Learn how to train your dog to recognise its name and come when called. The Head of Training at Battersea Dogs and Cat's Home, Ali Taylor, takes you through the technique.

來學(xué)學(xué)如何訓(xùn)練你的愛狗吧,讓它能識(shí)別自己的名字,當(dāng)你叫它的時(shí)候,它能跑過來。巴特西貓狗之家的訓(xùn)寵主教練阿里泰勒將會(huì)教你這些技巧。

Step 1: When and how to reward
Reward your dog all the time for movements in the right way, then for the whole action, then for best attempts. Rewards can be food in the form of treats or part of your dog's dinner, praise, or a toy or game. Remember it is only a reward if your dog wants it.

1.何時(shí)、怎樣給愛狗獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)
只要愛狗做出了正確的動(dòng)作就給它獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),之后,對愛狗在整個(gè)訓(xùn)練過程中的表現(xiàn)進(jìn)行獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),再接下來,即使愛狗沒能完成訓(xùn)練內(nèi)容,只要它盡力做了嘗試,就給它獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)可以采用食物的形式,也可以是愛狗的部分晚餐,可以是一聲贊美(愛撫),或者獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)它個(gè)玩具,還可以陪它玩?zhèn)€游戲。愛狗需要的東西就可以作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。

Step 2: Name recognition
To get your dog to pay attention to its name, hold a reward between yours and your dog's eyeline, say its name and as soon as it looks at you, give the reward.

2.教愛狗識(shí)別自己的名字
想要讓你的愛狗對它的名字產(chǎn)生注意,用手拿著用于獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)愛狗的東西,放在你和愛狗的視線之間,然后喊愛狗的名字。當(dāng)它看你的時(shí)候,就把獎(jiǎng)賞給它。

Step 3: Coming when called
To get your dog to come when called, show it a toy or treat, then move away a couple of paces. Call out your dog's name and say 'come' in a happy voice, smiling and gesturing to your dog. As the dog comes to you, hold its collar and either feed or play with it. Gradually increase the distance between you and your dog until you can call it from room to room or in and out of the garden. Don't call your dog if you are going to punish or shout at it.

3.訓(xùn)練愛狗,讓它“隨叫隨到”
要讓你的愛狗“隨叫隨到”,在它面前拿出個(gè)玩具或者一些食物,然后向后退幾步。叫你愛狗的名字,用較為甜美的聲音對它喊“過來!”,并對愛狗微笑,打手勢。當(dāng)愛狗過來時(shí),抓住它的項(xiàng)圈,喂它食物或者和它嬉戲。此后逐步拉大你和愛狗之間的距離,直到你可以隔著屋子或者在隔著花園叫來你的愛狗。當(dāng)你要懲罰或者訓(xùn)斥愛狗時(shí)不要那樣喊它。

Remember to make learning fun. Your dog will respond more quickly and won't be afraid to try again if you make a mistake.

切記,要讓學(xué)習(xí)成為樂趣。如此,你的愛狗會(huì)反應(yīng)更迅捷,當(dāng)你犯錯(cuò)時(shí)它也不會(huì)害怕重來。
