The dog handler told how to teach a dog to understand human signals

It is possible to teach a dog to communicate his desires. You can try to teach your pet to "talk" using special sound buttons. This was announced by the President of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, on Friday, February 28.

"For this purpose, they came up with special voice buttons, when pressed, which reproduce a particular word denoting an action familiar to the dog. Their inventors claim that if you teach a dog that after pressing the "Walk" key, it will be taken out for a walk, it will remember this and every time it needs to go outside, it will press the right button," he said in an interview with Radio 1.

According to the expert, dog buttons are an interactive toy that can be used to train a pet. Sets of individual buttons or an entire panel with various buttons are sold. Any word can be written on each of the buttons, for example, "Walk", "Eat", "Play", and this word will be played when the button is pressed.

The creators of the toy are confident that using voice buttons you can form positive habits and improve mutual understanding with your pet. The owner can give the dog a command using a button, as well as receive a request from the pet. The buttons help to develop the mental activity of the animal.

Earlier, on February 21, Golubev said that dogs don't bark out of spite, there are reasons for this behavior.

The specialist noted that in order to cope with the problem, it is necessary to analyze in detail the behavior of the dog, the approach to education, and also check the health of the pet. This will help to find the cause and correct the undesirable actions of the dog.
