How to train a Satsuma to be obedient? The owner must establish his authority in front of the Satsuma. When doing things, the owner must do it first and then let the dog follow. After establishing the dog's obedience, you can start to do command training, and continue to strengthen the command every day; Praise immediately if you do something right, and criticize immediately if you do something wrong.

First of all, the owner’s authority must be established in front of the dog. Generally, dogs will follow their owners home when they are about 2 months old. Looking at such a small dog, the owners must hold it in their hands and remember it in their hearts, so they will have some pampering towards the dog. This kind of indulgence will make the dog mistakenly think that it can do anything. This is very detrimental to the formation of master status. Therefore, when your dog is young, you must establish in it the awareness that you are the leader. For example, when eating, you eat first, when playing games, you have to decide before playing, etc.

When your dog fully trusts you and is willing to obey you, you can give it some short, targeted commands such as eating, squatting, sleeping, etc. Once you determine the action and instructions of this command, do not change it at will, otherwise it will easily make the dog panic. After the dog can understand it, the commands must be strengthened. When the dog can execute the commands, it must be trained every day to strengthen the dog's memory.

When the dog does something right, praise it immediately and let it know that doing so will get rewards and love from the owner. Then the dog will become well-behaved over time. When the dog is about to do something it "can't do", it should be stopped loudly and decisively. If you scold it later, the dog will not understand the reason and will still continue to do those "can't do" things. What's more serious is that if the dog is often reprimanded for unknown reasons, the dog will gradually develop a sense of distrust towards the owner and no longer listen to the owner's orders.
