Training of Saint Bernards. For many friends who raise Saint Bernards, training is still very easy because this breed of dog is very easy to domesticate. Because it has a very cheerful and friendly personality, it will become a loyal and sensible partner with just a little training. So let's learn about the training methods of Saint Bernards together today.
Training of Saint Bernards - Training Should Start from Childhood.
First of all,
Training Saint Bernards should start from childhood. Young Saint Bernards have good memory ability and are full of curiosity and exploration desire for external things. This is the best opportunity to train dogs, and the success rate of training is also the highest. (Parents should not insult, beat, or scold Saint Bernards at will, because this can also easily hurt the dog's self-esteem, which is not good for guiding Saint Bernards to participate in training.)
Secondly,
During training, parents' attitudes should be firm. They should be clear about rewards and punishments when dealing with Saint Bernards. When a dog successfully completes a training session, parents should be generous in giving praise and encouragement. On the contrary, when Saint Bernards avoid training and are naughty and destructive, parents should also punish it unceremoniously, such as scolding it loudly.
Thirdly,
Training Saint Bernards should also start with cultivating simple behavior habits and then gradually transition to skill training. Parents can start from daily eating habits, sleeping habits, and defecation habits, and slowly transition to training in sitting, standing, shaking hands, and other aspects.
Fourthly,
Training Saint Bernards should start from simple and monotonous training. For example, on the carpet, let the pet dog try to chase some toys, and then start to adapt to the owner's way of praise. Through the owner's usual shouts, let the dog know its own name. When the dog is familiar with its own name and responds quickly, more difficult training in living habits can begin.
Fifthly,
During the training process, the owner should be gradual and firm in attitude. Only when Saint Bernards completely master one training action can the next training content be carried out. At the same time, during the training process, the owner's attitude should be firm and rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. When the dog does it right, the owner should encourage and praise it by praising or by using food to praise Saint Bernards.
We all know that Saint Bernards have the obedience to follow the leadership of the strong. So in the training process, the owner should establish his own leadership. The owner is not only the provider of food, the leader of games, but also the leader of behavior. Only with a calm and firm attitude without losing friendliness and gentleness can one obtain the obedience and loyalty of Saint Bernards.
There are several methods for domesticating Saint Bernards, but for each dog with a different personality, the training methods used should also be different. Generally, owners can use comprehensive methods such as food temptation, guidance, and mechanical means to train Saint Bernards, and only after the pet Saint Bernard forms a conditioned reflex can the training of one action be stopped.
