Chinese Garden Dog
The Chinese Garden Dog is what the Chinese call native dog (also known as grass dog, vegetable dog Dogs, meat dogs, Shiba Inu, stupid dogs), people often despise them because of their popularity and their names. In fact, they look very cute, and if they are carefully raised, they will not be weaker than other dogs. (It is said that after being introduced by the Japanese and bred according to standards, they became famous dogs, such as Akita dogs, etc.)
The Chinese Garden Dog was obtained through natural and artificial selection for thousands or even tens of thousands of years in China. It is said that this kind of dog was used by Qin Shihuang to unify the Central Plains. Among the Han people, people call them "local dogs", which as the name suggests, are dogs from the local area; some places in the north are also called "Chai Dogs" because the climate in the north is cold, and dogs usually nest next to firewood stoves or firewood piles; in the east, Jiangsu and Zhejiang The Shanghai area is generally called "grass dog" because local farmers will keep one or two such dogs in their homes to watch the house as companions, and their main range of activities during the day is grassland and other places.
A native dog
The definition of a native dog refers to a specialty dog ??breed in a certain region, which is suitable for the local climate characteristics and is easier to survive independently than other types of dogs. For example, people in Western Europe often The Labrador is a local native dog, just like the Nordic or Alaskan sled is a native dog. Chinese native dogs are also known as "Chinese pastoral dogs", such as the big yellow dog in Chen Xiaochun's song, which is common throughout Southeast Asia. (Note: Not all native dogs in China can be called Chinese pastoral dogs. For example, Sichuan Eastern Dog, Shar Pei, Xiasi, etc. may also be called native dogs locally. And in some places, people are not strict in calling native dogs. , as long as they are not pet dogs, wolf dogs, and dogs that can be clearly seen as hybrids of two kinds of dogs, they are called native dogs.)
The Chinese Pastoral Dog does not have any pedigree. International standard, in fact, this is just a name for the original ecological male parent of Chow Chow, and there is a bloodline standard for Chow Chow.
Historical origin
The ancestors of the Chinese Garden Dog are similar to other dog breeds. They are derived from Southeast Asian wolves, while the Chinese native dogs are closer to the appearance of wolves, with short muzzles and flat foreheads. . It is widely distributed geographically, mainly in the low-altitude Han gathering areas south of the Great Wall, east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and centered on the Central Plains. It is the product of the agricultural social background of the Chinese Han people for thousands of years.
This kind of distribution definition is very important. It makes it clear that the living environment of the Chinese Garden Dog is a low-altitude farming society area. The environment is warm and people live mainly on food. Therefore, it has a medium size and moderate hair length. They are not very carnivorous, their diet is omnivorous, and their characteristics are that they are coarse and not delicate. Of course, along with the continuous migration of the Han nationality for thousands of years, the distribution range of Chinese garden dogs is also constantly expanding. For example, in Northeast China, due to the immigration of Han people, there are many pastoral dogs in the countryside that are different from the pastoral areas in Northeast China, and some of them have been hybridized with dog breeds from other regions to form new breeds. But one thing is certain that the Chinese Garden Dog is a product of the farming society in the Central Plains of China.
As for the origin of the Chinese Garden Dog, it should have followed the Han nationality in migrating from the northern region in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River to all parts of China today. Chinese Garden Dogs are distributed in the north and south, but regardless of the cold north or the hot south, the Garden Dogs have beautiful long-haired and large curly tails. These are the characteristics of northern dog breeds.
