3. Detailed explanation of key training items
1. Key points of basic instruction training:Use clickers to assist training for the best results. During sitting training, raise the snack above the dog's head to naturally guide it to sit down, and at the same time issue the "sit" command, and reward it immediately after completion. Note that each training session does not exceed 5 minutes.
2. Comparison of fixed-point defecation training data:
| method | success rate | Average time taken |
|---|---|---|
| newspaper law | 68% | 2-3 weeks |
| urine pad induction method | 82% | 1-2 weeks |
| outdoor timing method | 91% | 3-4 weeks |
3. Behavior modification program:In response to the recently hotly searched issue of "separation anxiety", it is recommended to use progressive training: leave briefly for 1 minute first, and gradually extend it to more than 30 minutes. Coupled with anti-anxiety toys (such as food leakage balls), barking can be reduced by 75%.
4. Data related to nutrition and training
| training phase | Recommended calories | protein requirements | Best training period |
|---|---|---|---|
| puppy stage | 250-300kcal/kg | ≥22% | 30 minutes before meals |
| Adult stage | 200-250kcal/kg | ≥18% | 1 hour after meal |
| competition period | 300-350kcal/kg | ≥25% | morning/evening |
5. Solutions to common problems
Question 1:Having trouble concentrating during training? Try to replace the reward with a higher value (such as boiled chicken breast), keep the training environment quiet, and take the dog to consume some energy before each training.
Question 2:Resist wearing a leash? Use desensitization therapy: first let the dog smell the collar and reward it, gradually increase the wearing time, and maintain positive interaction throughout the process.
Question 3:Overly excited to meet a stranger? Use the "sit-and-wait" command to interrupt the excitement, invite friends to assist in repeated social training, and reward each correct response.
