The "wait" and "no"/”leave it” commands.
⠀
⠀
So we participated in this ”wait” challenge as well). And I want to tell you about the most common mistake that the dog owners make: they say the command “no”/”leave it” and then they want the dog to wait until some point for permission.
⠀
⠀
The “wait” and “no”/ ”leave it” commands are two completely different things.
⠀
⠀
❌ Command "no"/”leave it”
The most important rule of this command is that the dog NEVER GETS the object or an action that you said "no” to. That "no" is a complete ban on any action.
⠀
⠀
⭕️Command "wait"
After this command, the dog waits and then GETS the object/action.
⠀
⠀
When the dog owners get confused with these commands, they are breaking the logic of the things.
⠀
⠀
❗️For example: the owner says “no” in situations where he wants the dog to do nothing and wait, and then allows it something. (As in this challenge with food). And then they go for a walk, and the dog wants to pick up something from the ground. Again owner says “no”, only he doesn't want the dog to pick up something from the ground in any case.
⠀
⠀
And which one it is a command then? When the same command can mean for the dog two different things, it doesn’t understand what owner wants from it: is this the first option “no” when the dog still gets something or the second when it’s a total ban?

5 things that your dog needs.
⠀
⠀
⠀
🔸Balanced nutrition.
You need to know what is the best option for your dog’s food. Consult your veterinarian or breeder. This is really an individual thing. Nutrition takes a huge place in the dog’s life and many things depending on nutrition.
⠀
⠀
⠀
🔸Physical Activity.
You can't imagine a proper dog’s life without physical activity. In addition, some breeds need it much more than the others. For example, we have a husky and a St. Bernard, first one needs much more physical activity, then the second one in order of dog’s needs. Nevertheless, everyone needs physical activity, only with a different amount for each breed.
⠀
⠀
⠀
🔸Brain activity.
A dog wants to have work. It wants to solve particular tasks that you give. This is a very exciting process for both: you and your dog. Without brain activity, it's impossible to imagine a full life of your pet.
⠀
⠀
⠀
🔸Social activity.
Unfortunately, many dog owners neglect this item, while it's no less important than the rest. A socialized dog knows how to react correctly to other dogs, people, it has a healthy psyche. A socialized dog is a happy dog. However, we need to understand, that such a thing as socialization needs to be approached very responsibly. It's not just let your pet go to play with other dogs without a leash.
⠀
⠀
⠀
🔸Self-control. Each dog needs to develop self-control. What does it mean? It means that it's necessary to teach the dog to make the right decisions on her own. We need to develop a sense of safety and calm for the dog. A dog that knows how to control itself knows that it doesn't need to behave inappropriately in order to get what it wants. Everything works in the opposite way. And this is not the trait that some dogs have and some of them don't. It is only your hard work as the owner.

Clicker and marker word.
⠀
⠀
❓What is it?
Clicker, this is a device with a button that makes a loud click.
⠀
⠀
❓What for?
Let’s say that we’re learning the “sit” command. And from all the actions that dog is doing, (dog is watching you, looking somewhere, sits, stands, taking a treat) we’re “marking” the right one. In this particular situation we will mark the EXACT MOMENT when dog’s butt just touched the ground. That’s how we will point at the action that we want the dog to do.
⠀
⠀
❓Then what means marker word?
This is the same thing, only now you’re creating yourself this intermediate link between the command and the delicacy! And this word should be very short and clear! For example, "Yes!" ”Yep” (I do not know what can be shorter than this).
⠀
⠀
⠀
❗️Everything is simple!
These two devices (clicker and your “yes!”) help the dog track at what moment it did what you wanted! Just remember that you should use the word \ clicker in THE EXACT MOMENT that the dog did what you wanted!
⠀
⠀
⠀
🤔What’s the difference? Someone says that the clicker is more effective because it makes sound much faster and more clearly (here I agree), on the other hand, the dog comes to your delight more than the clicker, and in time, you can already work with no treats, only with a marker word. Plus, some dogs just don't like the clicker sound.
⠀
⠀
⠀
👍🏻One way or another, this is a very useful tool for training! Anyone still not using a clicker or a marker- try it! You will see how the learning process will accelerate.

Why do you need to brush your dog’s teeth?
⠀ ⠀
In addition to general things, like training and proper nutrition, one of the most important things is that you need to take care of dog’s health, which includes brushing the dog’s teeth.
⠀ ⠀
Starting from 1 year of age, you should brush your dog’s teeth every day, or at least every other day.
⠀ ⠀ ❓Why?
Many dog owners think that it’s not necessary, because “well, you know, it’s a dog...,” but in fact that is a big mistake. If you don’t take care of dog’s teeth from an early age, then in the future you will have big problems, such as: by 4-5 years, periodontal disease may begin, which can lead to tooth loss.You will be very lucky if you will need just an ultrasonic cleaning once per half a year, but this procedure is not cheap. If you want a healthy dog and to save a decent amount of money in the future, you must form a habit of brushing your dog's teeth.
⠀ ⠀ ❓How?
There are a lot of lessons on YouTube, but the most basic thing is: you need to know that you can replace a dog’s toothbrush with a regular children's soft toothbrush. Dog toothpaste can also be bought at every pet store.
⠀ ⠀
At first this is a very stressful moment for the dog, so you need to start with brushing front teeth only, and only after the dog gets used to the procedure, start brushing back teeth too. Do not forget to make this process as positive and cheerful as possible: always praise your dog while brushing their teeth and give them time to adapt.
⠀
⠀
❗️Not all the dogs are prone to teeth problems, it’s always individual, but it’s always better to take a proper care of your dog’s health.

Positive and negative reinforcement.
⠀
⠀
Dog training can be provided in two ways: positive and negative reinforcement. ⠀
With positive reinforcement we encourage dog’s good behavior, and with negative reinforcement we’re punishing the dog for unwanted behavior.
⠀
⠀
But I am so against the second option! I don’t want to tell people that obedience can be achieved through aggressive domination. Because there are other methods, and they WORK! And more than that, they work really great!
⠀
⠀
Your dog is your friend and partner, and you need to be the same for your dog as well. It means that your dog needs to trust you, and you should give your dog proper physical activity, brain activity and social activity.

Why is it better not to pronounce the name of the dog with negative intonation.
⠀
⠀
It’s pretty common thing: dog does something that you don’t like, and you are immediately screaming : “Poly, (let's take this name🤷🏻‍♀️) stop! Poly! What the hell are you doing?!”
⠀
⠀
When you’re using a dog’s name in a negative context, you give her a good reason to ignore your commands.In other words, why should dog come to you and respond the very first time, if her name is associated with a bad thing?
⠀
⠀
If you accustom a dog to the fact, that it’s name = only positive emotions, you will make the process of training much easier for both of you, because every time you need dog’s attention, by pronouncing name positively you will able to switch dog’s focus from a distractions to you, which is your main goal.
⠀
⠀
At the same time, it is quite difficult, because "Well, how else can I quickly attract her attention and show, that I don’t like what it’s doing?”
⠀
⠀
Every time a situation occurs where you want to make it clear to the dog that it should not do something, replace her name with words that attract attention. "Hey!" Is the great option, but you can imagine something else, just use some short word. And if you’ve already for a long time been actively using negative intonation with the dog’s name, try to work on encouraging your pet every time it responds to its name.
