5 simple ways to get your dog to pay attention


5 simple ways to get your dog to pay attention



 Einstein and I Train the Attention Heel Do you find yourself desperately trying to get your dog's attention? Does the phrase "in one ear and out the other" sound familiar to you? Or does your dog find it easy to listen until he sees the dreaded mailman? Either way, it is important for us owners to be able to grab our dog's attention and get his attention. Imagine the consequences if our dog ran on a busy road and couldn't hear us calling him again!


In this article, I'm going to cover 5 simple tips you can apply right away to help your dog become more attentive.

Brain training

Playing an airplane game with Einstein's Brain Training is a very effective way to increase your dog's ability to pay attention to you!


Most of the games in My Dog's Brain Training Class are designed to improve your dog's attention. One of my favorites is the "airplane game", which you can access for free. In this simple game, your dog will learn the following important skills:

"Snapping sound"

Wouldn't it be great if there was a noise we could make at all times so that our dog would pay attention to us right away? Well, luckily for us there is, and it's called a "snap sound"! But before we can harness its power, we have to teach our dog that this particular sound = food.


Make a thumping noise and give my dog ​​a reward

I snap, then immediately give my dog ​​a treat!

To do this, make a slapping noise with your dog in a quiet room as if you are accepting the air, then offer him a treat on the spot. It doesn't matter what he does when you give him the reward (as long as he doesn't do something as bad as tearing up the couch) the idea is just to show him that whenever he hears the his, he gets the rewards. After doing this for a while, you should notice that your dog is looking at you for his reward every time you make the sound. With constant practice, you can start using the sound of typing in everyday life when you want to get your dog's attention!


Keep in mind, however, that the knocking sound may be less effective when your dog is extremely stressed. For example, if he sees something on the outside interacting vigorously with him, your voice may go unnoticed. One remedy for this is the "Watch This" game in a dog brain training course. In Look At It, we'll specifically teach your dog to pay attention to punching noise despite strong distractions.


Don't like using typing sound? There is no problem! You can replace the clicking sound with any other sound you want, such as a whistle or crackle. Just make sure the sound you choose is loud enough to be heard in crowded environments and that you can create it yourself.

The importance of incentives

Cooked chicken fillet is a great value food. They can be used during particularly difficult training sessions.

What do you think of the idea of ​​working without getting paid? This is exactly what our dogs can feel when we ask them to perform normal tasks without being rewarded for their efforts! This is why incentives are so important in training dogs.


There are many types of incentives, but nutritional rewards are the most common. These rewards are awarded to the dog every time he succeeds in performing a certain action. Suppose we are just starting to teach our dog to "sit" for the first time. When he sits successfully, we reward his efforts by dropping him a dog cookie or a piece of food. Now the next time we ask him to sit down he'll be careful to do so because he knows he's getting something delicious in return!


In Dog Brain Training Program, I cover techniques that allow you to stop giving your dog a reward every time they successfully complete a certain action, as well as offering other forms of reward.
