2. 5 scientific steps to train your dog to "lie down"
Step 1: Preparation Phase
• Choose a quiet, distraction-free environment
• Prepare high-value reward snacks (small pieces of chicken or specialized training biscuits are recommended)
• Make sure the dog is mildly hungry (training works best before meals)
Step 2: Basic posture guidance
| action | Correct approach | Common mistakes |
|---|---|---|
| Gesture commands | Press your palms downward while saying "Lie down" | Gestures and commands are out of sync |
| Snack guide | Slowly move the snack from the tip of your nose down to the ground | Moving too fast |
Step 3: Behavior Markers and Rewards
• The moment your dog's body touches the ground, immediately say "Yes!"
• Give snack reward within 3 seconds
• Train 3-5 times a day, no more than 10 minutes each time
Step 4: Gradually Undo Boot
| training phase | Snack usage ratio | Gesture retention |
|---|---|---|
| Early stage (1-3 days) | 100% reward every time | full gesture |
| Medium term (4-7 days) | Random reward 60% | Simplify gestures |
| Later period (7 days later) | Oral rewards mainly | Password only |
Step 5: Environmental Interference Training
• From a quiet room → a occupied living room → a quiet place outdoors → a park
• Training needs to be strengthened every time the environment is upgraded
• Use a long rope (3-5 meters) to control a safe distance
3. Answers to recent popular training questions
Q1: Why does my dog always stand up immediately?
A: According to the latest research by pet behaviorist @dogwhisperer, 81% of cases are due to improper timing of rewards. The correct approach is to wait for the dog to remain in a lying position for 3 seconds before rewarding it, and gradually extend the stay time.
Q2: Can older dogs learn new commands?
A: Recent discussions on the topic of "Silver Pets" show that dogs over 12 years old need to spend 2-3 times longer on average. However, through high-value rewards (such as liver snacks) and shortening the length of a single training session, the success rate can reach 73%.
4. Training effect evaluation criteria
| level | Performance characteristics | Compliance time reference |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Complete the action with snacks to guide you | 1-3 days |
| Intermediate | Respond to gestures or spoken commands (no snack guidance) | 1-2 weeks |
| Advanced | Execute instructions within 5 seconds in a disruptive environment | 3-4 weeks |
