While
it is common for alot of dog breeds to lie with their legs splayed
behind them it is a characteristic of the more muscular breeds in
particular as it allows the muscles in the animals hind legs rest in
a different position and increase circulation to the muscles much
like an athlete having a massage.
Another reason for the animal to do this Staffies in particular is to act as a heat transfer with the legs out behind more area is in contact with the ground effecting greater heat loss as Staffies are prone to overheating.
They
strongly advocate the use of adult dogs (only those over the age of 2
or so, not pups, that are selected via personality screening, then a
uniform training program to rapid cull those that take too long to
train or fail to complete the training program.
This approach, abandoning the starting with puppies, would rapidly increase the number of dog available to be quickly well-trained and placed.
It also will decrease the costs involved so more people needing service animals (for all types of training).
The
source for this shows an updated picture with more dogs at a more
recent gathering. This is also mentioned earlier in the article: "One
such organisation is the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, which in
August 2013 assembled 222 Golden Retrievers at the historical home of
the first Golden Retrievers."
Drop
or Down Get a treat or favourite toy to tempt your dog.
Then, tell him to Sit. Then, bring the treat down just in front of his front paws on the ground and say Drop.
I don't recommend pushing down on his back because most dogs will bite you. When he is lying down, say Drop or Down again. Repeat this process about twenty-five times.
Then, say Drop or Down without the hand movement.Remember the younger this process starts the easier it will be. Keep in mind that some breeds are naturally more aggressive, particularly terriers and other hunting breeds such as Akitas, Dobermans, Rottweilers and hound varieties.
Some of the smaller and toy dogs are also not well suited to interacting with cats, so research the breed and talk to current owners and breeders before you choose.I believe that what you're talking about is the contrast effect of the reinforcer.
Contrast effects of primary reinforcers of food can affect learning. For example, a handler is training his dog to increase the speed of the recall. The handler offers kibble as a reinforcer for a quick recall.
On the fifth trial, the dog expects a piece of kibble as a reward for recall, but instead the handler gives it a piece of gorgonzola cheese. The dog has never had gorgonzola before, but it reacts by consuming the new, smelly cheese with great enthusiasm.
As a result, the dog speed increases in the following recall trials.
This is known as positive behavioral contrast. The handler offered the gorgonzola for several more trials, then ran out, and began offering the same kibble as before.
The dog may not respond as quickly on the recalls anymore because the reinforcer does not hold as much value. This is known as negative behavioral contrast.
It is important to note that the contrast effect is quite transient and usually only lasts for 1-2 trials after the discrepant reward.
Leave
it/Take it Every time you give your dog breakfast, lunch or dinner,
tell him to sit. Then, say Leave it. Start putting your dog's meal
down.
He will rush to it so when he rushes at it, bring it back up, tell him to Sit (see above) and Leave it again. Keep doing it until he gets the point.
Then, when he has successfully Left it, say Take it. If he doesn't, shake the bowl to tempt him. This can also be used for things your dog isn't allowed to touch.Toilet training your cane corso puppy should be started early and all members of the family need to show your dog that they are the alpha of the family.
Chewing may be a problem of your dog, and it is recommended that you get an obedience trainer should this become a problem.Does anyone else think there should be a section on the controversy between different schools of thought in dog training?
For example, some people strongly believe that positive punishment is inhumane and that all dogs can be trained using postive punshment/negative reinforcement alone (e.g Karen Pryor, Turid Rugaas),
whereas others think that positive punishment is necessary to proof dogs against distractions to have a reliable dog (e.g Koehler, Ed Frawley, Monks of New Skeete).
Some trainers believe that using "pack theory" is sufficient in order to have a well behaved dog (e.g Cesar Millan, Jan Fennell) whereas others think it is completely unnecessary (e.g most behaviourists, such as Karen Pryor and Jean Donaldson).
Some trainers are keen on correction collars or headcollars, whereas others think that either (or both) are inhumane.This need to be changed - "Golden Retrievers are really involved in commercials like the worldwide 2012 Super Bowl commercial".
Not only were the Golden Retrievers involved in the Super Bowl commercials such as VolksWagen and Bud Light, but also appeared in the half time shows of every game."Agreed. The topic of dog training should provide information on the various schools of thought".
I don't now that this should be presented as "controversy". It may be a matter of controversy to some.
My thoughts are that it should be presented in a more objective way, minus the personal bias towards one method or another.
