Dogs have a variety of unconditioned reflex activities. These activities are not only necessary for dogs to maintain normal survival, but also the necessary basis for training dogs. Several unconditioned reflexes related to training are briefly described below.

Food Reflex

Dogs obtain food to maintain what they need to survive. Dog owners can ensure the normal survival and development of dogs through feeding and management, and establish and strengthen the dog's attachment to its owner. At the same time, the dog's appetite can also be used to induce the dog to perform certain actions, and the dog's correct actions can be strengthened and consolidated by rewarding food. For example, refusing to eat, eating after performing certain specified actions, etc.

Free reflex

In order to get rid of the restrictions on the dog's own activities and gain freedom, the dog is used to train the dog, which is to strengthen and effectively regulate the nervous system activity important means of status.

Defensive reflex

Dogs use it to protect their own safety and take active attacks or passive avoidance of the victim. It is the basis for training dogs to be brave and alert.

Exploration reflex

Dogs can detect changes in the external environment and things in a timely manner, ascertain their own interests, and take appropriate actions. It is the basis for cultivating the dog's alertness and inducing the dog to smell the scent.

Hunting reflex

This is the main means for wild dogs to survive and feed. This feature has gradually degraded to some extent after dogs became domesticated. During training, the dog's high excitement and strong possessive desire to obtain what it wants can be fully coordinated and cultivated through patient, meticulous and clever induction. This is an important basis for cultivating the ability to track, distinguish and search.

Posture reflex

The dog coordinates the balance of body posture. In training, dogs can use their inherent natural posture and body balance reactions to complete certain basic subjects through correct induction and appropriate coercion.
