By using positive reinforcement in k9 dog training
Understanding the differences between positive reinforcement and physical correction training can make the difference between having fun or facing difficulties in the dog training process. While those who face difficulties in training their dogs start with no foundation, those who do have much more fun.
If you understand that you cannot just “train” thoughtlessly and hope it all turns out for the best and that actual training begins with thought, you will have fun while doing it. Here are some questions you should consider in order to make training your dog training experience fun and effective:
What methods should be used in the training process? Why should they be used? How should they be applied? And what behavior do you want to see out of your dog(s)? These questions should be at the crux of the training process. They will expedite the learning curve that you as a dog trainer are going to face, making the training process faster, more effective and allot more fun. As a professional, the most important advice that I can give prospective dog trainers to accomplish the goals above outlined is this: use positive reinforcement.
By using positive reinforcement in k9 dog training you can avoid the negative possibilities that stem from physical correction training. While positive reinforcement builds trust and confidence, both of which are integral to the training process, physical corrections, through the use of correction collars or by other means, can certainly damage your dogs trust and confidence. Understanding this will make a huge difference in whether your experience with training your dog is fun and rewarding or difficult and painful.
