How to show a pet dog to put his toys away – raar – de meest sexy lingerie die ik bezit is eigenlijk het meest comfortabel
March 15, 2022 by rxjqm
Note: thanks to Jon Dunkerly for sharing his training experience.
As a visually impaired person I must be a lot more vigilant when it pertains to making sure the floor is clear of anything that could cause pain when stepped on – marrow bones being the best example. Lars is absolutely spoiled when it pertains to the number of bones he has, but to my chagrin, he tends to leave them all over which results in me stepping on them and vowing to show him to put his stuff away!
Teaching Lars to put his toys away, for me, was a very crucial aspect of his training because it would indicate my floor would be complimentary of land mines. I have lost count how lots of times I’ve stubbed my toes on the silly things. I can just imagine Lars quietly lying down viewing me walk around, snickering to himself as he sees me approaching a bone and hitting it with my foot.
So I thought to myself, how easy would it be to show Lars to put his toys away? pretty easy, actually. He already knew all the needed steps. He just did not know the purchase I wanted him to do them.
As for myself, all I needed was something for my pet dog to put his toys in! Hmm … yes, I think this grocery box from country Grocer will do just fine, thank you very much!
Steps I followed to show my pet dog to put his toys away
When teaching a pet dog a skill that involves multiple steps, the easiest way to do it is to work backwards from the end of the skill to the beginning.
For example, I had to show Lars I wanted him to drop his bone in the box before I could show him to take his bone over to the box and drop it inside.
Here is the process I followed, starting with the basics:
1. show the pet dog to take a toy from the box.
First, I put all of Lars’s toys in the box. If he wanted one to chew on, he would have to go to the box and retrieve one.
2. show the pet dog to drop the toy in the box.
When Lars picked a toy from the box, I would not let him leave with it. Instead, I asked him to drop it while making sure he dropped it back in the box.
Why did he master this step so quickly?
First of all, Lars knows the “drop it” command. When I give the “drop it” command he will drop whatever he is holding.
Second, by not letting him drop it anywhere other than the box, he learned exactly where I wanted him to drop it. When he started doing this, I treated him and fussed over him, so he knew what a good kid he was being!
3. add a lot more time.
The a lot more ready Lars was to drop the bone when I told him, the longer I would have him stand with the bone in his mouth before asking him to drop it. another alternative for gratifying Lars when he dropped the bone in the box was to click and treat, as he is very aware of what the clicker is. I just am not the greatest proponent of it.
As Lars became a lot more ready to drop the bone back in the box upon grabbing it from the box, I allowed him to step away from the box with the bone in his mouth. At this stage, I made sure he was very interested in that bone, because he may lose interest and just drop it on the floor and step on. One way of keeping him very focused on the bone was to cover it with a scent he loves like peanut butter.
5. show the pet dog to go to the box and drop the toy in it.
When Lars graduated to moving away from the box with the bone in his mouth, I never let him stray too far from the box. The even more he was away from the box when I ask him to drop it, the harder it would’ve been for me to coax him to actually drop it back in the box.
For example, I would let him take the bone from the box and step a few meters away. I would then stop him, not allowing him to lie down with it, and command him to drop it. At the same time I gave the command, I would direct him back to the box with a hand on his collar and the other hand under his chin to keep his mouth closed to insure he did not simply drop it on the floor.
6. keep adding a lot more distance and time.
As Lars grasped the concept of dropping his bone back in his toy box when he was done chewing, I would allow him to venture even more from his box with his bone. He often likes to take his bone away to his own bed for a chew, only later to bring it out again and drop it wherever.
In cases where he simply left the bone on the ground and did not appear interested in putting it back where it was “supposed to go,” I physically put it in his mouth, directed him to his box like I discussed above and instructed him to laat vallen. often dogs simply need to be shown hands on what you want them to do, and this is a best example.
Lars also knows the get it command, and I often use it when I want him to get his tug rope or bone, which gives me another way of apProching van de situatie wanneer hij het bot laat vallen en wegloopt.
Consistentie is hier de naam van het spel en ik was zeer consistent toen het betrof het uitvoeren van regelmatige trainingssessies met Lars tot aan zijn speelgoeddoos.
Immers, hij leert deze vaardigheid aangegeven dat ik ook zou profiteren!
Aan de andere kant, misschien als er geen zes of zeven botten waren in verschillende stadia van de ruïne, zou ik niet op hen alle verdomde tijd lopen!
