Training a Dog With Love - Recognize The Positive

By Steve Cote


Dog training recently has taken a turn upwards.

Positive re-strengthening is in the advance guard of each good dog trainer and behaviourists mind. Physical and mental welfare of the dog is supreme when teaching a canine the easy way to behave. Handler and dog communication is very regarded. Good animal behaviourists will work out and explain the roots of an unhelpful behaviour before commencing alteration.

Educated and empathetic dog trainers and behaviourists are combining against unproven and unpleasant dog training advice. Punishment and negative response to any behavior is recognised as useless and unkind to a dog. Reward for helpful behavior and ignoring unhelpful behaviour is recognized as the most highly efficient way to train a dog.

Poor dog training isn't really positive behavior alteration at all. The incapable dog trainer will disregard the option of teaching a dog to behave by solely using reward. Bad dog training does not look into why the dog is behaving a certain way; it offers a one cap fits all reason. You may never hear a good dog behaviourist seriously use the word misbehave or dominant. They'll recognize your responsibility when they refer to the behaviour of your dog. These words can regularly be used by dated trainers that don't really understand the essentials of dog behaviour.

So if you're looking for dog training advice, do make sure that trainers advertise positive methods. Clicker training is one of the well known positive reinforcement training strategies. Watch out for any class that readily uses dislike techniques such as punishment collars, water sprays and anything that could provoke a phobia reply in the dog. These techniques mask unhelpful behavior and are not a long term solution. The behaviour will eventually return and usually be more extreme and will never depart, so make sure that you use better training strategies.
