冲动控制：管理小狗的疯狂行为…

听起来很冲动-幼犬和一些成年狗（也许太多？）缺乏适量的冲动控制，也就是很好的举止。一旦狗学会了冲动控制，从字面上看，随后发生的一切都变得更加容易，并且往往以更快的速度出现。我们人类往往会使饲养一只小狗变得比需要的复杂得多。
​
冲动控制甚至可以被称为分心管理，但更不用说和类型了，无论哪种方式，它都是一种技巧，可以帮助狗专注于并保持专注于某项任务，例如运行敏捷性课程，去当地的酒吧放松，进行一些野外工作，以及之间的所有要点。教狗这种技能不是’严苛，但确实需要一致性。
​
I’我猜您花了一点时间看这篇文章有多长时间，并且可能在考虑跳船，因为您认为您可能不需要阅读所有这些内容。一世’ll make you a deal. You are free and clear unless you answer 是 to one or more of the following questions. If you do, you need to make some time and read the whole thing. Here we go: Do you find yourself competing for your dog’注意吗？您的狗容易被其他狗或人分心吗？他比您更可能跟随他的鼻子吗？噪音或运动会使他兴奋吗？一世’我不是赌博人，但我’我猜你和我在一起很长一段时间，所以我’我会尽量简化这一过程。

You answered 是 , so 让’s get started.
像大多数事业一样，从切合实际的目标开始。您’ll need to break the process down into bite-sized pieces to keep from becoming discouraged or putting undue pressure on your pup. Secondly, you 不要’不需要任何特殊的工具或技能。如果你能说‘yes’脸上带着微笑，可以放一些‘high value’对待你已经准备好了。

自从我提到‘high value’ treats 让’迅速浏览一下侧边栏，以确保我们处在同一首乐曲中。您可以’坦率地说，是要让您的狗狗大吃一顿，还是坦率地说，大多数宠物店提供的高价物品都不是。’不够好（除非您当然需要低价值的待遇…）。我更喜欢用热狗。你可以用奶酪。我将它们纵向切割成两个切口（切成三段），然后旋转90度再切割两次（切成九段）。从那里将这些热狗条垂直切开，以制作出尽可能多的方形小块。基本上，任何接近铅笔橡皮擦大小的东西都太大。训练零食不需要太大就可以使用，它们需要小巧，美味，这只狗可以‘inhale’，并且对狗很有吸引力！

​First Step, The 名字游戏:
Alrighty, 让’s start small by having your pup nearby and your 高价值 treats in a small pouch by your side. You will begin the 名字游戏. Take your puppy and go to a quiet 地点 devoid of distraction, say pups name. When he looks at you, say ‘yes’马上请他– that’s it. It’s just that easy. If pup looks around a bit before he looks at you, that is 好的. Just be sure to expect this, and only say ‘yes’一旦他做了就治疗。如果需要重复他的名字，可以，但是要保持镇静，等待几秒钟后再重复。您必须避免使用以他的名字命名的机枪。一旦他明白了对你的期待，他就会获得奖励，然后再与他进行几次练习。随着他的进步，您可以逐渐增加远处的注意力，使用那些’t too enticing for him and as he progresses with the 名字游戏, you can ‘up’分心。这与我将在此处讨论的所有练习都以相同的方式应用。在的前几周  训练 don’t be shy with “loading the name” as many trainers call it, which means once he really gets it, and holding your eye, you can pump him up with a few extra treats and even add some verbal praise. Once he becomes bulletproof consistent with the 名字游戏, start to break up treating him by make treating him inconsistent and then less and less frequent. Be sure to always reward him with a ‘yes’，在早期阶段以及您逐渐减少食物奖励时。您总是可以高兴地肯定他的正确/适当的回答‘yes’如您所见。这种方法的关键 训练 works为幼犬提供了一个自主决定的机会，并使幼犬容易决定遵循领导的方式。的‘Name Game’除了教小狗说出他的名字时要看的东西外，还有几层。最终他的名字可以充当预备役‘command’ of sorts by 让ting him know something else is likely to follow. But for now, we just need to see how this progresses. Ultimately, pup might figure the game out quickly and decide to become pushy about his treat, this too is a great 坐uation and learning opportunity for pup. Always say ‘yes’ when he looks at you, but only treat pup when he is calm and looking at you (standing or 坐ting, whichever is what you want to reinforce). If he is being pushy just be calm, say and do nothing, simply wait him out. Give him a ‘yes’一旦他冷静下来并请客。最终，您将需要延长幼犬在被治疗之前看您的时间。确实没有必要为此花特别的训练时间，只需要片刻的思考和准备就可以了。随着幼崽进行此练习，尝试新的位置，并逐渐引入一些干扰。我们希望加强和推广这种联系。

