Positive reinforcers are things that will increase the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated. Which will be anything the dog enjoys such as treats, praise, play, attention or environmental such as squirrel chasing or sniffing etc.
Positive reinforcement training is a humane approach to training that avoids the use of punishment and physical force.
Creates a happy, confident dog: Positive reinforcement training helps create a content, confident dog, which is more likely to be well-behaved and less anxious.
Builds trust and respect: Positive reinforcement training builds trust and respect between the dog and owner, leading to a stronger bond and stronger behaviour.
Positive reinforcement training can help reduce the likelihood of aggressive behaviour in dogs.
It can be used from teaching basic commands to more complex behaviours such as retrieving or agility.
It is a fun and interactive way to train your dog.
It has been shown to be more effective than punish based methods.