When distinguishing Chinese garden dogs from other dog breeds, the distinction should be made based on the living environment of the regional ethnic group and the local culture. For example, some friends have mentioned that the Liangshan Dog should be regarded as a Chinese pastoral dog. However, the Liangshan Dog is a breed from high-altitude and cold ethnic minority areas. Although its body shape is similar to that of a pastoral dog, its wildness, hair quality, and head shape are not the same. It is a breed that is more accepting of Tibetan dogs. In particular, the long-haired Liangshan dog looks very much like a Tibetan dog. Its forehead is wide, its ears are low, and its ears are large and completely collapsed. In our eyes, the "local dog" (Chinese pastoral dog) has a head shape that is flat, narrow, and has ears. It is difficult to see a tall dog with small ears that are upright or semi-upright (semi-drooped), so Liangshan should not be considered one of the Chinese garden dogs. The Eastern Sichuan Hound and the Xiasi Dog are two very famous dog breeds in China. Compared with most pastoral dogs, their physical appearance is very different, and both of them should belong to minority dog ??breeds. The East Sichuan Hound may belong to the ancient Ba people, and the Xiasi Dog is from the Miao ethnic group, so neither should be classified as a Chinese Pastoral Dog. Some people say that the Hubei Arrow Dog is very similar to the Taiwanese native dog, but if you look closely, you will find that it is closer to the Eastern Sichuan Hound. Many physical features are very similar to the Eastern Sichuan Hound. In particular, it has the same bamboo shoot tail as the Eastern Sichuan Hound. Not seen in other dog breeds. There is also the Hunan bearded dog, which should be of the same origin as the Xiasi dog, so the Hubei arrow-haired and bearded dog are not among the Chinese pastoral dogs.
Origin of the name
The Autumn Official Book of "Zhou Li" records: There are three kinds of dogs, one is the field dog, the other is the barking dog, and the third is the food dog. It can be seen that the classification of dogs in ancient China was mostly based on function, and did not focus on the appearance of the dog. Due to different abilities, the best dogs that can hunt become field dogs, and those that are not able to hunt but are still ferocious can become guard barking dogs. If they are no longer useful, they will only be eaten by people. Such manual screening means that the dog breeds commonly found in China do not have fixed pedigrees.
The traditional Chinese culture, which is dominated by the Han people, ignores dogs and the dog culture of modern society turns a blind eye to this dog breed. This makes the dog breed that has been running on the land of China for more than 5,000 years not even have a decent name. None, they are called native dogs by the people. "Tu dog" literally means "local dog" and cannot be the name of a dog, so the current name and concept of "Chinese pastoral dog" emerged.
Definition of standard strains
Distribution of Chinese Garden Dogs Chinese Garden Dogs are widely distributed in rural areas of Han China. Due to factors such as region, environment and blood relationship, many different strains and subspecies have been formed. . Based on the analysis of the dog's appearance characteristics and distribution area, Chinese garden dogs can be roughly divided into three major strains, namely the northern strain, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang strains, and the Guangdong and Guangxi strains.
Note: The three major strains are the result of macroscopic analysis. There must be some unique subspecies appearing in many small places. There is also a large part of the border zone between the distribution areas of these three major strains, and the dogs here also appear as transitional breeds. The distribution area of ??the three major strains is in the shape of a triangle, with a large blank area in the middle, mainly in Hubei and Hunan. Whether the pastoral dogs in this area are independent strains or transitional varieties needs further research and demonstration.
1. Northern Breeds
Northern Folded-eared Dogs are distributed from the northeast - the Yellow River Basin - the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River - the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (excluding minority areas), in a diagonal line from the northeast to the southwest. line distribution. Although the environmental differences in this vast area are huge, especially the different climates between the north and the south, which result in different dog sizes and different hair textures, the appearance of the dog breeds in this area is very similar. For example: the mutt dog commonly known as the Northeastern dog is almost identical in appearance to the native dog in Sichuan, except that the Northeastern dog is larger and has thicker hair and is more cold-resistant; the Sichuan native dog is smaller and has thick and sparse hair in order to adapt to the humid climate in the south. . Interestingly, the distribution area of ??this strain exactly matches the distribution of the northern language family of Han Chinese.
