Features: expressive and energetic, agile and comical despite short limbs. The sense of smell is very sensitive. Whether as a hunting dog or companion dog, it is increasingly popular, China has been introduced. Training: (1) to praise and petting - the purpose of training is to "teach", not "scold". The best way is to praise and pet often, so that the dog understands the owner's happy mood.
(2) The command should be clear - in order for the dog to understand and memorize, it is best to use short, clearly pronounced phrases when training, and it is not advisable to repeat them. When issuing commands, avoid loud atmospheric or angry tone. Because dogs are very sensitive, the above practices will gradually make the dog associate scolding with training. In addition, the same command should be given to different dogs with different temperaments. For example, the same "crouch down", to the nervous dog to gently or coolly command it, to the active dog is loud and categorical command it, the breeder should choose different ways according to their dog's character.
(3) Avoid superfluous compliments - Compliments to the dog should be limited to when the dog is very obedient. If the dog is praised at every turn, it will confuse it and it will not know when to get a compliment. This makes it difficult to carry out the crucial training.
(4) Corrections should be made in a timely manner - the moment the dog is about to do something that is a "no-no," it should be stopped loudly and decisively. If you reprimand him afterward, the dog will not understand why and will continue to do the "no-do" thing. Worse yet, if the dog is frequently reprimanded for unknown reasons, it will gradually develop a distrust of its owner and stop listening to its commands.
(5) Stick to physical punishment - Physical punishment as a way to force a dog to obey is the worst thing you can do. Like any animal, dogs are very wary of people. From the dog's point of view, being hit or kicked for no apparent reason only creates the impression of being "abused". If the owner is very powerful, the dog may obey out of fear. However, a dog growing up in such an environment is extremely insecure and will sometimes attack weaker children or elderly people, or even bite people. Therefore, when the dog does not obey the command, the loud command at the same time, the water gun rushed to the dog's face shot, most of the dog will be quiet.
(6) Train Anytime, Anywhere - Training is not limited by time. In walks, meals, guests and other daily life, you should patiently teach the dog what is "to do" and what is "not to do" things.
(7) Never give up--Dogs are not animals that can be taught once or twice and then remembered and followed immediately. It needs to gradually form a memory in the process of non-stop training. Therefore the breeder is required to be patient and keep training it.
(8) Cultivate the ability to adapt - the dog to their own dislike of things, from time to time is to avoid, or bark at it, or simply pound it. This can sometimes cause a lot of trouble for the owner. In this case, the first thing to do is to have patience and never be in a hurry, allowing the dog to approach the thing it doesn't like slowly, while at the same time constantly speaking to it in a gentle voice to calm it down. If you scold the dog at this time, it will in turn make the dog hide further away. In addition, this method of keeping the dog away from things and places it doesn't like only adds to the distress of the breeder, and there is nothing the breeder can do about it.
(9) do not compare with other dogs - the ability of the dog is different, therefore, to take the appropriate speed to train, never with other dogs than the gap, and thus think "our dog is really poor understanding". Have confidence in your own dog.
(10) Consult with an expert - In the process of training, if you encounter any difficult problems, please feel free to consult with an expert or veterinarian.
