Every dog-owner knows the situation when the dog picks up some trash during the walk or steals food at home. The dog does like this not because it is hungry it is just an instinct of hunting and reserving food. Since we don’t really enjoy such habits of our dog we should train it from the childhood. Special training discs (Fisher’s discs) are very useful for teaching dogs. They were invented in 1984 by John Fisher – skilled and experienced dog – trainer. The idea of the discs is to use sound impact and form negative association so the dog is prevented from undesirable doings.
The secret of success of the Fisher’s discs is in following:
1. The sound is not like any other sound.
2. Discs can be carried in your hand or your pocket, and they will not make noise. This allows the owner make noise just in the right moment.
3. Disks are not applied as a projectile or as an "extender" of the master's wrath, they are simply used as a reaction to an undesirable doing. But even if to throw them in the dog, they are soft and not cause strong pain or harm.
4. The method of using disk is based on the preliminary formation of a conditioned reflex, which is held before the problem of changing unwanted behaviors. Thus, developed reflex provides the necessary negative impact.
It is better to start training with Fisher’s discs at home. The main aim of the exercise is to train a dog to ignore the meal on the floor. Call the dog and offer it a treat with word "Take". Repeat this procedure three or four times. So the dog knows when you give it some meal it is allowed to take it.
Then, without saying anything to the dog, make a movement as if you put a treat on the floor. When the dog runs to your hand you should rattle with disks and then throw them to the floor in a place where you put the food. Then immediately take away the discs and the food.
You should do all this very quickly. During the training it is necessary to ignore the dog completely, for example, you may continue a conversation with someone standing nearby as if nothing has happened. At this stage most of the dogs does not pay any attention to the sound of discs, and many of them continue to sniff the floor in search of food, which is seemed to be still there.
Then give the dog a treat several times, repeating "Take", and then go away again to put food on the floor. When the dog follows your hand you should rattle discs again, and then drop them if the dog does not stop and continues to follow your hand to the place where you want to put a treat. Immediately remove discs and food and continue to ignore the dog.
The purpose of this repetitive procedure is to teach a dog that it could take food only if it is allowed to do it. Since you are the alpha-wolf in the pack all the food is yours and your dog has no right to take it.
Whenever a dog tries to take food, you must immediately respond with rattling discs. The dog must learn that if you intend to put YOUR food on YOUR floor, even the hungriest dog has no right to take it. Moderate discs’ sound is a warning to a dog to stop, more intensive sound and your taking out of discs is a reaction to dog’s attempt to take the food.
Ignoring the dog during all the training, you make it understand the following: "I do not have any relation to what is happening. It is all happening because of your stupidity."
Most dogs will ignore the sound of discs for the first time, but after several repetitions, they go away from food on the floor. Some dogs learn quickly, but only a few can’t learn at all.
The result of such training: once the dog understands the principle, it will ignore the food on the floor even when you do not use discs.