Its characteristics are: more miscellaneous coats, fewer dogs with solid-colored hair, and mainly front-sloped ears (the so-called "front-sloped ears" refer to the fact that the ears are placed high on the top of the head, making the In a relaxed state, the ears naturally hang down toward the front of the head), and they often have long hair and a large curly tail, retaining more characteristics of northern dog breeds.
Northern folded-eared dog (ears half-folded in front, majestic appearance, is a good watchdog)
2. Jiangsu and Zhejiang strains
Su dogs are mainly distributed in In Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui, the characteristics of dog breeds in this area are: large, upright ears, high ears, full inner ear hair, pointed mouths and slender limbs, mostly white abdominal hair, fewer mixed-haired dogs, and medium-long hair. Slim fit and fine.
The dogs in this area are very similar to the dogs in Japan and Korea, and may be closely related to the frequent foreign exchanges in the East China Sea in ancient China. It is not only the spread of Chinese culture to the outside world, but also various Chinese products, including domestic animals and dogs, are also brought to these places. Su dogs (distributed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, with erect ears, wolf-like heads, and a more serious appearance )
3. Guangxi and Guangxi strains
The distribution area of ??Guangxi dogs is centered in Guangdong, including parts of Guangxi and Fujian. The dog breeds in this area are also the most well-known to everyone. Many excellent dog breeds originated here, such as Shar-pi, Chaoshan Datou, and Guangdong Chow. This has a lot to do with the unique dog culture in Guangdong and Guangxi. These excellent dog breeds also have a deep connection with the local pastoral dogs, and they have more or less similar blood sources and appearance characteristics.
Excluding these breeds, we only look at pastoral dogs. Their characteristics are: the coat color is mainly solid and single-color, and there are very few mixed-haired dogs; due to the hot climate, the dogs are mainly short-haired (but some Dogs with particularly long and thick hair exist); their ears are small and erect, their tongues often have black or flowery tongues, and their bodies are thick and muscular. (Due to the above-mentioned appearance characteristics and the large number of Guangdong Chow Chows distributed in this area, it is suspected that the dogs in Guangdong and Guangxi are greatly influenced by the Chow Chow bloodline.) Guangxi Dog (Guangxi native dog, group hound, standing dog) Ear, flower tongue or black tongue often used for hunting wild boar). [2]
Appearance characteristics
Chinese Garden Dog Appearance (21 photos) There are also small morphological differences between Chinese Garden Dogs in different regions, but they all have the same characteristics Main features. Some friends think that pastoral dogs vary greatly from place to place, and their free breeding genetics are unstable, as if they have no characteristics. In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can still find their uniqueness. When you casually recognize a so-called "country dog", you can already identify a pastoral dog by its characteristics, but most people have not specifically extracted the unique characteristics of these pastoral dogs. . Just like Tibetan Mastiffs, individual differences are also very large. Some people say that Tibetan Mastiffs are genetically unstable, but when you see a Tibetan Mastiff, you can easily tell that it is a Tibetan Mastiff, which means that its personality is greater than that of the individual. Differently, the same is true for Chinese Garden Dogs.
Head: The head characteristics are closer to the appearance of its ancestor wolf, with a pointed mouth, short mouth and flat forehead.
Ears: The ears are high, small and erect or semi-erect. Semi-erect ears are semi-drooped towards the front of the head. (Unlike some other dog breeds with large ears that collapse to both sides of the head)
Tail: The tail is tilted upward, especially when walking, with golden tail and sickle tail being the most common. host. (Obviously different from the straighter and drooping tail of most Western dog breeds)
Hind legs: When standing still, the hind legs are obviously very straight and perpendicular to the ground, and the ankle joint is not obviously bent. (Especially compared with the curved hind leg ankle joints of most Western dog breeds)
Coat: Mainly medium hair, thick hair, easy to keep clean. Colors include yellow, white, black, and mixed colors.
Physique: The body is well-proportioned and compact; medium in size, with a length-to-shoulder-height ratio of approximately 1:1. The hind legs are straight and almost perpendicular to the ground, making the entire body square.
