REWARD TRAINING: A GOOD WAY TO TRAIN YOUR SHITZU
Reward training has indeed been used for many years to train Shitzus; it is a good method to teach dogs of a small size like Shitzus that are too small to act in response to choke collars and other insensitive techniques of training. Reward training is a training method used to teach dogs everything from house training to police and military work. Reward training is used in the training of dogs for films and advertisements. But you do not have to have a police dog or movie star to use reward training – it is a great method to use to train your Shitzu fundamental obedience instructions. As the name suggests, reward training utilizes some kind reward. In general an especialy favorite treat, but even appreciation and a few strokes on the head can be taken as a reward by your dog. After all, your attention is one of you dogs most precious treats. By using rewards, you can teach your Shitzu to do almost everything. You just have to abide by a set of methods to get your dog to carry out the wanted job and then reward him exactly after. So if you want your dog to be taught to sit, you may dangle the treat on top of his head and move it towards the back until he sits on his own - all the while say the command “sit” then when he has sat down, commend him and reward him. Soon enough he will relate the word “sit” with the action of sitting along with the following reward. Clicker training can used along with reward training if you would like your Shitzu to do as he is told without using spoken instructions. The dog is trained to connect a clicking sound with the reward. The trainer snaps the clicker when the dog does something good, followed right away by a treat. In due course, your Shitzu learns to act in response to the clicker only. Reward training can be used to train your Shitzu difficult actions if you have the time and endurance. In many situations, the teaching makes use of a decoy to get your dog into the spot preferred. This decoy makes your dog to do the “trick” of his own free will. Once your Shitzu has carried out the action he is given the reward. This is a good method to make your dog to do something without being handled by the trainer and is used a lot in the entertainment industry. When teaching your dog, it is vital to make certain he will pay notice to your instructions when there are other disruptions about and not just when the two of you are on your own in the house. You have to make out that your dog will comply with you with disruptions as this can be one of the most significant times for him to pay attention to your instructions since complying with you can be what places between your pet and some type of peril. Once you have practiced an instruction at home - take your pet to the park or other locale where there will be disruptions and put into practice the instruction until he learns to abide by you in public as well as in private.
