Dogs are gregarious animals, afraid of their own leaders and trying to protect their companions. After entering human life, they obey the orders of the head of the family: the hostess feeds and takes care of it, and the children play with it; He is awed by the people who spend the least time at home. On the other hand, if the hostess is dignified and guides the whole family, she will also obey the hostess completely. He is afraid, even of people taller than him, people as tall as him or younger than him. On the contrary, dogs will have a strong desire for protection because of curiosity. So there is a saying that dogs look down on people.
Dogs are naturally gregarious. In kennels, rural or suburban dog crowds, there is always a head dog who leads the dogs and will dominate and rule them. The leader position of the head dog is usually shown by the following specific actions: for example, allow yourself but not the other dog to check the genitals of other dogs, and don't pee where the other dog has peed. Opponents can wag their heads and tail, be naughty, sit or lie down in front of the head dog, and stop when the head dog leaves. After the rank advantage was clear, the hostility disappeared and they began to become friends. Therefore, the owner should erect the image of the head dog, and don't be too spoiled to make the dog think that he is a head dog.
-dogs have a strong sense of territory and are used to peeing to mark their "sphere of influence". In its field, it can be very arrogant, but once it reaches a strange place, especially where cats and dogs smell strong, it has no courage. This is common when it approaches the animal hospital. It refuses to move forward, or it is so nervous that it even drools. So it often takes itself as the center, marks the boundary with its own smell, and updates frequently. A territory can only belong to one or two dogs or the whole dog group.
Dogs often bark whenever ambulances and police cars pass by. Barking is a way that wolves often contact their companions. As an instinct, dogs also inherit this feature. So it's not surprising when you hear whose dog will "sing" to the music. But not all dogs bark, and there are some exceptions.
After spending more than 10,000 years with human beings, dogs have fully integrated into our lives. It is precisely because of our close relationship with dogs that people often have a wrong idea-we often use human thoughts to explain the dog's behavioral motives, while ignoring the dog's unique and distinctive thinking mode; Because of this wrong idea, there are many problems in our communication, discipline and training of dogs. Do you know what your dog is thinking? How do I feel about you? Only by understanding the thinking mode of dogs can we enter their inner world and further establish a correct relationship with them.
Dogs don't compare and judge their own lives, and they don't care about their owners' identity, status, occupation and wealth. We dress them up beautifully and feed them the best and most expensive food, which only meets the inner needs of their owners. Moreover, over-indulged dogs often confuse the relationship with their owners, thus challenging their leadership and causing various problems. Dogs act by intuition and experience and live in nature. People are judged by morality and value and live in a perceptual world; Therefore, when we correct the wrong behavior of dogs, we can't convince them with human ethics, let alone negotiate with them. On the contrary, we must stop it immediately by clear and direct means. Only in this way can we make them clearly realize their mistakes. Dogs that correct wrong behaviors are animals that live in the present, and we can't understand the thinking logic of human causality. Therefore, when it makes a mistake, we must punish it immediately. Only in this way can we make it associate punishment with wrong behavior. And we must have a consistent attitude to make it meet our expectations, [sometimes, sometimes not; You can do it after hours, but you can't do it when you grow up. It will make dogs feel puzzled and at a loss. Therefore, the attitude towards dog training must be cultivated and implemented from an early age, and there must be no slack.

All animals rely on telepathy to transmit information, especially dogs, such as:
(1) If you have a premonition before an earthquake or volcanic eruption, running around and barking outside is to remind you to prepare early.
(2) extrasensory perception can also dominate its recognition direction, and it can still find its way home in a distant place, even after several years.
(3) When a trained dog performs a task, it can analyze the meaning of the owner's command and play a good role without even waiting for the owner to complete a simple action or finish a sentence.
This phenomenon is reflected in the excellent training effect obtained by a trainer. In the same activity, there is an unexplained attraction between dogs and people-extrasensory. Moreover, its connection with other wild animals also has its own unique way of transmission. He is jealous of cats, but through various expressions and training, dogs can understand their owners' love for cats and live in harmony.

The dog's sense of smell is mainly manifested in two aspects, one is its sensitivity to odor, and the other is its ability to distinguish odor. Its sense of smell is the highest of all animals-its sensitivity to acidic substances is tens of thousands of times higher than that of humans. The olfactory receptor organ of dogs is called olfactory mucosa, which is located in the upper part of the nasal cavity and has many wrinkles on its surface, which is about four times as large as that of humans. The olfactory cells in the olfactory mucosa are real olfactory receptors, with more than 200 million, 40 times that of human beings.
