Is there really no way for the border shepherd to learn what he is not interested in?
There is still a way, but this condition is harsh. That is: “You should make her feel that this is a necessary skill to bring freedom or happiness.”
A little hard to understand? Never mind, I’ll give you some real examples.
[1] Open the door (push the handle forward from the outside and pull the rope backward from the inside to open the door, in two cases)
Door type: wooden door without mechanical lock in rural areas
Opening scheme: Tie a thick rope on the door handle and let her pull it back to open the door.
She didn’t learn at first, but she was very fond of playing. I seized her weakness and made a breakthrough.
First of all, I was locked in the bedroom with the one they called Dou Ding and let her mother shoot balloons outside. When she heard the sound, she would like to go out very much.
Use this point to teach her, because she is anxious to go out and will be willing to learn.
But be careful, don’t let her worry too much, or she will completely lose her mind and slap the door wildly. Therefore, she must wait until her mood of wanting to go out is aroused. The sound of patting balloons outside immediately stops and she starts teaching. It takes five minutes to teach, but it takes several hours of practice before she gets into the habit.
Moreover, there is a bad habit now. She hates pulling the rope to open the door, probably because she feels tedious or laborious. Then before opening the door, there is a 90% chance that she will mumble in the same place for 1-2 seconds before opening the door, which is very interesting. I will record a video and upload it to you one day. But I am lucky that I can’t speak, otherwise I will be bored to death.
Door type: the door of the building with mechanical wrench.
Opening plan: stand up, press the wrench down and push the door forward.
This was taught by taking advantage of her liking to watch me go to the bathroom. When I was in the bathroom, she liked to go in and watch.
Then I will deliberately keep you from observing. I will close the door and call her name.
She’s just jumping outside in a hurry.
At this time, the “understanding” mother came. She was very “kind”. Without a trace of “distracting thoughts”, she commanded and told the one they called bean to jump and grab the handle. After several attempts, she learned it.
This process is more difficult than what I actually described, because the one called Dou Ding is small. The door bar in my house is heavy. She often makes the right moves, but the strength is not enough, which makes her always angry.
But then I got used to it, and the one-sided bean mastered the essence of opening the door, that is, no matter whether your door is heavy or not, I will go all out.
As a result, it’s like a superhero to open the door now. You are reading in the room, and suddenly the door is knocked open with a bang.
After being frightened, you can see that she is grinning and looking at you proudly.
Blowing up dad with a balloon is one of the daily tasks.
[2] Swing (yes, just this word, which means, let her shake her body constantly to quickly empty her body of water)
Why do you teach this? Because every time I give her a bath, I’m afraid she’ll catch cold, so I need to dry her body as quickly as possible.
Every time I will divide this body-drying process into two steps.
In the bathroom, remove a lot of water quickly. Leave only a little moisture in your body.
Take her to the crib in the bedroom and start to blow dry with a hair dryer. (She loves hair dryers and has no words. She dances when she sees them. Please explain.)
This command is mainly used for the first step, so that she can quickly remove most of the water.
Because if she can keep throwing herself, she can save a lot of drying time. So I have to teach her.
The opportunity of this teaching is easy to grasp, that is, she doesn’t like bathing very much. Although she will cooperate very much, you can see that she hates water and is even afraid of it.
Therefore, when she found that I would let her leave the bathroom as long as she kept throwing it a few times, she would learn this skill immediately.
So here comes another question. How do you associate the word jilt with her movements?
This is very simple. When dogs have water, they will naturally shake it to remove water.
You just happen to say the word “jilt” at the moment when she shakes, and then wait for her action to end and keep praising her for being great.
Then wait for the next opportunity. Repeatedly, a binding relationship is formed.
Then when you say the word, she will shake it.
So: Congratulations, Xiti: Swing a dog with controllable voice.
Put a balloon at the door deliberately, and when someone passes by and wants to kick, she will grab it. Please look at the chicken thief’s eyes.
[3] What must be learned, the highest command: spit it out.
This is the first, and almost the only, mandatory order of the Douding Society.
These three words represent the most dignified, non-negotiable, superlative, and must be executed immediately.
In a word: it must be executed immediately and must not be violated.
The One Bean knows deeply that this word is closely related to her happy life. Once she disobeys this command, her parents, who are extremely gentle in normal life, will instantly turn into demons more horrible than Satan. At this time, whether shivering or coquetry will become meaningless.
Therefore, the one they called bean deeply knows that this is the highest instruction in dog life.
Let me explain why: a dog is a naughty child. Even if she is clever, even if a hundred border shepherds are tied together, it can only be called “nothing more” compared with us humans.
She will miscalculate many things, among which the danger brought by eating is the most common.
Therefore, she needs an order that must not be violated. When I find that she has picked up the wrong food, I can immediately spit it on the ground without hesitation, and stay away from it, and keep in mind that this thing must never, never be held in my mouth.
There is no trick in the teaching plan of this command. If you want to learn, please remember: the way is that when your hairy child bites the wrong thing, please immediately explode the most powerful anger and severity in you. She will understand. She may not understand the meaning, but if she learns this, at least she will not touch and eat at random. She can live a happy and healthy life with great probability. So I think it is worth learning.
digression
Oh, yes, once in a while, after work and leisure, we will take the one-sided bean to the nearby business district, and then find a place out of the way to stop the car, put down the window and let the one-sided bean watch the passing crowd happily.
People often come to greet her, which is very interesting.
So, suppose that one day, friends in Beijing/Tianjin/Baoding saw a car parked on the roadside with a window open, and there was a beautiful thief in it, with a little red dot on his forehead, looking at you and smiling.
Then you can be 100% sure that this little guy must be Doudinger. Welcome to say hello ~ Haha
I don’t want to write, because I can’t finish it at all, and now it’s my working time, so it would be bad if my wife found out. Hehe.
Added interesting content-01: It is not recommended to teach dogs to open the door.
A friend kindly reminded me not to teach the border shepherd to open the door. These hairy children may go out to play without authorization.
Here, I especially bold the font to show my approval. This situation really exists. Therefore, the skill of the one-sided bean in opening the door is not worth popularizing and learning.
But friends don’t have to worry about Douding running out, because her situation is special.
[1] My wife and I both work from home, and Douding has been with us for 24 hours since childhood, so she has no chance.
[2] The door is the kind of fingerprint password with an anti-lock, so she can’t open it.
[3] Maybe it’s because she’s never lonely. She doesn’t feel so good about going out to play. It lasts for half an hour or five minutes. If the weather is bad, I’ll drag you back. You can’t even pick up a courier by the way. For this reason, someone has taken photos. (My wife wants to turn right to get the courier, but she has to turn left to go home. She is deadlocked in the middle of the road and is photographed.)
[4] Don’t walk in the sun when it’s hot. Don’t tread on the soil, water, dirt or manhole cover. Jump or bypass when you see it. Thief personality. I think there’s no way for her to walk in this world. You say what she’s going out for. You ask me why. I don’t know why. No one has taught her. My wife says she’s a neat freak. But I think she’s out of her mind. She was stabbed when she was sick.
[5] The last point is the fishing law enforcement-type education since childhood, which is too complicated to elaborate. Anyway, the result is to let her understand that self-discipline is the only way to be free. When I am not lazy, I can just tear it apart and write an article. (In fact, this is the most useful one.)
Even so, I still don’t recommend teaching dogs to open the door, because there are risks.
