Why positive reinforcement training?
“Why should I choose positive reinforcement training?”, is a common question from dog owners. It is a very simple question to answer and one that I could talk about all day, however I will try not to do that here. Positive Reinforcment Training is not just a new revolution in the “no spank” generation, it is a proven method of training that works using what your dog loves most. By finding their motivator we can use it to encourage the dog to do what we are asking. We are not asking our dogs to doing anything they do not already know how to do. They sit, lay down and even stay everyday. We just need to teach them how to do it when we want them to. Positive reinforcement training isn’t just about training your dog to sit, stay and come when called. It is about learning how to communicate with your dog by watching your dog’s signals during training, at home, every time you are with your dog. You will get a better understanding of what your dog is trying to tell you as well. The best thing