​Getting more from the 名字游戏…
Bonus round one! While playing the 名字游戏, you may find that your pup chooses to move closer to you and offer to 坐 for you. Bookmark this, for after he has gotten a solid grip on the 名字游戏. Then one day, just as pup offers his ‘sit’, give him the verbal cue (aka for you Old Schoolers out there, the 命令, 坐), once he has sat, say ‘yes’和治疗。您现在开始建立新的关联。如果您碰巧没有请客，那么您将永远拥有‘yes’ handy. Remember, with 名字游戏 play, you have built an association with ‘yes’而且他认识并联系‘yes’赞美和奖励这就是我喜欢的‘knocking ‘em down’. 所有 these skills are all dovetailed together and building on one another making each skill easier to teach the next. Please resist your temptation to tussle pups ears and rub him up excitedly. This only adds energy to the 坐uation, and most likely to get pup bouncing around, or even more depending on how reactive your dog is. Remember we are teaching him how to be good citizen here –保持冷静，放心和愉快。你的狗会倾向于反映出你所散发出来的能量。

​从前门出来的小狗
就像有一个蹒跚学步的小狗一样，您需要在准备好之前就做好准备…这给了您优势。它使您有时间去做必要的事情；为了保持一致，将幼犬设置为获胜，然后您成为胜利者。所有这些都不需要屈伸肌肉！所以，你想带一只小狗‘领袖走’或将他上车…到门口抓住皮带。奇怪的是，小狗会像傻瓜一样反弹。如果你很着急，你’d be grabbing at him, telling him to 坐 fifteen or twenty times, and maybe even get a little bit frustrated. If so, all you have taught your dog in that moment is to act like a fool and that preparing to go is a game where not listening is 好的. The Leader Way would be to approach the door and grab the leash. Turn to the pup and wait. Don’一句话，不要鼓励。你可以冷静地说‘when you’re ready’ or my favorite, ‘好狗怎么办？’ – honestly it doesn’不管你说什么，什么’更重要的是您的语气。奇怪的是，他会冷静下来并可能坐下来做出反应。做好准备如果他没有’如果您很熟悉名称游戏并开始他的坐姿训练，那么与走出去建立联系就可以说出他的名字，然后看看会发生什么。无论哪种方式，一旦小狗在附近并坐下，‘sit’. Follow-up with ‘yes’ and then gently attach his leash. If your movement is too much for the 坐uation, just start from the top and take your time. It will not be long; he will 坐 calmly and allow you to leash him and without fanfare head out. Now he has learned how to go through the door and that you are in charge.

​塑造思想&引诱。一只手洗另一只手.
He will also begin to associate his actions with rewards and verbal cues and later on verbal cues with actions. Yup, the dog is 训练 himself, and you are only facilitating the experience. A big part of your job as handler is to simplify 坐uations by removing distractions and thereby improving the likelihood of pup making the correct association you are intending to make. Offering toys while pup is excited, talking excitedly or yelling, and moving your arms to push pup away when pup is jumping up, only serve to muddle your message and add energy to the 坐uation –使获得预期结果更加困难。此外，随机脱色或快速重复发射‘commands’ (E.g. 坐, 坐, 坐, 坐, 坐  - you’曾经看过，并且可能对此感到内））并告诉小狗‘no’几乎任何东西都一样徒劳（而且没用）。‘No’ isn’t a 命令: 坐, here, down, stand, 别管它, 地点, kennel all are 命令s, but only after the association has been made. Remember, the key here is to catch pup doing what you want and offering an affirmation to build the association you desire.

​声明空间，没有您想象的那么先进:
如果您一直在关注荷兰狗博客，那么您就会知道我们是希金斯方法的忠实拥护者。希金斯结合狗学习方法的一部分是“声称空间”，这对狗如何选择管理能量的方式会产生相当令人惊讶和深刻的影响。声称与太空有关，可以教狗冲动控制。您将在与小狗一起进行的领导者步行（详见下文）期间进行此操作，但是您也可以在家里索取空间，这样做确实可以简化一些事情。吃饭时幼犬的表现如何？他像是一个被扔进一个空游泳池，弹跳，旋转并扮演傻瓜的橡皮球吗？即使您在这个领域很幸运，“认领太空”也是另一项练习，可帮助幼犬建立控制力和专注力。对于纯正疯狂酱汁的幼崽，您不会在进餐时开始这样做。您需要建立成功，而不是失败。放置幼犬’可以将椅子放在手臂上的地方的狗窝’s直达前方。将幼犬放进狗窝，然后关上门。保持坐在狗窝前，将门锁好，然后等待小狗变得平静。这看起来可能有很多不同的方式，但是理想情况下，他会躺下甚至睡觉。达到平静后，打开门，但是不要’不要让幼仔掉出来。确保肩膀与狗窝的开口成一直线，将头保持在中间位置（首先），并在需要时用一只手尽可能轻轻地向小狗推以将其保持在狗窝中。无需多说。他可能会坚持不懈，您可能需要坚定。您将需要坚毅，也可能需要降低下巴，给自己多一点严肃的姿势。在大多数情况下，经过几次尝试，小狗会简单地躺下并接受门敞开的情况下进入狗窝。这是当您附近有人时可以与家人朋友开始对话的时候–总是对小狗很专心。他可能会尝试偷偷溜走，而您将需要阻止此事，但您更有可能会发现他会继续留在原地。如果是这样，那就完美！让他休息片刻，然后让小狗知道他可能会离开狗窝。从现在开始，当您打开门时，门的开口不再是用螺栓固定的提示。他的提示是您的释放词。考虑使用‘okay’ or ‘let’s go’, some like ‘free dog’。开始时，您需要在提供提示之前改变门打开的时间。我们打破的关联是开门=螺栓。我们建立并希望维持的联系是您的暗示=您可以礼貌地离开家。

