WHAT IS POSITIVE REINFORCMENT DOG TRAINING?
Positive reinforcement training is a science-based approach to dog training that eliminates the use of aversive equipment and pain-inducing tactics in the training of animals. Instead, it uses positive reinforcement almost exclusively to modify behavior. Positive reinforcement training puts a larger emphasis on the observation of the body language of dogs and examines the reason behind a dog’s behavior, working to fix the underlying behavioral issue, rather than the symptoms.
