The key to a good dog is a well-trained dog. When you train together, an unspoken language builds between you through words, hand signals, whistles and other methods. Dog training helps your dog learn how to behave appropriately at home or on-the-go.
There are two common methods of training a dog. The first is the aversive-based method. Aversive-based training uses techniques like loud, unpleasant noises, physical corrections, and harsh scoldings to get your dog to act the way you want.
The second is the reward-based method when you use positive reinforcement techniques with your dog. Reward-based methods use rewards only for the behaviors that you want your dog to follow.
Clicker training, a common form of positive reinforcement, is a simple and effective dog training method. With clicker training, you can easily and effectively teach your dog all kinds of basic and advanced commands and tricks. |
