The Importance of Rewards in Dog Training
Rewarding your dog is one of the most important things you can do as you train your dog. Obedience training by using other positive reinforcements and rewards has for a long time been seen as one of the most effective methods to establishing appropriate behaviors among dogs.
It's your responsibility as a dog owner to make dog training fun and productive, you can keep the motivation going by making your dog training sessions motivating by altering the organization of the training sessions in order to avoid boredom.
The most basic rewards should be learned first and foremost such as sit, down, heel and no. You should begin your dog training efforts by making sure that your dog is properly fitted with a comfortable and fitting leash and training collar. Be sure to ask around at dog training facilities or stores specializing in dog accessories as to what leashes are the best for your dog.
Start by walking your dog and recognizing how your dog reacts to other things around such as people, cars and other animals. By gently pulling on the leash whenever you experience questionable behavior, you can let your dog know that the behavior is one that isn't wanted.
By praising your dog and rewarding them for positive behavior, you will reinforce positivity and enable your dog to do whatever it is that you want, knowing that there is some kind of reward in the end. Your dog will be more likely to please you and try to please you through positive behavior
Positive reinforcement is more easily accepted and effective than punishment. Dogs can get discouraged even confused if there is an excessive amount of reprimands and punishment occurring Although you should reprimand your dog if you observe dangerous behavior such as chasing and biting, rewards are more effective in the long run for observed positive behavior such as obeying commands, fetching a ball e.t.c
Make sure that your dog doesn't fall into the habit of building negative associations and habits as these can be quite difficult to change. It is important that you notice the types of behaviors in your dog early on and correct them before they become habits or behavioral problems in the long run. Remember that dog training should be happy and fun times for you as well as your dog!
