As soon as the dog bites in the course of the game or other activity, one must at once repeat to him: "Voice! Well!" - and give a treat. After you repeat this several times, the dog will understand that when she barks and this is accompanied by the word "voice", she is praised and fed with delicious.

Team "Voice!": Incentive methods

There are several other easy ways to teach a dog to bark on demand. If the owner shows patience and perseverance, his efforts will soon be rewarded.

• The easiest way is to encourage the dog with a delicacy. It is necessary to work in a quiet place where the pet will not distract anything. The dog should be on a leash. It must be seated, and the end of the leash should be pressed with a foot so that it can not jump. To raise a dainty before her nose, so that she does not reach it, and repeat: "Voice!" Once the dog bows, praise it and give a treat. Repeat the exercise 3-4 times.
• The same can be done with your favorite toy pet. Or use his desire to bring a stick if he is familiar with the command "Aport".
• You can teach a dog and a method of imitation. To do this, you need to invite a pet of friends who are already familiar with this team. Dogs are planted near each other. After that the command "Voice!" Is given. When a trained dog starts barking, they give him a treat. Your pet should understand in which case he will receive a piece, and also begin to bark. For the same purpose, you can walk the puppy where there are many trained dogs that are played by the hosts.

Training by the method of excitation of a dog

The command "Voice!" Can be studied by other methods. They are more suitable for those pets that are trained for protection and protection. An assistant is needed for training. The owner keeps the dog on a leash, and the assistant, representing the "stranger", comes up and starts teasing her. As soon as the dog starts to bark, the owner says: "Voice!" - and encourages him with delicacy and praise. A "stranger" should hide. After a while, the dog gives a voice without an assistant, only at the request of the owner.

Ordinary companion dog can also be trained by excitement. This method is used by many owners who live in urban apartments. For this they gather for a walk, take a leash and go out the door, "forgetting" to take the dog. The dog must bark with offense. Then the owner returns, commands: "Voice!" - And praises the pet.

Complication of skill

How can we understand that the pet has learned the command? The dog must perform it on demand, do not repeat the word "voice" many times. If the dog barked at once, as you said it, and does not expect delicacies in return, then he learned the command. In addition, you need to alternate teams, serve them at a distance of 10-15 meters.

After that, you can complicate the workouts. Most often they get the dog three times barking. It is convenient if the dog is a watchdog or hunting dog, participates in competitions or people search. To achieve this is not difficult: just a treat should be shoved into the dog's mouth after it is flushed three times. In addition, in many cases it is important to teach the dog to bark at the click of his fingers or the vibrating motion of the palm without a voice command. To do this, just simultaneously with the word "voice" you need to perform these gestures. In time, you can leave only them.

Some owners try to teach the pet to bark at the expense, ask for barking help, say something like "ma-ma." If the dog is intelligent, this can be achieved, but is it worth it? Unless for entertainment and to brag to friends. If the dog does not understand what is required of him, then it is not necessary to torment him.

If you have the patience and communicate with the dog calmly and without rudeness, then it will learn any commands quickly.
