Low let’s learn about dog “recruitment training”, which is a very useful dog training program.

1. First let the dog sit on your left side, hold the object in your right hand, such as a small toy ball, and then issue a "bite" command, then gently open the dog's mouth with your left hand and put the ball into the dog's mouth.

2. Then use your right hand to support the dog's lower palate. At the same time, I issued a "bite" and "good" command, and stroked the dog's head with my left hand, so that the dog could hold the item firmly. When the dog shows that it is spitting out items, repeat the command to "bite" and gently support the jaw, stuff the ball back into the dog's mouth, so that the dog can continue to bite the toy.

3. In the early stage of training, the dog can hold it for a few seconds and it will be considered successful.

4. The dog owner can then issue a "spray" command if the dog spits out the toy. Remember that the dog owner must touch the dog to let the dog know that it is doing it well and it is very good.

5. Finally, put away the ball toy and reward the dog with food. Repeat training according to the above method.

Once the dog can freely sniff the toy according to your password, the character training will be successfully completed.
