About Positive Training

Positive dog training focuses on encouraging what you want the dog to do, instead of focusing on stopping unwanted behavior. Key principles include:

1. Reward-based training: Using treats, praise, and affection to reinforce good behavior.

2. Clicker training: Using a clicker to mark exact moments of desired behavior and reward it.

3. Force-free training: Avoiding physical force, fear, or intimidation.

4. Positive reinforcement: Focusing on building desired behaviors, rather than suppressing undesired ones.

5. Clear communication: Using consistent, clear cues and body language helps build a confident pup.

6. Patience and consistency: Training in short sessions, with consistent schedules and routines.

7. Building trust: Creating a strong bond based on mutual respect and trust.

Some benefits of positive dog training include:

• Stronger bond between dog and handler.

• Faster learning and better retention.

• Reduced stress and anxiety.

• Improved behavior and fewer unwanted behaviors.

• Enhanced problem-solving skills.

Remember, positive training methods prioritize your dog's emotional and psychological well-being, leading to a more confident, calm, and well-behaved companion.