​将所有这些应用于用餐时间以创建更多的冲动控制.
You have now Claimed Space in your home. Pup knows that 当你 are in front of him, that space is yours. Let’帮助他进一步了解这一点。一世’m guessing you have a carpet in the area where you feed your dog, if not you will want one as it will make this easier for pup to understand. Using all of the things we have talked about so far: the 名字游戏, the polite offer to 坐 or stand, and space claiming, pup knows to be on that carpet and knows that he must be there once his food bowl is in play. This will need to be 不要e in small steps, but can be accomplished rather quickly if you have worked up to it… At first the bowl is 地点d near to the pup once he is calm and ready. Plan on using a similar stance you used with the crate and need to gently claim the space in front of pup where you intend to 地点 his food bowl. Initially the waiting period should only be a second or two, give him a release pat on the flank (later you may build in a verbal cue) and 让 him enjoy his meal.  随着练习的进行，您可以增加时间和/或距离来帮助建立幼崽’等待发布的焦点和联想。

​教学效果‘leave it’
我们提到教学‘Leave It’ near to the beginning of this article. So now 让’花费了一些时间在概念上。‘Leave It’可以被动地进行授课，这是到目前为止我们所做的简单变化。首先将较低价值的零食放在手中，例如一些粗磨，然后随着成功的建立，朝着使用您的‘high value’ treats!  首先让您的小狗坐下或躺下。无论您选择哪种方式，在运动过程中狗都应保持姿势。随手准备一些点心。首先将诱饵的手张开并放在狗的上方’的视线以及相距几英尺远。您坐得很平静，如果小狗伸向零食，只需合上手即可。幼犬放松后，重新张开手开始练习。如果不是调查您的诱饵手，而是他看着您，请说‘yes’然后从诱饵中拿出点心并奖励他。随着游戏的进行，诱饵的手逐渐向幼犬靠拢和降低。请注意，一旦零食达到或低于视线范围，此游戏将使幼崽难以保持姿势，因此请注意不要过快进行。您不希望幼犬能够袭击被诱饵的手和自我奖励。只要幼犬对诱饵的手产生兴趣，就应该总是迅速而安静地合上手。有些狗会很快学到这一点，另一些狗可能需要几次训练。一旦幼犬具备如此出色的表现，您就可以提高奖励的价值，然后当幼犬出手时，只需添加提示即可‘leave it’当您需要合上手时。一旦幼犬向您寻求指导和/或称赞，就奖励您。如果您的狗真的很难保持原位以使这种锻炼成为可能，则您可能需要招募助手来牵引他的皮带。同样，其目的是为幼犬争取胜利。

​教小狗定居:
有些狗天生就很冷，但大多数狗需要一些帮助来学习如何，更重要的是何时打‘off switch’。反应过度或过于兴奋’给所有人带来乐趣，包括幼崽。这实际上归结为教小狗‘place 命令’。这可以是他的狗窝，一张床（在一个或多个位置）或您的沙发–这只对您很重要。小狗会放松很多’地点。找出您想要幼犬去的地方。一般来说，您会使用‘high value’对待他，一旦他提供了您想要的行为（放下），冷静地奖励并给予‘command’您已经决定要做什么‘bed’ or ‘place’ once pup has made it to the targeted 地点, reinforce with ‘yes’ immediately and treat as soon as you can. Like most things this can progress quickly. To increase the challenge, slowly wean him from being lured into 地点 and then create more and more distance from his ‘place’ 当你 give the 命令.

​恭喜你！
开始教这些东西永远不会太晚，但是正如您所期望的那样，越早越好（更容易）。这里有一些额外的资源，可以帮助分心的狗教冲动控制。我希望你 觉得对他们有帮助。一只具有更强的专心和专注于任务的能力的狗将使您当前所做的一切变得容易，并使您为未来制定的所有计划不仅可能而且也更容易。
