Desensitization training, also known as anti-conditioning training or conditioned reflex training, refers to targeted training on things that dogs are afraid of, so as to gradually reduce the dog’s sensitivity to this thing. It can also be understood as This training allows the dog to slowly overcome this fear. Dogs are social animals and retain some primitive instincts passed down from their ancestors, but in modern society, dogs are more used as family pets, so they must undergo social training to suppress some primitive instincts or overcome some fears, so it is necessary to Take desensitization training.

Other dog training methods

1. Mechanical stimulation training method. The mechanical stimulation training method is a method in which the owner uses certain mechanical means to force the dog to make movements. For example, when training a dog to "sit down", while giving the "sit" command, press the dog's waist corner with the left hand, and when the dog's sense of touch is stimulated by pressure and makes a sit down action, rewards will be given immediately.

2. Combining training methods. Combined training method is a method that combines induction with mechanical stimulation and reward means. It can learn from each other, and it is the most basic and effective method in training. We advocate that this method should be used more in the process of dog training.

3. Opportunity training method. The opportunity training method is also an auxiliary method. It means that in the daily feeding process of the dog, the owner randomly uses it when there are certain movement dynamics, laying the foundation for the establishment of conditioned reflex.
