Motor Memory
Among the dog training projects, many are related to motor memory, such as obstacle jumping projects completed by dogs, lying down, sitting, etc. This memory training is very important.

Three Memory Characteristics of Dogs (Picture 1)


Image memory
These images can be auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile, or gustatory. For example, a dog's memory of its owner's facial features is visual.
Emotional memory
Dogs often become excited about their environment or certain behaviors of their owners, thus forming a deep impression. Once a similar situation occurs, the dog will become excited. This is the emotional memory that can be applied in the process of dog training. .

In order to improve training efficiency, we should timely consolidate the training programs that are being formed or have been formed according to the law of dog forgetting. For example, for the "sit" project of dog training, you should train about 15 times a day in the first week, at least 18 times a week thereafter, and 8-12 times a week after one month to ensure a deep memory of the project. .

Research shows that forgetting is not only restricted by time factors, but also affected by the following factors: Project significance

Generally speaking, anything that has no special meaning and cannot arouse the dog's interest will be forgotten by the dog first. Therefore, enhancing the fun of training and cultivating the dog's interest in games will achieve good training results.
Number of projects
The larger the number of items learned at one time, the more will be forgotten after memorization. Therefore, the progress of training should be reasonably arranged to improve the efficiency of dog training.
Project Nature
Generally speaking, dogs forget more slowly about skilled movements and easy tasks. Figurative items last longer than abstract items and are less likely to be forgotten.
Project order
Depending on the combination method and location of the learning content, the forgetting process is also different. For example, for a more complex project, the beginning and end of it are much forgotten. Forgetting is affected by the degree of learning. Research confirms that the consolidation or relearning of memorization itemsIt is an effective way to reduce forgetting. After training a dog for a period of time, retraining is very necessary to consolidate the training results.
