One important way is to establish trust. Spend time with the horse daily, grooming it gently. Also, use positive reinforcement like giving treats when it follows commands correctly. Start with simple commands such as 'walk' and 'stop' and gradually move to more complex ones.
Understand the horse's natural behavior. Horses are herd animals, so they respond well to group activities. You can also use desensitization techniques, like introducing new objects slowly to the horse so it gets used to them without getting scared.
Consistency is key. Use the same commands and gestures every time. If you sometimes use 'down' and other times 'lie down' for the same action, it can confuse the dog. Also, regular training sessions, like 15 - 20 minutes a few times a day, are better than long, infrequent ones.
One way is through positive reinforcement. For example, when the cat uses the litter box correctly, give it a small treat.

Socialization is important. Expose the female dog to different people, animals, and environments from a young age. This helps her become more well - adjusted and less fearful.
One of the best ways is positive reinforcement. Reward your dog with treats and praise when it follows commands like 'sit' or 'stay'. Also, be consistent in your training. If you sometimes allow a behavior and other times don't, it will confuse the dog.
Positive reinforcement is key. Reward your big dog with treats and praise when it follows commands correctly. For example, when teaching it to sit, say 'sit' clearly and gently push its bottom down, then immediately give a treat when it sits.