Adaptability
The Chinese Garden Dog is our native dog in China. As the name suggests, the native dog refers to a specialty dog ??breed in a certain area. It is suitable for the local climate characteristics and is more durable than other types of dogs. Easily surviving independently, the Chinese Garden Dog is common throughout Southeast Asia.
Edit this paragraph's living habits
It has a relatively docile personality and is not prone to aggressive attacks on humans. It can live in groups, is highly territorial, is easy to raise, has high loyalty, and is not prone to skin diseases. It was widely used for housekeeping and early hunting in rural areas.
Edit this section on the development of dog breeds
Due to the special culture of the Han nationality, the authentic farm dog, the Chinese pastoral dog, has never been taken seriously. For a long time, it has been almost natural selection and free breeding. Due to special historical and cultural factors, their number has also decreased sharply in recent years.
In recent years, the introduction of a large number of foreign dog breeds, their gorgeous appearance and precious bloodlines have made the situation of Chinese pastoral dogs even worse. Moreover, the free-ranging of foreign species has led to their hybridization with free-ranging pastoral dogs, which has also threatened the purity of the Chinese pastoral dog bloodline. Although a dog cannot be judged to be noble or inferior based on its bloodline, wouldn't it be sad if it is not protected so that future generations will not know the original appearance of the Chinese Pastoral Dog?
Simple diagnostic method for puppies (1)
1. Mental state: Chinese Garden Dog
Healthy dogs are lively and cute, energetic and flexible. His eyes are alert, and his ears often move with the sound. Even when sleeping, he is always alert. When he hears the slightest movement, he will listen with his ears straight and his eyes stare in the direction of the movement, showing a very special expression. A clever state of mind.
If the dog has dull or half-closed eyes, is unwilling to move, prefers to lie still, has slow or unresponsive ears to external stimuli, has an indifferent expression, or is even in a lethargic state, these are all symptoms. A state of nervous depression, called depression or coma. Some sick dogs are excited and restless, running around indoors and outdoors, frightened, screaming loudly, often walking aimlessly, spinning in circles, and even biting various objects. This mental state is called mental excitement or mania. The above two mental states are abnormal mental manifestations.
2. Nutritional status:
To determine the nutritional status of a dog, mainly observe the body condition and coat. A healthy dog ??should be moderately fat and thin, with plump and strong muscles, and a smooth and shiny coat, giving people a sense of comfort after looking at it. If the dog is emaciated, has weak muscles, rough, matte and dry coat, and inverted tail hair, it is often a symptom of parasitic disease, skin disease, chronic digestive tract disease or certain infectious diseases.
3. Posture:
If the dog’s limbs are stiff when standing or walking, and dare not bear weight. If the dog’s limbs are weak and weak when standing or walking, it indicates abnormality in the limbs. If the dog's body is curled up when lying down, its head is placed under the abdomen, or it lies in an unnatural position and turns from time to time, it indicates abdominal pain.
4. Body temperature:
Under normal living conditions, the body temperature of healthy dogs is maintained within a certain range. It is usually low in the morning and slightly higher in the afternoon. The temperature difference between day and night is average. It does not exceed 1°C. If it exceeds 1°C or is higher in the morning and lower in the afternoon, it indicates that the body temperature is abnormal. The normal body temperature of healthy dogs is: 38.5~39°C for puppies and 37.5~38.5°C for adult dogs. A simple way to determine a dog's fever is to analyze the dog's nose and ears and mental state. A normal dog's nose is cool and moist, and the skin temperature at the base of the ears is the same as that of other parts. If it is found that the end of the dog's nose (nose) is dry and hot, the skin temperature at the base of the ears is higher than that of other parts, the dog is listless, has poor appetite and has increased thirst, it indicates that the dog has a high body temperature. In most infectious diseases, inflammation of the respiratory tract, digestive tract and other organs, and sunstroke and heat stroke, the body temperature rises. In poisoning, severe failure, malnutrition, anemia and other diseases, the body temperature often drops.
