Collie is a generic name given to a breed of dog that helps shepherds herding. It does not refer to a single breed, including “border collie“, “German shepherd” and so on. Nowadays, people often breed a border shepherd, and the army often breed a German shepherd.
For thousands or hundreds of years, the collie was primarily a breed of dog that herded sheep and animals.
Role is equivalent to the ranch to protect guard, to protect the safety of livestock, also avoid livestock, also can scare the other party in the invasion of exotic animals, but the most reliable animal farmers assistant, nowadays, it is well known that the shepherd in dog breeds belongs to high IQ, more lovely, also relatively easy to train a dog,
However, it is inevitable that some owners will be raised at home when the shepherd dog is grown up. Animals are animals after all. Even if they are born smart, they will make some too naughty actions or make the owner headache if they are not trained.
1. Mechanical Control of Sheepdog movement Mechanical control is a method of controlling the behavior of the dog when the dog is not listening to instructions.
The most common is a lead or leash.
When a dog goes out with its owner or is being trained, if it does not behave according to the owner’s intention, it can be pulled on the leash to make the dog restrained by the owner, so as not to act against the owner.
2, food attention motivation is generally master know method of training a dog, this approach can best try, after all, what are the dog dog can remain to but does not move in the face of things, and if only training, no reward, shepherd would feel training is a boring thing, otherwise the dog will feel tired,
It’s like when we go to school, we do homework all the time but have no time to play.
Food gets your dog’s attention and lets him know that something good will come if he does what he wants.
Mechanical control and reward mechanisms go hand in hand Mechanical control and reward mechanisms are combined by restraining the dog with a leash when the dog does not want to be trained, requiring the shepherd dog to follow the command, and rewarding the dog when the training is successful.
If the coercive behavior is too frequent, it will produce the opposite reflex, when the training begins each time will fear, avoid, resist, can not remember the training action.
Rewards are necessary, but in moderation.
If too much reward will affect the normal eating habits, you can use pet and verbal praise instead of food to encourage the shepherd dog to achieve the purpose of reward, but the dog is very love the master’s pet.
It IS THE CLEVER AND CLEVER CHARACTER OF THE SHEPHERD DOG THAT ATTRACTS MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP DOGS NOW. I hope that the owners do not forget to keep the good habits of the dog when they are very fond of it.
