Positive Dog Training

Dog training is the application of behavior analysis which uses the environmental events of antecedents and consequences to modify the behavior of a dog, either for it to assist in specific activities or undertake particular tasks, or for it to participate effectively in contemporary domestic life. While training dogs for specific roles dates back to Roman times at least, the training of dogs to be compatible household pets developed with suburbanization in the 1950s.

A dog learns from interactions it has with its environment. This can be through classical conditioning, where it forms an association between two stimuli; non-associative learning, where its behavior is modified through habituationor sensitisation; and operant conditioning, where it forms an association between an antecedent and its consequence.

The Four Pillars of Positive Training

Pillar #1 – Use Positive Reinforcement

Pillar #2 – No Physical or Mental Punishment

Pillar #3 – Understand Misconceptions

Pillar #4 – Learn the Dog's Perspective

Together, these four elements comprise the Positively concept of positive training. Without any one of them, the philosophy is not complete and is not as powerful and effective in building long-term relationships with your pets based on mutual trust and respect.