The most accurate way to measure body temperature is with a thermometer. When measuring the temperature, the mercury column of the thermometer should be thrown below 35°C, wiped with alcohol cotton balls for disinfection, and a small amount of lubricant (liquid paraffin) should be applied. The dog should be properly restrained by an assistant, and the person measuring the temperature should lift the tail slightly. Slowly insert the thermometer into the anus. After inserting, be sure to prevent the thermometer from falling off. You can take it out in about 3 minutes and read the temperature. When the dog is excited, nervous and exercised, the rectal temperature may increase slightly.
Simple diagnostic method (2)
(1) Respiratory status: The dog must be observed in a quiet state . Checking the respiratory status should include the number of breaths, breathing patterns and whether breathing is difficult.
(1) Breath count: Generally measured based on the ups and downs of the chest and abdomen. The rise and fall of the chest and abdomen together is one breath. It can also be measured based on exhaled airflow in cold seasons. The respiratory rate of a healthy dog ??is 15 to 30 times per minute. The respiratory rate is often affected by certain physiological factors and external conditions. For example, the respiratory rate of puppies is slightly higher than that of adult dogs, and that of pregnant dogs is higher than that of non-pregnant bitches. It can often increase many times, especially during exercise or excitement. In addition, changes in temperature and seasons can also affect changes in respiratory rate.
(2) Breathing style: The normal breathing style of dogs is chest breathing. If the abdominal wall moves more obviously than the chest wall during breathing (abdominal breathing) or the chest wall and abdominal wall move at the same time (thoracic-abdominal breathing), it indicates a disease in the chest or abdomen, such as pleurisy, pleural effusion, or rib fractures.
(3) Respiratory rhythm: Checking the dog’s respiratory rhythm is also important for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. The normal breathing of a healthy dog ??is an accurate and rhythmic alternating movement, that is, inhalation is followed by exhalation. After each breath, after a short intermission period, the next breath is taken again, and so on again and again, very regularly. So it is called rhythmic breathing. Rhythm disorder is an abnormal phenomenon. However, the respiratory rhythm of healthy dogs can undergo temporary changes due to excitement, exercise, fear, screaming, sniffing, etc., and should be distinguished from pathological changes. Pain, hypoxia, nerve excitement and substantial lung disease may cause pathological increases in frequency. Frequency decreases during toxic coma. In encephalitis and toxemia, the frequency may be faster or slower (tidal breathing).
When a sick dog opens its mouth, straightens its head and neck, moves its ribs upward and expands its elbows outward when breathing, it is dyspnea caused by airway obstruction. If the sick dog's breathing is shallow and the number of breaths increases, it indicates that the lungs cannot fully expand, which is common in rib fractures, pneumonia, pneumothorax or pleurisy. Difficulty breathing may also occur when the respiratory tract is compressed or blocked by foreign bodies or tumors and becomes narrowed.
(2) Nasal secretions: There is almost no secretion from the nose of healthy dogs. When dogs have a cold or respiratory inflammation, secretions often flow from the nostrils. The nature of the secretions is serous (clear nasal discharge) or mucus. When there is purulent inflammation, the nasal secretions can be purulent (purulent nasal discharge), or may be mixed with blood or fine foam. The amount of secretion often changes with the degree of inflammation. Sometimes nasal secretions are not visible and may have been licked or wiped away by the dog. But when the condition is serious, he no longer licks his nostrils.
Edit this paragraph Puppy Personality Test
It is difficult for ordinary people to predict what will happen to puppies after they grow up. Therefore, choosing a dog that suits you may be as much a matter of luck as gambling. So some people will simply choose famous breed dogs to raise, but the dragon has nine sons and they are all different, so it is understandable that it is difficult to choose a dog. Since it is difficult to decide how to choose, some people just pick up one of them just because they like it. What will be the result?
