What is the best way to teach a German shepherd dog to get something through the use of scent?
I always wanted to teach my dog to do this and I know he is capable. He is very intelligent and I am looking to continue their training. I know this is a difficult trick, so I want do well. Any advice? Also, how you teach him to bark on command? My dog is not a big windbag so this can be difficult. Does anyone knows?
You are right about the training to be a little difficult. You start with 4 or 5 small boxes or coffee cans. While your dog is sitting in stayed on the other side of the room to put a treat in one of the boxes or cans. Start with the dog watching places. After a few days of this taken into another room and hides the fly while he's not looking and then bring it to the room where everything is prepared and ask him to find and give a message of what you want he finds. Soon you will be able to give the envoy of something like the smell of a home visit that is hiding somewhere in the house. This is a long process, but this is the basis for training. Be sure to praise when he finds his subject. If it does, in fact, have the nose for him to learn fast. You can change objects in boxes or cans, you can use your favorite toy, cheese, a rose, some coffee that has an odor. But more importantly Siófok is the praise it receives after finding what it is asked to find. After a while things can only hide in the house or yard and ask her to find him. But they praise him like a dog the world more wonderful. Never forget the praise. At first, his reward was the fly that he hid, but as you will learn more for the cause of praise. You could even get on all fours and being in the eye to eye level and be equal. Play, have fun, use your name a lot. Have fun.
