Any owner of a dog wants to see the obedient and loyal friend in the favourite. But dogs will not cope with the behavior, they need to be set on "a true right track". Experienced trainers for dogs as for us teachers, will help to cope with behavior problems on the street and at home. Having taken place in puppyish age of OKD, the adult dog will not behave on the street so that it will become a shame to the owner or it is terrible for it and for its safety on walk. For this purpose there is also OKD – to teach people to understand the animals and to operate surely them.
What is OKD?
The General Course of Training (GCT) is the system of exercises for dogs, directed to development of some conditioned reflexes. OKD pass dogs with the owners, and the trainer at the same time is a certain teacher for both of them.
OKD needs to be passed not only to large guard dogs, but average and small breeds of dog. From a well-mannered and obedient dog the owner will derive much more pleasure on walk, than from such about whom speak "what grew, grew". To be engaged in training of a dog it is necessary to begin with three-months age, and to pass OKD – from 7-8 months. These courses can be completed not only with a puppy, but also with an adult dog for which the main skills of good behavior are required. The earlier you with a dog will be engaged in this course of training, the you will save more nerves on walks.
What is necessary for OKD?
Good passing of a course will require some ammunition: - Collar. It is desirable that it was soft, wide and by the size of a neck of a dog. - Lead up to 2 meters long, 2 cm wide. Fashionable leads (roulette, chains and laces) do not approach. - A muzzle, a subject for the aport, a rug. All this is required for exercises. - Delicacies which lie in a separate bag. The same forage which the dog eats every day cannot be delicacy. Choose something tasty for a dog that he eats not every day (pieces of dried meat, stomachs, lungs).
What will teach on OKD to?
Having completed a training course, your dog will learn the general teams which will be required to it in life. Some teams are extremely important for its safety. So, to what learn on courses trainings? - on command "teeth" to show a bite; - to put on and take off a muzzle and at the same time not to be afraid of it; - to understand team "faugh" if before it favourite delicacy lies; - to bring the subject thrown at distance to the owner on command "апорт" and to give in a charge on command "give"; - to walk freely after team "walk"; at the same time the dog is allowed to have a rest from exercises and will get acquainted with other dogs; - to move nearby if the team is given "nearby". The dog at this exercise has to go in step with the owner and if that stopped – to sit down without team nearby. - to sit, lie, creep; - to go on the rug on command "place"; - to run up to the owner on command "to me", without being distracted by anything; - to overcome obstacles in the form of fences or ditches on command "barrier". In this exercise the owner a hand has to show that it is necessary to jump. - not to be afraid of loud sounds. For this purpose trainers use a starting gun, beginning to shoot from it for 15 meters and over time approaching a dog.
How do OKD pass?
Classes in OKD last no more than 2 hours. At first new exercises, and then, after short walk are always carried out, repeat already studied. The number of exercises increases gradually. The dog should not be tired, she has to be interested in training. For adult dogs who did not take a course puppies the classes are given more intensively, and requirements to their performance are overestimated. Classes in OKD are most often given in group. It helps the trainer to use external irritants (foreign dogs, people, smells) for each dog. In the company of others the dog learns to behave correctly, and the owner - to control behavior of the favourite in lively places. Cases when the course of training does not help to solve a problem of behavior of an animal are frequent. Successful passing depends on many factors: communication of a dog and owner, their relation, duration of exercises and their repetitions, external irritants. In such difficult cases the trainer can appoint individual classes with a dog and the owner. There are practically no contraindications for OKD. But if your pet has problems with joints, sheaves or heart, then it is worth discussing some exercises with the trainer. Perhaps, he will suggest to remove exercises with barriers or others.
