Snake Training Your Dog Works

Pug not think it was funny absoluto.El training area consisted of a large grassy space in the form of an oval populated with a few trees and a large box in the middle. A dirt road completely around the oval. At the bottom of the oval, the dirt road continued toward a red barn grande.Había a few people there with dogs of all shapes and sizes. When our turn came, I went for the first time with our German Shepherd. It was equipped with a shock collar that was attached to a long rope (like clothesline rope) and told me to casually the dirt road to the right of the lawn area, moving towards the top of oval letting the dog has his freedom of movement. The lead is supposed to be very loose, and told us that move with indifference allowed the dog to move in front of me. Once we got to the top of the oval, the coach said casually turn on the oval and start walking slowly towards the center to the big box. The dog followed him and went before me, sniffing along the way as our way slowly toward the center into the box. How does this actually, and continue: The table in the center is double safety wire and full Several rattlesnakes. First the dog smells the snake, and then hear them. Natural curiosity leads her to approach the box to smell more and check out this new smell, noise and movement. As soon as the dog is very close with his nose close to the snakes, and the coach knows that the dog smelled, heard and seen snakes, dogs crashes in a very high level through the shock collar that cause shout the dog feels pain the dog is now associated with snakes. The dog will not forget this! Immediately, the coach tells me to run to the side of the oval and comfort of the dog so the dog associates the pain or "bite" with the owner. After a bit of comfort, they were instructed to follow the road to the other end of the oval and start walking to the center again from the opposite end. Our dog immediately stopped, his tail went down, and as German Shepherds do, she blocked my way that keep me from going any further, and I heard her give an gruñido.Hemos followed this procedure with the other two dogs, and the results were the same each time except that neither he nor the Pug Schnauzer blocked our way, but stopped short and not go further into the box of snakes. We praise each dog and left at the seguridad.Training Day - Session 2: After two weeks, returned to the farm again to see if the snake training lesson had been learned and ingrained in the memory of the dog. Only this time, had placed the box of snakes on the dirt road near the barn door open. And a truck had been delivered to hide part of the German Shepherd caja.El: Coach teaches us to take our dog on a leash very loose and casual start to walk down the dirt road to the barn and snakes hidden. Again, our German Shepherd does not go very far from everything before it stops me from moving crosses and further in that direction once more grunts to let me know the danger. At this point, we praise him and return to the area espera.El Mini Schnauzer: Schnauzer When approached by the dirt road, stopped and turned to walk away from danger. We praised him and returned to the area of ​​espera.El Pug: And little Pug was a little closer to our other two dogs, but then stopped short and curly tail completely unwound. This is the sign that dogs know there is danger ahead and not go there. It is important to always consider your dog's body language for signs that something is wrong. Praise and around the area espera.Nuestros coaches told us that this lesson will prolong the life of dogs. He said that although it was not necessary to bring them back, but if we wanted a drink after a year or two, we could return without charge, but doubted that it would not be necessary. The lesson was deeply rooted in his memory.
