I have to say that the golden retriever is really very smart. After just two days at home, I started to coax it with dog food and taught it to sit down. I put a piece of dog food in my hand, and when it wants to eat, I took it away and told it to sit down. At the same time, I gently pressed its butt. If it sits down, I would shout the command to sit down. After it sits for a while, I would give it food as encouragement. After repeating it several times, it remembered it in one afternoon.
Of course, these skills need to be practiced every day.
Later, I started to teach it the command not to move. When the food was served to it, I pulled it away when it wanted to eat and shouted not to move. It still rushed forward. I pulled it away again and shouted not to move. After repeating it several times, it remembered it. Our Coke has a very good temper. She will never rebel because you took away her food. She will always sit quietly beside you and look at you, telling you directly with her eyes: Please, give me food.
Later, she was trained to understand the command to eat. Every time I tell it not to move and sit down, it will just sit there and look at you stupidly. Then at this time, I will say “eat”, and then push it, and then touch the lunch box to indicate that it can eat, and it will start to eat. This command is very simple, and it will learn it after two or three meals.
Training handshake. In the past, it knew many commands. Every time I told it to sit down and not to move, I would hold its front paws and say “handshake”. Just try a few times and it will be fine. Then put its paw down, change the other paw, and say “the other hand”. Over time, my command is “handshake”, “good, good”, and then touch its head a few times and say “the other hand”, and it will change its paws very cleverly.
Training it to catch food. Once I found that our Coke likes to eat oranges very much, and like me, it must be very sour oranges, so every time I told it to sit in front of me, I would throw the oranges to it one by one, and it would slowly catch them one by one. Because this is the first time it eats fruit, every time I go home and bring oranges in my bag, it can definitely smell them, and it will be so excited that it will run to the kitchen door and sit down and wait for me… It understands
this command. Because I often cook in the kitchen, I need to use knives and oil, etc. It always circles around me and likes to stand up to see what I am doing. I am afraid that it is unsafe to use a knife, so I drive it to the kitchen door. If it wants to come in, I will scare it and shout “get out”. Over time, it will not go into the kitchen. Sometimes when I am in the kitchen, it forgets and runs in to act cute. I will shout it out, and it will run to the kitchen door and lie down to look at me with a look of grievance. It
understands the command to go in. Every night after eating, walking, peeing, and cleaning the poop, I come back to play with it for a while, and let it go to bed at 10:30 pm. At first, it will go to its room only if I push it, and I shout “go in” every time I push it. After that, every time I want it to go to bed, I shout “go in” and it will go in and go to bed in dejection. Before going to bed, I will wash its bowl again, change the clean water and put it in its room. It will lie down after drinking every time.
The toes of dogs can get skin diseases. If you find that the dog walks with a limp and there are no signs of injury, you can ask her to lie down, and then turn over the hair between the toes of the dog. You will find that the toes are full of blood, as if they are cracked. That is a skin disease and you need to spray medicine. We have a dog doctor in the countryside, so we took a few anti-inflammatory drugs and sprayed a mite-killing Huangyan Dongda Pi Fu Kang antifungal spray. After the first spray, the dog will find a drill because it is too painful. Spray it again after five minutes, and then spray it again after another five minutes, a total of three times (completed within 15 minutes). Later, every rainy day, I would ask her to lie down after I came back from the toilet and wipe the water between her toes so that she would not get skin diseases due to moisture. If the dog starts to lick or bite the skin, you should carefully observe whether it has skin disease. There are many skin diseases, such as rashes, ringworms, and cracks. You should treat it in time, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you see her body full of bite holes and uncomfortable look. Remember, if she has skin disease, don’t be lazy and don’t delay! When
the dog does something wrong, I always use a towel to beat her. If you beat the dog with a stick, it is easy to hit the internal organs when the dog hides from you. When the surgery is needed, it may leave sequelae (physical weakness and decline). The purpose of this beating is: loud noise, to scare it. When you are angry, it is inevitable that you don’t know how to hit it. This beating will not hurt her no matter how heavy it is. Remember, don’t hit the face, you may hit the eyes. Don’t hit the mouth, you may hurt the nerves and can’t control drooling.
For your dog’s love and for public health, even if it poops near the door, you must clean it up immediately. Remember, clean it up. Prevent others from stepping on it, and be a civilized dog owner. If you don’t step on it cleanly, you will meet some people with malicious hearts who will feed it in places where dogs often appear. You will think about it later.
