Have you ever seen the delightful appearance of dogs bowing and bowing? Every Chinese New Year, there are always news reports of dogs bowing and begging for red envelopes, so people can’t help but wrap up an extra small red envelope for their dogs for the New Year. Do you also want your dog to have such a skill? In fact, this training is not difficult, as long as your dog knows the basic sit down command, you will soon be able to learn. Training steps 1. let the dog stand first start with the dog standing on all fours. This is generally not difficult. But for the very obedient dog but a little difficult, because some pet owners in the training of dogs, give the dog rewards, usually let the dog first sit, so it will be good to sit down once you see the snacks. 2. with snacks to make the dog amble take snacks near the tip of the dog’s nose, slowly move down, close to the dog’s body. Hold a snack or toy so it can see it, but don’t let it eat the snack. Wave it slightly if necessary to make sure it notices. Give the dog a distance that feels like it can eat but can’t, so you can use the snack to lure the dog to the ground until it puts its elbows on the floor and stands upright on its hind legs. At this point the owner’s other hand can lightly press the dog’s body and ask it to put its front half down on the ground, or use the leash to prompt the dog. 3. return to standing put the dog on the ground for a few seconds, then lure it back to standing with a treat. 4. reward the dog for a bow once the dog has finished bowing and stood up, give the dog a reward. Repeat this process several times. 5. Add the verbal command Once the dog understands the action, you can add the verbal command “bow” before going down again. Practice the bowing command with your dog several times a day for no more than five minutes at a time, and your dog will gradually understand the bowing command. Some dogs have difficulty learning the bowing skill all at once. You can teach him to start with a relatively small bow, and step by step, you can strengthen his understanding of the bowing command. You need to start rewarding your dog for moving in the right direction. Training a dog to do any new skill requires patience, for both you and the dog. If your dog seems to lose interest in training, it’s time to take a break and try again tomorrow. Never hit your dog or yell at him when you are trying to train him a new skill, or he will just lose interest. What to do when the owner brings out a snack and the dog is focused on the snack instead of listening to your commands? Show your dog the treat, then put the treat in your pocket or behind your back, and if your dog still can’t focus on you, call his name. What should I do if my dog just stands up and eats the snack? The dog will enjoy the snack, that’s all he wants. But unless the dog executes the command correctly, the only thing to do is to push the dog away or put the treat away and don’t let him eat it. Put the snack down so the dog lowers its head, but how can you get your dog’s butt up? Lower the snack while gently pushing the dog’s bottom to let the dog know you want it to do so. Note when training remember to be patient with yourself and your dog. All dogs learn differently, keep training sessions short and always in a positive way, and give your dog enthusiastic praise or treats when he completes a command. Most dogs will get it quickly, especially if they have been trained before, and after a few practice sessions the dog will bow. After that, it’s just a matter of having the dog perform the bow when you find the opportunity, and each performance will continue to reinforce the command.
