Dogs in the battlefield have struggled to be appreciated for a long time but that is still to be achieved. As a trainer building trust between you and the dog should be your priority if you want it to follow your instructions. War dogs use non-verbal communication so when training them to think like soldiers concentrate more on the action and not on your words.
Different training lessons have different cost depending on the skills a dog needs to learn. It is expensive to train military dogs. In most countries government has set aside training grounds and pay the trainers who charge a lot money. Be consistent during the training process. Look for an area with no distractions if you want it to be attentive.
If you want them to be obedient take it to the training ground severally. It helps in familiarizing the place such that when the dog gets to the place it knows it is training time. Make it enjoyable and not like a task they must carry out. Every time you go there they will follow you simple commands like sitting, standing or grabbing a ball.
When a dog is protected from danger it not only loves you but respects you too. You seem to have an upper hand over them. They feel safe with you and that is what you should look forward to achieving during training lessons. Also be patient with them since they cannot get all the commands in one teaching. Teach step by step since training cannot occur overnight.
During training one needs to separate their emotions from commands to train effectively. Dogs unlike humans will not respond they can only act. Most people do not get it and end up overworking themselves thus trainers should focus more on what they are doing not the words. They respect someone who seems powerful and in control therefore take charge during training.
They love being given attention and appreciated for good work. If the training that day was awesome treat the soldier with a nice meal or play an interesting game with it. Not all dogs will want to play therefore know what motivates it. You can learn this during training by marking the things it enjoys the most and use one of the activities to treat it.
Punishment should be carried out once in a while in case they misbehave. Most training grounds are against this arguing out that it is breaking animal rights. However little disciplining does not hurt. Do not overreact and beat the dog ruthlessly just make them understand why what they did is wrong. It could be hard without beating but worth trying.
Exercising and eating a well-balanced diet contributes positively towards mental growth. It helps the dog grasp quickly the lessons being taught and be ready to go for war. During the deployment period most dogs get stressed therefore during training lessons teach it how to relate with different people. They should be respected as they are the future law enforcers.
