Positive Dog Training Produces Faster Results

by Lee Dobbins

When using a positive dog training approach, one must be sure to keep in mind that this type of training is based on rewarding your dog for good behavior.

However, scolding your dog is something that needs to be done on occasion. While a positive approach is most effective, there are times when your pet needs scolding in order to distinguish right from wrong. Like humans, dogs respond better to positivity and frequent scolding will only serve to hinder his performance. It is extremely important to know when to use each during training.

Be prepared to reward your dog each time he performs well during the training process. Orders that are obeyed such as sit, stay and fetch should be rewarded each time the task is performed.

You can reward your do in many different ways- treats, rubbing his belly, patting on the head or praises and kind words.

Your dog really wants to know that he is making you happy, and this is why a positive dog training approach is most effective. However, don’t keep on giving him treats when he doesn’t listen to what you say.

Don’t ever be harsh with your dog unless there truly isn’t any other alternative. Only such behaviors as growling, chewing things up, or pulling on the leash justify a reprimand.

Something that you will need to remember is that if you don’t catch him doing something, you mustn’t scold him for it. If you do, he will have no idea why he is getting into trouble. The dog will get your point with a short yet sharp “no!” or “bad dog!”

Be crisp and quick when your scold, being sure to maintain an angry and condemning tone. If you scold too frequently, your dog will end up ignoring you. You should never hit the dog, this will only lead to problems in the future.

If you are using a positive dog training method, one important thing to remember is when you should scold and when you should praise. Remember, your pet has just begun learning, and is trying. So be patient with your new friend. With a loving and understanding approach, your dog will find training easy and it will be a wonderful experience for both you and your dog.
