When you bring home that furry, cute teddy bear like a small ball, its liveliness and agility add a lot of fun to life. But sometimes, its unrestrained calls can also cause headaches. Imagine a peaceful afternoon, you are enjoying a pleasant time, but Teddy suddenly starts barking loudly, breaking this tranquility. Does it make you feel a little helpless? Don't worry, as long as you master the scientific methods, coupled with patience and love, training Teddy not to scream is not difficult.

Teddy dogs are naturally lively and alert, which makes them easier to bark than some dog breeds. But behind every cry, there is a specific reason. Understanding these reasons is the first step in training. Teddy may call out because he feels lonely. When the owner is not at home for a long time and they are alone, they will express their inner anxiety and desire for companionship through vocalizations. For example, if you go out to work all day and find Teddy calling eagerly at the door when you get home, it's likely because he misses you too much.

Fear is also a common factor that causes Teddy to scream uncontrollably. Suddenly loud noises, such as thunder, firecrackers, or unfamiliar environments or people, can make them feel scared and use their cries to protect themselves. Also, when Teddy detects abnormal movements around him, out of instinctive alertness, he will bark loudly in an attempt to catch his owner's attention.

Before training, we need to be fully prepared. Establishing trust with Teddy is crucial. On weekdays, spend more time with it, play with it, feed it, touch it, and let it feel your love and warmth. Only when Teddy trusts you, will he be more willing to follow your instructions.

Choosing a quiet and less disruptive training environment is also important. Teddy finds it difficult to concentrate in a noisy environment, which is not conducive to training. You can choose a corner of the living room at home and turn off devices such as the TV and sound system during training to reduce external interference.

Training Teddy not to bark randomly requires following scientific steps. When Teddy starts barking, don't immediately stop or scold him loudly. Because this not only fails to solve the problem, but may also make it more nervous and scream more loudly. We can use a simple and clear command, such as' quiet ', while making a stop gesture, such as placing the index finger near the mouth, and have Teddy associate this command and gesture with the stop cry.

When Teddy heard the command and stopped screaming, even if it was just a brief silence, he should immediately give it a reward. Rewards can be delicious snacks such as chicken jerky and cheese cubes, or gentle touches and words of praise. Through this method, Teddy understands that as long as he follows instructions and stops screaming, he can receive rewards.

Repeat this process, issuing a "quiet" command every time Teddy barks, until it can quickly respond and stop screaming. As the training progresses, the difficulty of the training can gradually increase, such as training in different scenarios or with external interference, allowing Teddy to learn how to control his vocalizations in various situations.

During the training process, there are also some things to pay attention to. Be patient enough, training is not something that can be achieved overnight, Teddy may need some time to fully master it. In this process, don't lose patience because of its slow progress, and don't beat or scold it. Each teddy bear has different learning abilities and speeds, and we should respect their differences and guide them with love and patience.

Also, pay attention to Teddy's emotional changes. If it shows tension or fear during the training process, it is necessary to stop the training in a timely manner and calm its emotions. You can hug it, gently comfort it, and wait for its emotions to stabilize before continuing training.

Training Teddy not to scream is a challenging yet loving journey. Watching it go from its initial wild moans to gradually learning to obey commands and calm down, every small progress is full of your efforts and sacrifices. Let's accompany Teddy to grow with love and patience, making him a well behaved and sensible little baby, and enjoy a warm and beautiful life together.
