When you first meet a dog you want to build trust so that a bond can formed. It is essential for training. Dogs have shown their patriotism over the years but their efforts are yet to be fully recognized. Usually, war dogs are thoroughly trained to think like a soldier in the battlefield. These dogs could be tasking to train since they have to respond to non-verbal communication.
It is very expensive to prepare them for the battle depending on the special training it should receive. Training can only start if they follow those small commands you give it like to stand or sit down. You must be consistent on the place you will be training this soldier. Let it be trained in a fenced area where no distractions take their attention away.
If you want them to be obedient take it to the training ground severally. It helps in familiarizing the place such that when the dog gets to the place it knows it is training time. Make it enjoyable and not like a task they must carry out. Every time you go there they will follow you simple commands like sitting, standing or grabbing a ball.
As a trainer let the dog respect you. Respect is essential between a human being and a dog because that will be the only time it will adhere to your instructions. Taking the dog for a walk and giving it nice treatment will not make the animal respect you. That is love therefore respect is acquired when you show the animal that you are ready to protect it in times of danger.
When training dogs carry yourself as you would during a job interview. Be serious and let your commands be clearly displayed. Dogs love someone powerful and one who can show sense of authority. What you do with your body is what matters the most since they copy the action. Some people presume you have to look huge to show authority but that is not the case.
Like human beings dogs love being appreciated if they do some job well. Treat them with a nice meal if the training was successful that day. Let them feel the appreciation. You should know what makes your dog tick and give them that. These things can be learnt during training whereby you note the activities they enjoy doing the most and note them down.
In case a dog misbehaves during training you should punish it accordingly. Most training camps are against punishing them but it is just like you would discipline a child. However it should not be brutal and emotional. Make the dog understand what they did was wrong without screaming or whipping them. Let them know you angry click.
They must eat well and exercise a lot during the training period. It helps their brains to function effectively and grasp all the lessons. These dogs experience trauma during deployment therefore train them how to relate with new people. They are our next heroes and future law enforcers, they should be treated with dignity.
