So we should start with no stim, or tone .I have a 4 year old feral dog. He is bipolar.He is either frightened and jumpy or happy and playfulish. Definitely treat oriented. I have not trained him for the past year and 1/2 due to physical problems. Should i start over with the watch me command , on a leash ? He has many bad habits that my other two dogs are picking up. I plan on beginning with his training Any tips?.
Absolutely! It sounds like you're ready to start fresh with your feral dog's training journey, and that's fantastic! Starting with the "watch me" - You meant to have your dog's attention right? For this command a leash is not matter and the voice command itself neither :) All you need to do is holding the treat and wait for your dog's attention and eye-contact, once achieved praise him with a tasty treat, this will ease the process especially when your pup is treat-oriented, use high-value treats to reinforce positive behavior and to motivate him during training. Consistency is also vital, so try to incorporate short, frequent training sessions into your daily routine. It can help in capturing and maintaining his attention, which is crucial for obedience training. Given your dog's history and temperament, taking things slow and being patient will be key. Start training sessions in a calm environment with minimal distractions, gradually increasing the difficulty as your dog becomes more comfortable and responsive. And remember, every dog learns at their own pace, so celebrate small victories and be persistent. With time, patience, and positive reinforcement, you'll see progress in your dog's behavior and obedience. Good luck on your training journey!