When we see a litter of puppies, if we find that they have roughly the same appearance, the one that pleases us the most is of course the one that automatically comes to shake its head, wag its tail, wrap its feet and lick its hands. However, if you choose it, you may find it difficult to control later, leaving you at a loss as a first-time dog owner. On the contrary, the shy person who hides and sneaks behind at the beginning, although most of them are unattractive, may be a good companion for those who value a quiet life.
In addition, time also has an impact on the selection of puppies. For example, after feeding a full meal, the strongest one is often the one that eats the most. After eating, it will naturally become sleepy and ignore you. Pay attention; on the contrary, the ones who come out to receive a warm welcome are often the little guys who are soft-tempered, can't compete with others, and don't eat enough. Experienced breeders can judge the behavior of the puppies when they are only about a month old. Observe and evaluate their general personality, but this is not an objective standard test that is suitable for all dogs or for everyone's reference. Based on years of research results, a group of British experts designed a set of "puppy test" methods, which are applied in seven It has been proven to be very effective and can be used as a more objective reference. Perhaps in addition to the pedigree certificate, future puppies may also have a "puppy test" score sheet. . The test lasts for half to one hour. The method is to take the puppy to a strange and quiet place without any distractions during the time when the puppy is most active. The test includes eleven items, each item The scores range from one to six:
1. Social ability
The tester kneels a distance in front of the puppy and calls the puppy to come. If the puppy raises its tail, If you run straight towards it, it will definitely be a confident and social dog; as for a dog with an independent personality, it may be indifferent; while a timid puppy may come but with a hesitant attitude and its tail hanging down.
2. Following
The tester first stands up and walks slowly to attract the puppies to follow him. Puppies with strong self-confidence will actively follow; while strong ones will run ahead. , or stumbling; the timid ones will hesitate and stop walking, and the independent ones will go elsewhere.
3. Suppression
Turn the puppy on the ground with its legs in the air, press its chest with one hand, use slight force to restrict it from moving, and stare into its eyes with both eyes. half a minute. At this time, the strong ones will struggle hard without fear in their eyes, while the timid ones will be submissive and have wandering eyes.
This test is extremely important, and the strongest puppies are only suitable for experienced people.
4. Tolerance
After completing the suppression test, immediately put the puppy in front of you, gently stroke it all over the body, talk to it gently, and lower your head so that it can Licking the subject's face. It is more difficult to train a dog that does not forget that it was suppressed just now and is not tolerant.
5. Improvement
Hold the puppy in front of your chest with both arms and stand up for half a minute; the purpose is to test how it copes with uncontrollable circumstances. If it can lie down comfortably, Puppies that are weak will be more likely to adapt to unfamiliar environments when they grow up; on the contrary, puppies that are constantly struggling will also be unwilling to accept human dominance when they grow up.
6. Retrieval
Crush a piece of paper into a ball and throw it a few feet in front of the puppy. Usually its reaction will be:
(1 ) runs to the paper ball, picks it up, and walks back with the encouragement of the tester. This will be a good dog that is easy to train.
(2) The dog has little interest in the paper balls or even walks away. This dog is less trainable.
(3) Holding the paper ball in his mouth, he walked to the corner and chewed and played alone. This independent dog will need an experienced trainer in the future. While this test is important in selecting a working dog, it is also useful in testing whether it is friendly to humans.
The last two ratings for the Standard Pastoral Puppy are based on the puppy's stability and energy level, and are scored based on its performance in each of the above tests. Each item is scored from one to six points, with the strongest person getting one point; conversely, the most cowardly person gets six points.