-Its ability to detect odor is 6,543.8+0,000 times or even 6,543.8+0,000 times that of human beings, and its ability to distinguish odor is 6,543.8+0,000 times that of human beings. A police dog can distinguish more than 6.5438+0000 different smells. It can identify the owner, the same sex, the estrus state, the mother and offspring, and the road and direction. According to its olfactory information. Smell it a few times before making a decision. If you meet a stranger, you always turn around and smell it. Sometimes it's creepy. And it can tell when, who comes from and where to go according to the smell on the street corner. People use this skill to serve mankind.
Dogs have poor eyesight. The lens of their eyes is twice as thick as that of humans, so they are nearsighted. Their eye accommodation ability is only 1/5- 1/3 of human. They can see things clearly within 50 meters, but they can't see clearly beyond this distance. However, the moving target can feel the distance of 825 meters. It has a wide field of vision, and the left and right vision of one eye is 65438. The upper visual field is 50-70 degrees. The lower visual field is 30-60 degrees. It can see the object in front of it most clearly, and it is color blind. Guide dogs can distinguish traffic lights because the brightness of the two lights is different. This dog has a good eye for gray shadows. With this ability, it can distinguish the changes of light and shade on objects and produce stereoscopic visual images. Stranger still, this kind of dog is sensitive to dark vision, even in low light.

Dogs can distinguish extremely small and high-frequency sounds, and they also have a strong ability to judge sound sources. Its hearing is 16 times that of human. When dogs hear sounds, they can see and hear all directions with their eyes because of the sympathetic action of their ears and eyes. At night, they remain highly alert even when sleeping. Can clearly distinguish the sound within the radius of 1km. Even more incredible, it can distinguish that the metronome vibrates 96 times or 100 times per minute, 133 times per minute and 144 times per minute. For human passwords and simple languages, dogs can establish conditioned reflex according to the change of pitch and syllable. In particular, there is no need to yell at the dog, the voice is too high or.
Dogs are carnivores. Their teeth are sharp and strong, which can cut off food. The pressure between the upper and lower teeth can reach 165 kg, but it is not good at chewing and almost swallowing. Its taste is located on the tongue, and the stomach secretes gastric juice due to olfactory stimulation. Because there are more eggplant instruments in the dog's muzzle that humans don't have, the taste is slow. It doesn't taste food by chewing slowly. Mainly by the dual role of smell and taste. Therefore, when preparing food for dogs, special attention should be paid to the conditioning of smells. The hydrochloric acid content in the gastric juice of dogs is the highest among domestic animals. Hydrochloric acid can make protein swell and denature, so dogs have strong digestion ability for protein. They can completely expel food from their stomachs within 5-7 hours after eating, but dogs have poor digestion ability of crude fiber. Therefore, they should chop up vegetables before feeding them to dogs.
All kinds of knowledge [essence] about keeping dogs.
1. How to train dogs not to eat indiscriminately?
Pica refers to dogs consciously ingesting some non-food substances, such as stones, rubber and feces. Dogs with this behavior are not only extremely unsanitary, but also may cause gastrointestinal diseases by these foreign bodies, and it is also very easy to eat deadly poisons such as rat poison by mistake.
The reason for this behavior may be that the body lacks certain substances, such as vitamins and inorganic salts.
Correction method:
(1) Heterophilia caused by nutritional deficiency can be corrected by supplementing nutrition.
(2) Through careful observation and analysis, we should find out the causes and laws of heterophilia with unknown reasons, such as the types of heterophilia and the heterophilia under what circumstances, and take corresponding measures to correct it.
(3) In the case of nutritional heterotopia, the lack of nutrients should be supplemented first, and non-nutritional heterotopia can be corrected by punishment. The direct punishment is to bring the alien to the dog. Dogs will be scolded, beaten and taken away when they eat. Later, heterophilia will move to dogs. If you want to eat again, you will be punished until the dog stops eating. Some dogs are scared by their owners' punishment, so they dare not take them when they are away, and they may return to their original state when they are away. At this time, the method of indirect punishment should be adopted, that is, the dog will feel spicy and uncomfortable after eating it, and dare not eat any more. It can also be corrected with a water gun, that is, the owner takes several water guns and hides them in a hidden place. When he found that the dog was going to swallow different food, he sprayed water on the dog, which frightened the dog and ran away. After a few repetitions, the dog will overcome heterosexuality. But be careful not to let the dog see the action of spraying water and think of the punishment of the owner, but to let the dog think that it is caused by its feeding behavior.
