Training without punishment or assertive negative correction that devastates and puzzles the dog … Positive reinforcement, praise and motivation are the way to go!  The most successfully disciplined dogs are educated using the positive reinforcement method.  Think about it.  You are at work, the boss yells at you all the time … or the boss buys you lunch because you did the job perfect.  Which boss do you have a better working relationship with?

Just like at being at work, rewards encourage getting the job done right.  Will your dog know how to sit if all you do is yell at him?  What motivates your dog?  Treats?  Personal Affection?  Incentives will perk up your puppy and be very effective.   Applying this form of training will deepen your dogs’ genuine faith and eagerness to learn.  Both you and your dog will share a healthy relationship and have much more fun using positive reinforcement training techniques.

Being the dog trainer, the power of positive dog training should be the method of choice.  Your dog will remember what motivated him to do his task correctly and won’t be afraid.  Both of you are rewarded when your dog does something right.  You learn how to connect with your dog and he gets a treat!  A win win situation.  Positive reinforcement training will keep your dog happier and safer during his lifetime.
