Using Positive Reinforcement in Dog Training


Using positive reinforcement is considered an effective way of dog training. Positive reinforcement means rewarding your pet’s desirable habits while ignoring the undesirable ones. You can use positive reinforcement in highlighting your dog’s good behavior by giving him a prize. Rewarding your dog may come in the form of praise, playing games, walking, or giving treats after manifesting a pleasant demeanor. If you continuously use positive reinforcement, your dog will tend to repeatedly exhibit affirmative behavior because he receives a compliment for it. While giving treats is the most encouraging reward, you should gradually shift to offering non-food compliments such as belly rubs, verbal praise, or playtime. Giving your pet with too many treats may be harmful to your pet’s health eventually. If you want to learn more about how to train your pet effectively, and how to keep your pet healthy, contact your vet Kerrville TX for advice.
