Dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings. They accompany us through every stage of our lives and bring us endless joy and warmth. Sometimes we feel it’s difficult to communicate with dogs because they don’t understand us. However, there are ways to help us communicate better with dogs and let them understand our words. Here are some specific methods.
Dogs have an IQ equivalent to a two or three-year-old child, so they cannot understand complex language and sentence structures. Therefore, when communicating with dogs, we should use simple and clear language, such as "sit down", "stay here", "come here", etc. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the tone, make the tone appear friendly and gentle, and do not make the dog feel scared or nervous.
Reward Training
Reward Training is a very effective method that can help dogs establish correct behavior patterns. During training, we can use some snacks or dog’s favorite toys as a reward to encourage them to do the behavior we want. For example, when dogs understand our words and make corresponding actions, we can give them rewards, so that dogs will be more willing to obey our instructions.
Build trust
Build trust with dogs is very important because they need to trust us so that we don’t feel scared or nervous. We can interact and communicate more with dogs, give them some caress and attention, and let them feel our love and care. At the same time, we must respect the personality and habits of dogs and do not force them to do things they don’t like, as this will make them trust us more.
Using body language
Body language is a very effective way of communication that allows dogs to better understand our intentions. For example, we can use gestures to instruct the dog to sit down, stay here, come over, etc. At the same time, we can also understand their emotions and needs by observing their body language, such as saying that they are happy to see us when they wag their tails.
Practice more
If you want your dog to understand our words, it is very important to practice more. We can repeat instructions many times in our daily life to make our dogs gradually familiar with and understand our language. At the same time, we can also increase some difficulty in games and training, allowing dogs to constantly challenge themselves and improve their understanding and execution abilities.
Through the above methods, we can help dogs understand our words better and establish closer relationships. Remember, communicating with dogs requires us to be patient, kind and gentle so that we can be their best friends.