For other abnormal behaviors, dog owners can correct them according to the above principles and methods.

2. Ways to eradicate bad habits
Eat whatever you see.
Some dogs bite everything they see, whether it's slippers or newspapers, magazines, tables and chairs. In fact, this is just a manifestation of dog curiosity. Its ancestors survived by hunting in the wild. The love of biting everything you can find comes from its playful behavior of exploring instinct and hunting nature.
Puppies may bite and stop itching because of itchy roots during the tooth changing period from primary teeth to permanent teeth. No matter what the reason, when dogs are found to bite things indiscriminately, they should immediately stop them with their hands and reprimand them. At the same time, consider buying some dog chewing gum or toys for them to bite.
When the stop still fails to achieve the goal, you can gently hit it a few times to show corporal punishment. When it stops biting, don't forget to praise it in time.
When dogs think that they can't please their owners because of lack of rough look, they may also chew things indiscriminately because of venting depression. At this time, his master should reflect on himself.
Lick and pounce
When family members come back from outside, dogs often pounce on them and make out, which is the happiest way for dogs to express their happiness. However, it may dirty the clothes of family members or hurt people. The way to avoid this situation is to give the next "squat" password before the dog comes near, and then people can squat down to the position where the dog's head is almost high, and say "OK, OK" while touching it to show that they are also very happy.
You can also reach out and squeeze its front legs or gently step on its hind paws before the dog jumps into its arms. These are the sensitive parts where dogs are most likely to feel pain, which can remind dogs not to pester them in the future.
Likes to pounce on people
This is also a way for dogs to show intimacy, but when there are children at home, it is easy to cause children to be scratched or fall. If you want to establish feelings between children and dogs, you can let the children reach out and touch the dog when there are adults, and then when the dog is about to pounce on the fight, gently issue a "wait a minute" password to stop it. After the disaster is repeated several times, the dog can learn not to move when the child touches it.
Corrective methods for yelling at strangers
Dogs often bark at people who are far away or walk into the house, which is a response to tell the group (that is, family members) that they should take preventive measures as soon as possible. At this time, you can't just shout a few times. You must go to Jing's side to observe the situation with him and teach him not to worry. You can close his mouth with your hand when you stop him, and then gently touch him with your other hand. When the dog hears the stop command, it will stop making noise and approach its owner for caress.
How to let the dog know what room can't be entered?
Some dogs are repeatedly prevented from entering rooms that should not be entered, such as kitchens and bookstores, but they always forget. When they approach the room, they will slam the door at the tip of their nose. So the sound of closing the door can scare him, and the dog won't dare to enter the room again.
Even dogs whose families dare to bite are used to it.
Some dogs even dare to bite their families when they feel unhappy, which is the habit of their owners. The reason is to make it feel that its position is above people. Therefore, strict education should be carried out at the beginning of raising a dog, and from the first day, we must firmly remember that people's status will always be above it.
3. Train the dog to go to the toilet regularly
For a long time, in every family that does not actively train dogs to urinate, it is not difficult to see the picture of their owners being crazy because of "peanuts", and the problem of dogs going to the toilet has become a pain in many owners' hearts.
When the dog goes to the toilet at will, the ungrateful owner will not think about what is the demand behind the dog's behavior and how to solve it. Instead, I will face it in the quickest and simplest way I think, that is, "take out the family law" and hit it with a stick, so that the dog will not be beaten again because of fear. However, corporal punishment can not only prevent dogs from urinating where you want, but also lead to other behavioral deviations.
Dogs' memory and thinking patterns are very simple. He will reasonably associate his behavior with the people, things, smells and scenes that appear now. When a dog randomly defecates and you don't catch him at the moment of "flagrante delicto", he will never understand that it was his defecation that made you so angry a long time ago. In his eyes, you are just a master who beats him inexplicably. As a result, he didn't learn well, and your relationship alienated. Corporal punishment is really not a good way to correct it.
In fact, it is not difficult to educate your dog to go to the toilet regularly. With the owner's living habits and living environment, you can train a way to relieve yourself. The most important educational concept is your love for dogs and patience in the training process, which can make your dogs learn quickly and well. If you can't even do the most basic love and patience yourself, how can you blame the dog's shit at home?
Train dogs to go to the toilet regularly.
Everyone is asking, "How on earth does a dog go to the toilet regularly? In fact, before asking this question, you should look back at your own living habits and your living environment, and then decide when and where you want your dog to get used to defecating every day.
