How to train a golden retriever to play dead? First, make a simulated gunshot sound, and gently push the dog down to let it lie down. After the dog lies down, you can give verbal praise or snack rewards, and it will not stand up until the owner gives the command to get up; use passwords Repeat training with certain rewards until the dog's conditioned reflex is developed.

First, let the dog learn to lie down. This task is relatively simple. If the dog will not fall down on its own, we can gently push the dog down with our hands and cooperate with the command to lie down. The difficulty lies in the dog cooperating with the gunshot and lying down in time. After we shoot, that is, after simulating the sound of shooting, if the dog does not fall down, we need to push it down with our hands and comfort it.

Make it feel like lying down is a pleasure. After lying down, you can give a certain amount of caress or reward. Over time, it will be able to associate the sound of gunshots with lying down, without having to give a "password".

Let the dog lie down and don’t move around. This is the key to the success or failure of the dog's show of pretending to be dead. If the dog "resurrects" without the owner's command, then the show will obviously become a comedy. When the dog lies down, it will try to get up after a while. At this time, you have to say no to it and press it down again. After it lies down quietly, give it food encouragement.

Through this kind of practical guidance training, the dog can quickly understand how to "pretend to be dead" and how to "pretend to be dead" when the owner gives instructions. As long as parents can insist on training their dogs and cultivate their dogs' conditioned reflexes, training their dogs to "pretend to be dead" can be successful.
