A dog that's displaying an unhelpful behaviour can be taught to touch instead. As an example any dog which has learned how to jump up for attention will be far less intrusive if he offers a paw as an alternative.
Any dog training should be carried out in a positive demeanour and based mostly on incentive and reward to get the finest results.
The following stages can easily occur as one of your dog training games yet provide a handy result by improving your dog's behavior. A clicker can simply be utilized as a strengthening tool.
- Prepare with some treats, tiny and delicious will galvanize wonderfully. Show your dog his reward then give him a little time to work out wheat he must do to obtain the reward. Contingent on his insistence and attention span this could take anything from a split second to a couple of minutes.
- During this time your dog may attempt to do something with his paw, he may touch you or just lift it from the ground. If he does then reinforce and reward immediately, do this for the tiniest behaviour that involves his paw. You can build on it.
- When your dog is mystified he will be able to simply look at you. If he has produced no behaviour that may be molded into touch you can help him along by putting a treat in a closed fist and offering it to him.
- He should try to encourage release of the treat with his paw, at that point you brace and reward.
- When your dog has learned to touch with a paw you can add a cue word to it to urge him to offer the behaviour rather than jumping up. You can do this by introducing the cue word before he attempts to jump up then rewarding the proper response.
- If your dog has jumped up and he knows the cue word to the alternative behavior then simply ignore the undesired jumping up completely. When he realizes the jumping is getting him no attention your dog will offer the alternative behavior of touch to try to get his reward.
- Timing is vital, the jumping up must be avoided altogether so the trick is to ask for (and reward) the alternative behavior well before the dog jumps up.
