How to reward dogs during training? Rewards are a way of encouragement, a countermeasure to radiate the dog's pride and motivation. According to effective rewards, it can enhance the dog's memory and conditional stimulation to appropriate personal behaviors. Of course, rewards also focus on methods. Incorrect reward methods cannot achieve the effect of encouragement, and it is always not worth the loss.
1. Reward opportunities are very important
People are thinking logic, while dogs are related logical thinking. Dogs do not understand the logical relationship of people. They only focus on "the current rights and interests". Therefore, when training dogs, do not reward when they do not perform appropriate postures. They should give rewards as soon as possible after they perform specific postures. They must pay attention to it as soon as possible. If the reward is delayed for a long time, they do not know why you reward them. They must let them relate the reward to their personal behavior!
Be careful not to hold the snacks in your hands. It is best to put the snacks in the bag. When rewarding, take the snacks from the bag to reward them. This will prevent it from just following the snacks. When it sees you not holding on, it will feel that you don’t have snacks and do not follow the orders.
2. There are many reward methods.
Rewards are not just ingredients, but toys, verbal praise and caress are also classified as several types of reward methods. How to choose a reward method also pays great attention to it.
Dogs are very sensitive to ingredients. Food rewards are the favorites of dogs, but food rewards are not the best reward method. After all, eating too many snacks will make it cultivate the habit of greed.
Toy rewards are chemical substance rewards. If you want your dog to like this reward, you need to put away the toys after playing with them and let them play as a reward when only training is done, so that the dog can maintain the mystery of the toys.
Verbal praise and caress are the best reward methods. Dogs are very sensitive to body touch and their owner's mentality. Touching their stomachs, patting their heads, and exaggerating verbal praise will make them feel a huge sense of accomplishment. The dog is becoming more and more confident during training.
