his knees, but this time facing the dog to feed him.
5. Let your dog go to your friend. At this point, your friend should remain still and face him, but avoid eye contact, backing up as you feed him. If the dog still shows fear at this stage, go back to the previous stage and repeat the previous training.
[Ark Review]
A dog that barks out of fear can be complicated. He may curl up close to his owner and wag his tail submissively, but he may suddenly lunge forward after being startled. Dogs with this problem often lack confidence. Reinforcing your prestige in training will only lead to the dog losing more and more confidence. So train your dog gently.
