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.
That does not mean that you should never scold your dog. While this training method needs a positive manner, there are some times where you must be stern. Just do not scold your dog too much, because you will get a better response for positive reinforcement. It is an important thing to realize when you should praise your dog.
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.
The rewards can be anything including praises, treats, belly rubs, or pats on the head.
The learning process can go quickly with positive dog training. Your dog wants to please you, so he will respond well to this kind of teaching. Just make sure you do not reward him for misbehaving.
You should avoid scolding your dog unless you absolutely have to do so. Examples of behavior for which you should scold your dog include: jumping, barking, growling, tugging on his leash, destroying things and messing in inappropriate places.
It is important to note that you only scold your dog if you catch him in the act. Otherwise, the reprimand will not be effective because the dog will not know why he is being reprimanded. A quick and sharp word of "bad dog!" or simply "no!" is enough to get the message across.
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.
By and large, it is extremely necessary to have patience and understanding when using a positive dog training approach. It's like bringing up your kid, remember when it is best to scold and when to praise. With a little love and patience, the training experience can be a great way to bond with your pet.
