Positive Dog Training
Having a well trained dog is awesome. The problem is that with all the different techniques available, how can you choose the best one for your dog? In this article I will be explaining one of the most popular techniques available today: Positive Dog Training.
Positive dog training is a technique that focuses on praising and positive reinforcement every time the dog performs the task correctly. In other words, you only reward the dog for good behavior. Studies have shown that most animals (not only dogs) respond better to this tactic.
This method does not involve hitting, spanking, or punishing a dog when a the dog disobeys your command. This is considered a “negative” approach, and it has been found to work inadequately with dogs as well as other animals.
There are many types of rewards you can give your dog, such as doggie treats, kind words, a quick rub, a pat on the head, etc. Studies have shown that dogs respond better to positive reinforcement.
For example let’s look at the “sit” command. After you ask the dog to sit and he sits, immediately follow up with a treat and praise. Do this repeatedly and consistently so that the dog makes the association between sitting and praise (positive reinforcement).
Another instance in which this technique can be very helpful is during potty training. Use the same method as described in the paragraph above every time the dog goes to the bathroom when and where they are supposed to. Soon enough the dog will make the association between the reward and going to the bathroom where he or she is supposed to. Training the dog this way will speed up the potty training process.
An important aspect of this training involves the tone of your voice. When giving a command, your tone of voice must be firm and with authority. Don’t scream, yell, or use a high-pitched tone of voice. Be firm so the dog knows you mean business. When praising the dog use a happy and pleasant voice. Dogs love to be praised and rewarded, and they can tell from the tone of your voice.
