Your pet already understands the basic commands and now it's time to expand your repertoire of canine tricks. Training together can be a fun experience for both you and your pet. They give a chance to tighten bonds and discover something new. We will show you how to teach your four-legged friend the "turn" command in a few simple steps.
Before you start training, you should be aware that not all tricks are appropriate for every dog. Although the vast majority of pets show a willingness to play and learn, some age, health, weight, size and body build make it impossible to practice certain canine tricks. In addition, just like humans, dogs also have individual tastes, temperaments and predispositions that must be taken into account. For example, if you have noticed that your pet does not like lying on its back, you should refrain from learning to roll. And if he doesn't like jumping, training in catching delicacies in the air or learning how to jump over obstacles should be postponed.
The basic requirement for friendly training is, above all, that you have fun exercising together. In a joyful, open, friendly atmosphere, achieving success in learning is easier and much faster. Training for your pet should be associated only with a pleasant experience and positive emotions. Coercion or harshness in this situation are completely undesirable. Therefore, careful, patient and consistent behavior is key. Always practice step by step and respect the pace of the student's learning. Don't give up if your dog doesn't cooperate right away, it happens that a beloved dog will need more time to understand what you expect from him.
Careful observation of your pet and proper assessment of its behavior play a huge role in learning the rotation command. If you notice that your dog has lost motivation, it is best to stop training immediately. Over time, it will become easier for you to choose the optimal length of your training session. In addition, motivating a four-legged friend to learn requires mutual trust, reliability and clear instructions. This includes practicing small tricks such as responding to a spin command.
In order for your pet to understand and learn which behavior is appropriate and beneficial, the reward should always be direct. The dog functions in the present and always relates the owner's reaction to the current situation. Besides, he usually chooses the path that promises him the greatest success. Therefore, this "thirst for reward" is worth using in the training of the turn command. Positive reinforcement in the form of treats, cuddling, petting, verbal praise speeds up the learning process and helps train a happy dog. It is also important that the mentee always ends the training session with a feeling of success. If you find that the next stage of the exercise is too much for your four-legged friend, it is better to take a step back to the stage that he performs reliably. Reward him and only then finish the exercise. The pet will be happy with a job well done.
Before you start learning the turn command, make sure the student has mastered the basic commands such as sit, down, or go down. Make sure it is time to start training together. Your dog should not be tired or hungry, and you should also give him at least an hour to digest after a meal. Healthy, refreshed and full, he will certainly participate in the training with greater enthusiasm.
If your pet does not want to turn around, you can do the exercise with him.
Take into account that some dogs learn quickly and others have learning difficulties. In this case, be patient and teach your pet to rotate only in one direction at first. Only when your four-legged friend has mastered turning left, for example, you can teach him to turn the other way in the same way.
The Russian Terrier is usually associated with a prudent intellectual with a developed defensive instinct and a reserved character. It represents a breed of utility dogs bred by Soviet breeders.

She definitely prefers spending time on the move rather than lying on her lap. He is known for his beautiful figure, his high intelligence and good condition. His willingness to learn and his cheerful disposition make him an ideal companion dog, a very grateful and willingly cooperative partner.
International Dog Day is a celebration of all dogs, mixed breed and purebred. The day was established in 2004 and is celebrated around the world on August 26. In our country, however, we celebrate Dog Day on the XNUMXst of July. Both world and national celebrations have one universal goal - honoring man's best friend, a devoted, faithful companion.
