Responsible dog owners always take all matters concerning their pets seriously. They not only need to feed and take regular walks, but also be properly trained. However, some dogs have an independent nature, which can be a barrier to training. We'll discuss these in this article.
Pug
These cute animals are known for their incredibly stubborn nature. Therefore, owners will have to spend a lot of time training them even basic commands.
It's best to begin training your pug when it's still a young puppy. As a pug gets older, it becomes increasingly lazy. It begins to act like a sedentary, overweight animal with no time to learn commands.
Therefore, if you want to teach your pet something, don’t wait until he prefers to lie on a soft sofa instead of chasing a ball.
French Bulldog
The French Bulldog is an excellent companion. He is intelligent, energetic, courageous, and very persistent. Representatives of this breed are characterized by their self-confidence and the ability to impose a sense of self-worth on others.
It's important to begin training your French Bulldog as soon as it comes into your home. This is essential to gaining control over a wayward pet.
A bulldog's stubbornness can significantly slow down the training process, so you need to be patient and go through the same lesson several times, remembering to review the material already covered.
Italian Greyhound
A light, airy, and playful creature, the Italian Greyhound is increasingly becoming an excellent choice for a social pet. Generally, this dog is easy to train. However, there are some training considerations that need to be taken into account.
For the Italian Greyhound, monotonous activities are a source of incredible boredom, because of which she quickly loses interest in training and moves on to more fun activities, in her opinion.
Don't overwhelm your pet with lengthy training sessions; keep lessons short but engaging. It's best to structure training as an engaging game. And don't forget to praise your pet; this approach is essential for this breed.
Japanese Chin
The sooner you begin training a young Japanese Chin, the sooner the happy owner will see an obedient, intelligent pet. Explain the rules of conduct in the house, but never raise your voice. Yelling or rudeness will put a stop to all your efforts to train a Chin. You don't need to prove your dominance over a dog of this breed. But you also shouldn't indulge your pet's whims.
During training, a Chin may become stubborn and refuse to obey its owner. In such a situation, patience is essential. However, physical force should not be used.
Another characteristic of the Japanese Chin is its tendency to ponder a situation for a long time. It has already been proven that the animal understands what its owner wants from it. It reads facial expressions, gestures, and even intonation, but it immediately refuses to obey a command. It must first think it through.
This behavior is not very common, but responsible owners should still be aware of this characteristic of their pet and not give in to their emotions.
Bobtail
The most important thing in training a bobtail is not to waste precious time. If you don't start training immediately after your puppy's arrival, you can expect him to ignore you 90% of the time.
Dogs of this breed are known for their good nature, so the key to training them is to surround them with love, patience, and mutual kindness. Don't try to teach your pet a thousand and one commands; this approach is difficult for this breed to master.
Identify a basic set of commands and drill them until your dog's actions become automatic. Only one family member should train your bobtail. Their voice will act as a leadership cue. Don't stop training until your dog has grasped the key points.
A stubborn and independent dog in the house is a real headache for its owners. Therefore, consider all the breed's characteristics when choosing a pet. This will make it easier for you to develop a set of commands for training it and become its pack leader.
