Toy's trade-off

While it is a proven fact that we can entice a dog to obey a command by luring them with food, the truth to the matter is that food means nothing to them when prey emerges. This only shows that food to them is a subsequent motive to obedience, or shall we say a dutiful coercion that drives them to instantaneous action. For by default, the appearance of an actionable target is the key and the dominant responder, it is not the food per se.  With this in mind, the better choice of a trainer is not to rely so much on food to coerce obedience but to contrive a way to re-enact the appearance of a prey, as how do you give that treat, as a starter. Moving forward, there is a variety of toys made available to enhance the appearance of prey, tools to evoke the trainer’s oversight in the field, and devices for your dog’s prowess and mastery. Sadly, though, there are countless green shoppers who are clueless of why they are categorized this way. In summary, it is one thing to be oblivious about what moves your dog to action, and it is another to buy extravagant toys, Tools and Devices that only detract and are worthless if not properly equated.  

There are two venues in which one can train a dog: one is indoor and the other in the open. There are also two tenures that a trainer holds in broadening the dog’s stimulus for prey: one is to situate them in an outland surrounding and the other is the use of toys, tools and devices. The ability to switch the actual from an artificial and vice versa must always be in the trainer’s mind in order to establish a more solid administration, since the trainer’s verbal expression and body language while in the field become the pattern communicated to the dog even while preying on an artificial. Dogs communicate through sonance and body language; they also react commensurately when communicated properly. This same pattern, however, is the posture of an alpha dog that is vividly transmitted to the rest of the pack either while they are unwinding or on the verge of a hunting expedition. 

Reeling back to toys, tools and devices, they are categorically found to support any sporting involvement carried over via a hunt quest and the dog’s natural prowess for prey. Toys - for the dog’s amusement over prey, Tools - for a distant oversight while in the field, and Devices - to master the dog’s aptitude to perform well in a given sphere. With this in mind, one cannot go wrong in picking the right purchase or the right use of those choices. Another thing to remember is that while Toys can easily be exploited to represent prey, one cannot overlook the choice of tools and devices. Take the case of a well-padded leash. If the desire is to abate your dog from eluding where you want it to be while on trail, then check an invasive tool instead. An annoying sound of a whistle to extend a verbal command for attention with close neighbors can easily be dismissed by a sonar whistle. On the other hand, a bicycle attachment device might well replace running alongside your dog for its physical nimbleness.

        

Again, one must have a hunting expedition in mind to be able to select a viable instrument and subject them to a realistic training field even if the sport activity that you are in is not directly equated to hunting per se. You can best get their full energy and interest as well as develop a more complaint communication skill that is germane to them. No more guesswork.
