Seeing other people's dogs will find things and have various skills. Many parents also want to train their own dogs in this skill. But it is difficult to train dogs to find things. How to train dogs in this skill?

At the beginning of training, don't put the things you want your dog to find too far away. It's ok to go from 10 steps to dozens of steps. Take the dog as the center. At the beginning, take the things you want to find (you can use the wrapped food at first) and walk 10 steps away. When you get to an obstacle, let the dog put away the place where it can't see. Go back to the dog and let the dog start searching with gestures and passwords. At this stage, you should pay attention to avoid letting the dog beat around the bush.

In the process of dog search, if you are impatient or stop searching, you should let him "lie down" in time, wait for a while, and then start again. Reward him immediately until he finds the item and takes it back. Be sure to pay attention, if the dog feels difficult in the process of searching, then try to help him, and finally let him find the items, otherwise the frustration will make the dog have resistance to this training. And reward him at every training stage.

After the dog has mastered the basic working principles, it can slowly lengthen the search distance.
