Using Compassionate, Positive-Only Methods to Help Your Pet Dog - The Modern Approach to Canine Behavior Management
There is never any need to yell, scold, intimidate or otherwise destroy the human-canine bond between you and your pet! Anyone who yells and screams at a dog, or advocates or practices using these methods of communicating and interacting with a dog, really knows nothing about dogs, or is just lazy, and should be avoided at all costs, for the sake of the dog.
Positive-Only methods involve building a lasting, lifetime relationship of trust between the human and dog, it means making it fun for the dog to learn and do what it is asked to do. This is accomplished by teaching the dog to ‘WORK” for a reward, which is either a treat, a favorite toy, or simply playing with you! Dogs see any type of attention, affection, activity or treat as a reward for a job done. It is much easier and repeatable to train a dog using positive-only methods than by the old methods, because the dogs enjoy doing the task and will respond willingly and much more reliably to their training.
