Maybe Afghan dogs may be obedient when they were young, but they still have some bad behaviors. It’s just that we didn’t take care of Afghan dogs too much, and let some behaviors of Afghan dogs be ignored. What should I do if the dog grows up and doesn’t obey?
1. Whether the Afghan dog is obedient or not is closely related to the owner’s feeding method and teaching method. Many parents face naughty and mischievous Afghan dogs, they will adopt the education method of beating and scolding. In fact, this method is not recommended by the editor. For dogs, they will also have self-esteem, and they will also have a sense of vengeance in the face of abuse and beatings by their owners.
2. So what should I do when the Afghan dog at home is disobedient? To make the disobedient Afghan dog obedient, the best way is to guide and train in time. For example, when the Afghan dog is disobedient, the parent can reprimand it in time to stop it, and then order it to stay quietly until it is ordered to move. If the Afghan dog can follow the owner’s instructions, then give it encouragement and praise after it gets up. For example, petting, food, and toys are all fine.
3. Every parent should understand that once Afghan dogs form their own habits and attitudes, it is difficult to change them. Adult Afghans, in particular, take more time and effort to correct their established habits. The stick method is not worth promoting, which not only cannot change the Afghan dog’s behavioral awareness, but will have the opposite effect. Therefore, this also requires that to teach a disobedient Afghan dog, the owner should invest more time and energy, and slowly change its behavioral awareness in the daily life, so that it gradually becomes obedient and sensible.
4. Lastly, when raising Afghan dogs, parents must not spoil it. Training should be started at an early age to cultivate Afghan dogs to develop good habits and attitudes. This is a responsibility and an obligation for the owner. To make the Afghan dog live in harmony with the family, this scientific domestication is a must.
