1、 Body language, when touching the dog, pay attention to:
1. Don't touch down from behind suddenly, which will surprise most dogs and arouse their orientation instinct.
2. Don't press your hand down on the dog from above the head. This will also cause them to be very nervous.
3. The position of the stroke is also very important, and the most acceptable is the stroke of the back and head and neck.
2、 Eye contact is as important to dogs as eye contact. Problems of visual communication:
1. In daily life, if it is not to emphasize the dominant position of the master, it is better not to stare at the dog all the time, which will make it feel confused and uneasy.
2. If you look at the dog in the opposite direction, you'd better not take the initiative to turn your eyes away. This will lead it to misunderstand its position and think that it is above its master.
3、 Words, the content of words has no meaning for dogs. Notes on tone:
1. Clarity of tone is very important for dogs to understand correctly. Think twice before you speak, and communicate with it in the most appropriate tone.
2. When communicating with dogs, the sentences must not be too long and not too complicated. Dogs can only understand simple and clear sentences.
4、 Rewards and punishments:
1. The reward content can be the dog's favorite food, favorite toy, a little caress or just a compliment.
2. The timing of rewards is important. If you just want to establish a good relationship with the dog, you don't need to consider the timing too much. However, if you want to guide the dog to establish a certain habit, you'd better reward it immediately within 3 seconds after it makes the correct behavior to get the best effect.
3. Rewards should not spread. It is better to fix one or two toys or snacks for rewards only occasionally.
4. The content of punishment should be verbal and harsh. If it is not too strong, the dog will understand.
5. The use of corporal punishment is not encouraged. Like children, there are many dogs who will react negatively to pain, which can easily backfire.
