"Forward Practice" is trained for some more "clichy" dogs. (Have you ever had such an experience: your dog is tightly pressed against your feet as soon as you go out, and you will step on it as soon as you walk. Some dogs, even if they go out, they want to hug their owners and keep moving~). The method of "forward training" is as follows:

1. Use the forward target

1. First let the dog sit down, and then the dog owner points to a target ahead with a gesture (not too far, about 50 meters), such as: a small tree, a telephone pole in front, and issue a command to move forward at the same time. When the dog wants to move forward, push the dog forward by the way and move forward with the dog.

2. When the dog moves a few steps forward and wants to stop, the dog owner should repeat the commands and gestures in time and urge the dog to move forward with continuous expulsion, but the dog owner should never run to the front of the dog.

3. As long as the dog can run forward, reward it with a password of "good "". Go about 50 meters and let the dog lie down and reward it. Follow this method to gradually extend the distance between you and the dog until the dog can move forward smoothly for more than fifty meters according to the command.

2. Use the inducement method of fake delivery of items to train forward

1. First, choose a quiet environment with a straight road, so that the dog can sit and wait for delay. The dog owner walks about twenty meters along the road, pretends to release items, quickly return to the right side of the dog, hold the dog's neck with his left hand, and direct the dog forward with commands and gestures.

2. When the dog advances to the place where the item is placed, let the dog lie down. The dog owner should follow up quickly, walk to the dog and reward it.

3. After repeated training, the distance of fake items was gradually extended to about fifty meters to allow the dog to move forward. When your dog can move forward smoothly to the above distance. This can reduce or cancel the action of fake items, and only use passwords and gestures to direct the dog forward.

4. In the early stage of removing fake items, do not require that the distance is too far. As long as the dog can advance 3-5 meters according to the command, the dog should be rewarded in time, and then gradually extend the advance distance to more than fifty meters in the future.