For example, the average office worker will not be at home during office hours. If you are worried that the dog will urinate anywhere in the house when its owner is away, then you should make it get into the habit of fixing before and after going to work in the morning. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate which fixed point in the home is most suitable for dogs to go to the toilet, perhaps the bathroom, balcony, yard … even when walking. After successful training, the dog will automatically excrete in the same place. Isn't this a wonderful thing?
Before training, you should also understand the dog's physiological habits and psychological emotions. As long as you master the dog's physical and mental state, you can complete the training work faster, and it is quite natural and stress-free. Then according to your living habits and living environment, with the following indoor and outdoor urination training program, you will soon find that dogs are really good companions of "ice snow cleverness".
@ Physical and psychological, do both.
Dogs are not born to go to the toilet at nine o'clock every morning, so please stay with them at the beginning to help them remember the time and place to go to the toilet. There are two ways to help him remember, one is heartfelt obedience, and the other is physiological habit. Next, let's look at how to go hand in hand from two aspects, so that dogs can practice martial arts quickly and well.
-Dear Mom and Dad, please help me feel comfortable!
Whether you need to go to work or not, you can't accompany him every day, waiting for his natural liberation. Therefore, in the process of training your dog to urinate regularly, you must find ways to let him go to the toilet while you are with him, so that you can give your dog warm encouragement at the first time.
When he first started training, of course he wouldn't say, "Shit!" I really pulled it out. I can only start with the pipeline of animal physiological reaction and easily complete natural defecation.
Because dogs are more likely to want to go to the toilet soon after eating. So you just need to take your dog to the same place for "standby" after every meal 10 ~ 20 minutes (the length of time can be observed after catching the dog's habits), and you will be encouraged as soon as you have the intention of liberation. Over time, he will know that "going to the toilet after dinner+somewhere = the owner is happy" and be praised. In the future, he will "take the initiative" to go to the designated place where you often take him to the toilet after dinner.
Dear mom and dad, please give me a round of applause!
Beating and cursing may make the dog afraid to make mistakes in front of you, but there is no guarantee that he will not defecate everywhere after you turn around. What's more, often beating and cursing will make the dog's character timid and insecure, make the dog brought up by education unhappy at all, and you will be less glorious as a master.
The dog who just came to your house may not understand your password at all, nor can he observe your expression, but he can tell the ups and downs of your voice. You can tell him in a harsher tone that it is wrong to urinate at home (flagrante delicto) ("No!") Or "no! ) Then take him to the place where you want him to pee before his liberation.
In the future, whenever he excretes at a designated place, you should encourage him in a positive tone and say, "Great ~ ~ Oh! Good ~ ~ girls (boys)! " , or give him a little satisfaction. Repeatedly harsh tone to stop, coupled with the tone of praise and encouragement, he will remember where to pee and where not.
But don't forget that dogs learn by associative memory, so the above stop and encouragement must be carried out at the first time when dogs make actions. Moreover, memory learning takes a certain time to cultivate, not a day or two, and the owners should be patient!
Train dogs to go to the toilet regularly.
@ Winning bid: Indoor training saves time and trouble.
Both newborn dogs and adult dogs need toilet training when they come to a new environment. And this training should start from the indoor environment where dogs live. Including arranging a comfortable nest for him and giving him a fixed place to go to the toilet.
Among them, the training of puppies will be more difficult, just like newborns need diapers. Because the puppy's organs have not yet developed, it is even more uncontrollable when playing, and the tacit understanding between you and him has not yet been established. Therefore, continuous patience and loving teaching and encouragement is the best education method.
If you are away from home for a long time and can't take your dog out for a walk regularly, you can choose to let him go to the toilet in a place where it is easier to clean at home. Indoor toilet training can be successfully completed by a simple auxiliary tool-newspaper.
@ Winning bid: pee while walking.
It is also an excellent opportunity for the owner to take the dog out for a walk every day. Because dogs prefer to go to the toilet when they are active. Moreover, dogs naturally like to occupy territory and wish to be liberated.
As long as you can take him out for a walk at the same time every day, he will naturally get used to solving the problem of defecation outside. Although it is convenient for dogs to urinate freely outside, the most important finishing work is still to be done. No matter what method and equipment you use, don't forget to pick up the "gold" and take it away after the dog is liberated, leaving a clean road environment for everyone.
@ Every family has a talented dog baby.
