Introduction
The dog has been a friend and companion animal for many people over a long period of history. At the same time, it is possible to work with the dog and train it to perform certain actions necessary for the owner. In order to teach a dog to bring a newspaper, when the owner can not do it, the best approaches are through punishment or encouragement.
Learning Through a Simple Subject
A standard practice with a format in which the dog first needs to bring toys, such as a ball, can be effective for training. In the future, the ball can be replaced with the necessary item being the newspaper. At the same time, for the application of classical conditioning in associative learning, it is important to have an association with rewarding after the execution of the command.
Promotion
In the process of training, the trainer influences the behavior of the dog and changes it in the desired direction. The behavior of a trained dog is controlled by the trainer, who induces the dog with his signals, including commands and gestures, to perform certain actions. If the necessary commands are fulfilled, the animal is encouraged, in case of disobedience, the animal is punished. In order for the developed skills to be fixed, the pet must be periodically trained. In this case, the trained animal will ideally perform all the actions that a person requires of it.
Firstly, it is required to decide what reward the dog will receive if it brings the ball. Few of the ways to encourage the needed behavior are treats for training or pieces of pet food. Secondly, it is important to praise the dog during the training to encourage correct behavior. As soon as the dog learns to bring the item by itself, expecting the trainer to ask to bring or throw it again, it has already begun to understand what the essence of this task is.
The trainer does not need to treat the pet if it does not return the ball as this will not reinforce the wanted behavior. Reward and punishment should immediately follow the dog’s actions. The longer the time interval between the positively evaluated actions of the dog and the reward, or between the negatively evaluated actions of the dog and punishment, the longer the reflex is developed, and the more errors occur during training.
Once the dog has learned the correct behavior, the trainer can move on to smaller rewards, such as praise, instead of food. At first, a trainer can encourage the dog every time, but gradually, as the dog begins to understand the command, reduce the edible rewards to nothing so that it does not think that the point of the action is to get a treat. In connection with such a habit, behaviorism is formed, which is based on the positive consequences of the actions of the dog. Such minor intervention in behavior allows you to instill in the dog a response to a command or an independent action.
Teaching to Give Away an Item
Dog training is best to start with general techniques. Due to these techniques, pets develop skills that provide control of their behavior, establish the necessary contact with the trainer, and lay the foundation for special training. In order for the puppy to easily give the item, the trainer should, by pronouncing the command, offer it a treat. Seeing a treat in the hands of a trainer, the puppy immediately gives the item. After that, the return of the rain also reduces to automatic action without additional rewards.
The development of the desired skill should at first be carried out in the most comfortable, familiar environment, in the absence of extraneous stimuli. Only gradually, as the skill develops, can the trainer move on to working in a new environment for the dog or in the presence of strong distractions. It should be borne in mind that physical discomfort contributes to the fact that the obedience of the dog may not be absolute. Therefore, for a start, training on the territory of the house is optimal, with a further exit beyond its territory.
Additional Requirements
Additionally, at the very beginning of the training, it is imperative to understand whether the dog knows its nickname “Skinner”. If necessary, it is also possible to teach a dog a nickname through rewards for the reaction. At the very beginning, for the effectiveness of actions, it is important that the owner accompany and monitor all the actions of the dog. After a certain period of time, when the dog executes the command on its own, it is possible to provide full autonomy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the best option for teaching the dog to bring the newspaper is to reward it. A gradual transition is possible from full support of the owner and maximum encouragement to automation of command execution. For the final result without expectation of a reward, it is important that the trainer gradually trains the pet and accustoms it to perform, until the desired result is achieved.
