Learn how to train your dog to recognise its name and come when called. The Head of Training at Battersea Dogs and Cat's Home, Ali Taylor, takes you through the technique.

来学学如何训练你的爱狗吧,让它能识别自己的名字,当你叫它的时候,它能跑过来。巴特西猫狗之家的训宠主教练阿里泰勒将会教你这些技巧。

Step 1: When and how to reward
Reward your dog all the time for movements in the right way, then for the whole action, then for best attempts. Rewards can be food in the form of treats or part of your dog's dinner, praise, or a toy or game. Remember it is only a reward if your dog wants it.

1.何时、怎样给爱狗奖励
只要爱狗做出了正确的动作就给它奖励,之后,对爱狗在整个训练过程中的表现进行奖励,再接下来,即使爱狗没能完成训练内容,只要它尽力做了尝试,就给它奖励。奖励可以采用食物的形式,也可以是爱狗的部分晚餐,可以是一声赞美(爱抚),或者奖励它个玩具,还可以陪它玩个游戏。爱狗需要的东西就可以作为奖励。

Step 2: Name recognition
To get your dog to pay attention to its name, hold a reward between yours and your dog's eyeline, say its name and as soon as it looks at you, give the reward.

2.教爱狗识别自己的名字
想要让你的爱狗对它的名字产生注意,用手拿着用于奖励爱狗的东西,放在你和爱狗的视线之间,然后喊爱狗的名字。当它看你的时候,就把奖赏给它。

Step 3: Coming when called
To get your dog to come when called, show it a toy or treat, then move away a couple of paces. Call out your dog's name and say 'come' in a happy voice, smiling and gesturing to your dog. As the dog comes to you, hold its collar and either feed or play with it. Gradually increase the distance between you and your dog until you can call it from room to room or in and out of the garden. Don't call your dog if you are going to punish or shout at it.

3.训练爱狗,让它“随叫随到”
要让你的爱狗“随叫随到”,在它面前拿出个玩具或者一些食物,然后向后退几步。叫你爱狗的名字,用较为甜美的声音对它喊“过来!”,并对爱狗微笑,打手势。当爱狗过来时,抓住它的项圈,喂它食物或者和它嬉戏。此后逐步拉大你和爱狗之间的距离,直到你可以隔着屋子或者在隔着花园叫来你的爱狗。当你要惩罚或者训斥爱狗时不要那样喊它。

Remember to make learning fun. Your dog will respond more quickly and won't be afraid to try again if you make a mistake.

切记,要让学习成为乐趣。如此,你的爱狗会反应更迅捷,当你犯错时它也不会害怕重来。