The problem of defecation is really not big, but it is not small. But because the puppy suddenly rebelled and urinated everywhere, the whole family turned upside down and even abandoned their pets. Many owners don't know that the dog's defecation problem can be solved by teaching, but by beating and cursing blindly. The result is that dogs are suspicious and can't even learn personality changes.
Don't think that other people's dogs are geniuses, and their own problems will be solved by themselves. After reading this teaching report, do you suddenly realize that dogs are really smart, but we humans are too stupid? As long as you spend love and patience training, every family has a talented dog baby!
4. Don't give your pet cannibal food.
Although pets and people need the same nutrition, in the long years of feeding, they gradually formed a diet suitable for their digestive system, tissues and organs. Cats and dogs are carnivores with short intestines. Cats and dogs can digest and absorb 90%-95% of protein in animals' fresh meat and viscera, but only 60%-80% of protein. Humans are omnivores, and the gastrointestinal tract can easily absorb meat, grains and vegetables. Humans can digest and absorb 95% of protein in soybean powder or soybean milk.
In addition, pets need high-protein food. Cats also need taurine, and they can't synthesize enough arachidonic acid, can't synthesize vitamin PP with tryptophan, and can't convert β -carotene into vitamin A. Humans have no special requirements or defects in this respect, so even if it is good food for humans, it may not be good food for pets.
5. How to train dogs to bark?
In order to fix the collar, you need to tie a 20-foot dog chain around its neck. If there is no leash, you can use a thin cloth or a blind leash instead. Give it a bite of the delicious food in your pocket. Shorten the leash, hold one end in your hand and tell its name to go away from it. He ordered the dog to gently pull the belt in a calm and decisive tone and said, "Luo Ou, come here!" " If not, repeat this sequence and continue to pull the slack part of the belt. Pull it over and say in a happy tone, "obedient Luo Ou." Reward it with a bite of food and caress it.
Let go of the leash this time and repeat this sequence eight to ten times. If possible, train three times a day. Two or three days later, you and I called it, and it came automatically. Your purpose is to teach it its own name and the meaning of "come here". In general obedience training, you can use the following gestures: gently lift your right hand, extend your palm upward and forward, and then forcefully retract your arm and put it on your body, with the palm end resting on your left shoulder.
6. How to train dogs to follow?
There are many different ways to follow the dog chain correctly. Lead him on a leash and call him "Let the dog go". Following means moving forward in a reasonable posture. When the dog walks, it is close to your heel, with its nose parallel to your knees, its head upright and its posture warm. It doesn't pull left and right, nor does it pull back and forth. The pace should always suit your pace.
When the dog is walking with a leash, your right hand holds most of the leash, pull the dog to the left, and control it with your left hand. If necessary, you can shorten or lengthen the leash. Say happily and clearly, "Luo Ou, go!" When you take out your left foot, don't look at it, indicating that it should walk quickly beside you. If it doesn't do this, pull it back with your left hand and loosen the belt immediately. Every time you repeat "follow", you don't need to pull it or drag it back to its original position. It's useless. But to pull it urgently to make it uncomfortable, so that it will soon know that if it walks incorrectly, it will be pulled. When pulling, let it know. If it goes wrong, it will be pulled. When pulling, pull in the opposite direction, not straight. If it goes forward, you pull back; If it contradicts backwards, you pull forward. When you walk in the right position and take the lead, you will hear the jingle of its collar. Some trainers use a small stick or branch as a reminder. When it pulls forward hard, it doesn't need whipping, just patting its nose.
If necessary, keep walking, keep pulling, and keep repeating: "Follow". And often pat the left leg to hint and help it. Every time I return to my original position, I will be praised and rewarded. If it is still small, a good way is to gently touch its nose with its left hand and scratch its chin.
Another way to practice is to walk against the wall. Every time it hits you, push it against the wall to stop it.
When you stop, order it to "sit down" and let it sit next to your left foot. Soon it will automatically sit like this without any orders.
7. Maintenance of dog teeth
Teeth are important tools for dogs to chew and chew food, especially hard bones. Like human teeth, when food residues or debris are stored in teeth, bacteria will multiply in teeth, causing dental caries or gingivitis, which will affect the appetite and digestive ability of dogs. Therefore, it is necessary to check the dog's teeth regularly or irregularly and deal with the problems in time. Methods: Dip a wet cotton ball into tooth powder (don't give toothpaste to people, dogs don't like that taste) to remove dental calculus. Generally, dogs can be brushed 1 time a week. In addition, it is necessary to feed the dog bones frequently, which can not only satisfy the dog's desire to chew things, but also achieve the purpose of grinding teeth and fixing teeth.
