“Articulation” is the foundation of many disciplines, and many reward dogs require training in this area. The Border Collie also needs fetch training, as he is the star of the Frisbee competition, so naturally fetch training is a fundamental part of his training. So how do you train a Border Collie to fetch? One: Train your Border Collie to develop the conditioned reflexes of “articulate” and “spit” commands. Choose a quiet place to avoid having other things affect the Border Collie’s attention. Choose an object that is likely to excite the Border Collie (such as a toy that he likes). Second: Hold the object in your right hand, shake it a few times in front of the Border Collie to get its attention, then throw the object 1-2 meters away and immediately give the “link” command. “command. If the border collie holds the item, immediately verbally encourage it “great” and other words, and pet its head. Three: let the border collie hold the object for about 30 seconds, then issue the “spit” command, the owner then the object, give the border collie food reward, so repeated training, let the border collie form the “articulation”, “spit” command conditioned reflex. The Border Collie can be trained repeatedly so that the Border Collie can form the conditioned reflexes of the “articulate” and “spit” commands. The above is the method of training the border collie to hold objects, after the above three steps repeated practice, I believe it will soon be able to learn to hold objects. However, when training, you need to pay attention to the time of each training is not easy too long, probably each training time control within 15 minutes, so as to avoid the Border Collie boredom training the project.
