Although this sounds strange, we face a very common question, many owners despair of their pets because they think they are being ignored or do not obey them on purpose, but you should know that they are not.
The vast majority of the time, the problem lies in poor communication or the fact that the training process was not done correctly.
- If your dog does not obey you and wants to know what to do.
- In this article of Animal Expert we explain everything you need to know and do.
Take paper and pencil and answer the following questions
A dog is not a human being: think differently, behave differently and feel different, before deciding to adopt a dog you must be very clear about the education you need and what you will do if not everything goes perfectly.Just as you would take your child to a doctor or psychologist if he or she had serious behavioral problems, you should do the same with your dog, the recommended person to solve a behavioral problem is the ethologist.
What you need to know about dog behavior:
How’s your behavior, are you upset if your dog does something wrong?Are you yelling at him? It is understandable that at some point your puppy may frustrate you, but you should not be angry, bored or yelling at it will only keep your dog away from you, in addition, recent studies have shown the low effectiveness of dominance against positive reinforcement.
You think your dog’s a machine? A dog is an animal, sometimes it seems that we forget it, you may be looking at a window for 10 minutes, but you do not realize that your dog needs to feel something, one thing is obedience and another is that the animal lacks freedom.Let him walk as he deserves and according to his needs.
Do you spend too much time alone? If your pet gets bored or doesn’t do the exercise it needs, it’s normal for objects to be destroyed, no long as you scold them won’t fix anything for you.Therefore, it is very important that before adopting a dog, you are clear about its needs and then meet them.
In short: you can’t expect your dog to behave well if it doesn’t meet its basic needs or deprives it of a certain freedom, a dog that obeys you is the one that comes to you because it has lost hours in its training, because it has used positive reinforcement instead of punishment.A good relationship based on the dog’s reward will make him obey him much more and on his own initiative.
In the previous point we have seen many of the causes that may have triggered this situation, now we suggest that you review some aspects of your puppy’s life:
For your pet, you are the center of your universe, show him that you love him and that it feels good by your side.
Your dog’s name: A very common mistake is that the dog has linked your name to something bad.Why? Because every time you do something wrong, you call it and scold it, there’s the mistake.Link the word “no” or repress to the fact that you’ve done something wrong.You don’t need to say his name, just with the word “no” and your tone of voice, he’ll understand it perfectly.
To find the positive relationship with your name, do this
