Dog handler is also called a guide in foreign countries.

Generally speaking, a dog handler is not only the person who takes the dog to the competition, but also an excellent dog trainer and an excellent dog groomer.

Among these skills of dog handlers, dog training is both the most basic and the most important.

A dog, if you want to participate in the competition and get good results, must first receive strict and standardized training, and grow from a disorderly state to a dog that knows how to follow instructions.

Therefore, the dog handler must understand a certain dog language and understand the psychological and emotional changes of the dog.

And this point, for the current Yang Mu, there is no difficulty at all.

It's the same for people, it's also for dogs.

So when Mi Li took out the leash and hung it around his neck, he didn't resist despite some reluctance.

He knows that on the playing field, in the interaction between humans and dogs, the leash is the link between the two.

From the feeling of feeling, it is still a little uncomfortable, after all, he used to lead the dog, and now he is being led.

Mi Li smoothly led the two "dogs" downstairs.

The so-called walking training is actually part of the dog's obedience training.

In addition to the appearance of the dog itself, it requires the dog to obey the instructions of the dog handler and show the best side of the dog to the referee and the audience.

Therefore, it is very important for the dog participating in the competition to be able to understand the handler and obey it.

The first step to determine is whether these two dogs can understand the basic dog training commands.

Try it and find out.

Mi Li walked around the community with two dogs, and she suddenly gave an order: "Stop." ”

This is the most commonly used Chinese command in dog training.

She found that as soon as this order came out, Lao Hei immediately stopped.

This shows that Lao Hei is indeed well-trained.

But to Mi Li's regret, the prince kept walking forward until his neck was tightened by the tow rope, and then he stopped.

Oh my god, the prince didn't respond to the command!

Could it be that it is familiar with the English instructions?

Then try again.

Mi Li led the two dogs forward again, and then suddenly gave the command: "STAY."

She saw that Lao Hei stopped again, but the prince still didn't react, until his neck was strangled by the towrope again, and then he stopped, and looked at the rice grain with strange eyes.

You stupid dog, you don't respond to the command at all, and you're embarrassed to look at me!

Mi Li couldn't help but roar inwardly.

She kind of wanted to give up.

A dog that has not been trained at all, even if he hires a skilled dog handler, may not be able to teach the prince the necessary instructions and make him proficient in such a short time.

However, this is her first chance to take a big order, is it okay to just give up?

No!

Mi Li decided to try again.

For an untrained dog, the correct way to train it to follow and stop is to cooperate with the leash and commands.

"Lao Hei, I'll let you go first, follow me, don't run around!"

Trainers are trained to follow on a leash, and the handler can only target one dog at a time.

This is a last resort.

According to the general practice of international dog competitions, the dog handler must lead the dog with his left hand, and in order for the dog to participate in the competition, it must be trained according to the norms.

Next, Mi Li experienced the difficulty of training.

It is a very difficult process for an untrained dog to go from ignorance to understanding, accepting, and obeying instructions.

Take the prince, for example.

Because it had never been trained, it did not respond to professional instructions at all, even with the help of a leash.

The biggest headache for Mi Li is that although the prince reacts to the movements of the tow rope, these reactions are all irregular.

For example, if it is a properly trained dog, if the dog handler gently pulls the leash back during walking, and the dog's collar tightens, the dog should stop immediately.

But the prince's reaction was not like this.

When the rice grain pulled the leash back, the prince would rush forward in turn, until his neck was tightened and his front paws were lifted, and he could not move, then he stopped and looked at the rice grain suspiciously.

Such a reaction is not as good as not having one!

But the rice grains are not dead.

She cooperated with the leash through the command again and again, trying to make the prince form a conditioned reflex to the action of the command and the leash, but unfortunately, countless attempts failed to achieve good results.

This is where the hard part of dog training comes in.

It's really hard to get a dog into training right from the start.

Yang Mu, who had been accompanying him, couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to help the young lady.

When Mi Li shouted the command "stop" again as he marched with the prince, he immediately stopped, let out a short, low bark, and exerted coercion.

The prince was stunned for a moment, then immediately stopped obediently and looked at Yang Mu suspiciously.

Yang Mu immediately stepped forward and touched the prince's head with his paw as a reward.

Mi Li was stunned by this scene again.

The prince actually listened to the old black? And the old black knew how to reward the prince for the correct reaction?

It's incredible, isn't it?

"Lao Hei, did you do it? Can you do it again?"

Yang Mu gave Mi Li a disapproving expression.

Do it again and do it again, what's so hard about it!

The rice grains tried a few more times.

And so it turned out.

As soon as she gave the command, the old black screamed, and the prince immediately stopped, and then stood there obediently, waiting for the old black to touch its head.

"Oh my God, how did you do that?" Mi Li couldn't help but ask.

In her opinion, if the old black could help her in this way, the prince would soon be able to form a conditioned reflex to her commands and movements.

In this way, she doesn't need to hire a senior dog handler at all, and with Lao Hei's cooperation, she can easily complete the pre-race training for the prince herself.

And it's much more efficient.

Yang Mu disagreed.

The reason why the prince did not respond to Miri's command was because he had never learned, and it took time for a dog to train to understand human language.

But the dog language is different.

Every dog is born and as long as there are other dogs around it, it immediately learns to start learning and slowly turns it into instinct.

Therefore, the prince could not understand Mi Li's instructions, but he could easily understand Yang Mu's dog language.

Mi Li's interest came, and she said to Yang Mu: "Lao Hei, try another command, is it okay?"

Try it, just try it.

"Sit. Mi Li tried to give a new command.

There was another slightly different low bark, and Yang Mu once again released his coercion.

The prince was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Mu.

Yang Mu sat down with a demonstration.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and quickly sat down.

Mi Li was stunned.

Damn, it's a little too easy to train a dog like this!

She couldn't believe it, and gave a new order: "UP." ”

As a result, the prince also stood up under the demonstration of Lao Hei.

Rice grain ecstasy.

Rich, rich!

Hurry up and contact the prince's mother and talk to her about the price!
