Tiny and Cute Puppy Training Case: Golden Retriever Bei Bei from Jiangsu, Attack Tendency and Biting Incident
Before, many people said that choosing a golden retriever is easy because they are gentle and cute. But in fact, golden retrievers will bite people if their owners don't handle their relationship with them properly.
Today's main character that needs to correct their behavior is everyone's favorite good boy golden retriever: Bei Bei, a 4-year-old golden retriever from Suzhou, Jiangsu.
Bei Bei's main problem is a tendency to attack, strong territorial awareness. Whenever it feels like family members are invading its territory – such as the table, chairs, or when the owner takes its things – it will issue warnings or attacks. It thinks it's in a high position and constantly makes demands on its family.
Cute golden retriever Bei Bei has bitten 3 people: the owner's father, uncle, and nephew.
The owner's father was injured accidentally. At the time, the dog had severe ear mites, and when playing, it accidentally touched the dog, causing the dog to bite as a conditioned reflex.
The owner's uncle always threatened the dog by saying he would 'cook it'. After being warned, he still took a large step forward, resulting in a bite. This made both of them afraid of each other.
The owner's nephew was bitten because one time the dog was lying under the dining table while he was eating, and the dog protected its territory by biting him. Although the nephew was not afraid of Bei Bei, the dog was also a little wary. Even during interaction, Bei Bei was slowly wagging its tail, its mouth was closed, and it was occasionally licking its lips quickly – this was a state of extreme nervousness. If the interaction continued, it would inevitably be bitten.
For Bei Bei's situation, the super cute training dog trainer remotely gave the owner professional guidance to improve Bei Bei's biting.
First, start with daily life and avoid making Bei Bei feel like it's in a high position at home, so it constantly demands things from the owner.The trainer asked family members not to avoid the dog. If it blocked them, they should calmly stand in front of it and give it the 'move away' command, letting it avoid everyone in the house until it willingly gave up advancing or retreating. To elevate the status of all personnel in the home.
To stop Bei Bei from doing something, you must use the correct driving away! Face the dog confidently and walk up to it.
Do not kick or wave your hand to drive it away, because in Bei Bei's eyes, this could be an aggressive behavior, which would then cause it to become tense and attack.
Second, do not over-focus on the dog. The owner often fulfilled the dog's requests, making it feel like its position was elevated. When the dog actively asks to play or be hugged, ignore or reject it.
Third, avoid the dog guarding its territory. The best way is to make it impossible for the dog to guard its territory. When the owner's family is eating, drive the dog away.
Finally, the owner controls the dog's leash. When the dog has a tendency to attack others, the owner immediately uses the leash to stop its behavior. Repeated training.
Through remote training by Super Cute, the trainer taught the owner to reduce Bei Bei's territorial protection awareness, reject Bei Bei's frequent requests, and also allow the owner's nephew and the dog to have intimate interactions in a safe environment, increasing their proximity.
After training, the owner's family knows how to properly get along with Bei Bei and respond to the dog's warning situation. And the dog no longer needs to be nervous protecting its territory every day, and the owner feels much more at ease.