If the puppy scores one point in each test, of course this is extremely rare. It has a strong desire to dominate and can even be aggressive, so it is not an ideal family pet dog. . Puppies that score the most two points in each center are also very dominant, but can become excellent companions and excellent working dogs with proper training. The puppy with the most three points has a lively and outgoing personality, and is definitely an excellent dog for obedience training. It is most suitable for first-time dog owners. The puppy with the most four points is very happy to get along with people, especially with people. A harmonious companion of children, it is a good choice as a family pet dog. Puppies that score the most five points are more sensitive and lack self-confidence. They are good chairside companions for elderly couples who have few requirements, like a quiet life, or have dogs purely for companionship.
Edit this section to test the sense of touch
The Chinese Garden Dog pinches the webbing between the middle toes of the puppy's front feet with his thumb and index finger, and counts the numbers from one to ten in his mouth, while The fingers gradually increase the intensity accordingly; if the puppy has struggled violently at the beginning, it will be overly sensitive to collars, restraints and training in the future; and dogs that struggle at the highest intensity need a tough trainer.
Hearing
The sound-producing instrument first makes a loud sound and then hides it in a corner - usually a metal cover or the like. After a sound, the puppy will often be frightened. If it does not respond, take it to the veterinarian immediately to check whether it is a deaf dog. If the puppy can quickly return to normal and can investigate the source of the sound, that is A dog with excellent head sensitivity. A dog that is frightened and avoids the source of sound may not be suitable for a noisy family.
Visual
Choose some strips of cloth and wave them in front of the puppies. The confident puppies will quietly study what they are; the brave ones will try to bite them; as for the timid ones, they will already Hiding.
Edit this training method
[3] Training does not mean reprimanding. This is very important. In human society, scolding children can easily cause them to develop a rebellious mentality, not to mention Chinese garden dogs who cannot speak with others. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the effect of training Chinese Garden Dogs only by scolding, and it will lead to the other extreme, making Chinese Garden Dogs untrustworthy.
Some people believe that verbal lessons are less effective than corporal punishment. Therefore, when the Chinese Garden Dog is disobedient, kick it or hit it. In this way, for Chinese garden dogs, it threatens their life safety, so they have a rebellious mentality. In this way, the original purpose of training is lost. Although the Chinese Garden Dog is an intelligent animal, it cannot learn it immediately after being taught it once. Rather, it should be taught patiently over and over again. It is necessary to put an end to a series of bad behaviors such as reprimands and corporal punishment. Those who are good at training Chinese Garden Dogs often make Chinese Garden Dogs understand that they are happiest and safest with their owners.
In order to prevent the Chinese Garden Dog from being confused by the family’s orders, or from doubting the rules and feeling uneasy, the whole family should have a unified opinion.
(1) The whole family comes together to formulate a unified rule. Reach a unified standard on what training Chinese garden dogs can and cannot do. For example, on questions such as whether Chinese Garden Dogs can sit on the sofa, a unified answer must be formed based on the different environments and conditions of each family. If it is a rule made jointly by the whole family. There are no obstacles to implementation.
(2) Passwords must use the same language. In obedience training, the password is the signal for the Chinese Garden Dog to obey. Therefore, the whole family should use unified passwords to achieve good results. For example, when asking a Chinese Garden Dog to sit down, whether to use sit, squat or sit down, the whole family should use the same command. Short, clearly pronounced sentences are easier for Chinese Garden Dogs to understand. Therefore, try to choose sentences of this type.
(3) When reprimanding a Chinese Garden Dog, do not call the Chinese Garden Dog by its name. When the Chinese Garden Dog does something that cannot be done, have you ever scolded the Chinese Garden Dog by its name, for example: Dongdong, you bad thing? In this way, it creates a conditioned reflex for the Chinese Garden Dog. When his name is called, he will definitely be scolded. Therefore, when the name of the Chinese Garden Dog is called again, it will ignore it or even run away. During the training process, calling the Chinese Garden Dog’s name should be limited to giving orders or praising the Chinese Garden Dog. In this way, the Chinese Garden Dog will think that the name is a very happy thing for it. When you call it, it will immediately run to you.
