We all know that the reward system, when demonstrated correctly, is effective to train our dogs. Proven by science, positive reinforcement works better than a negative one. Not only for dogs but for humans as well (we know this!)
Fear works on getting something done but it will make your pets intimidated and afraid of you therefore sacrificing the relationship between you and your dog. This can also result to a dog who doesn’t like to be handled.
Giving your dog rewards on a job well done will make them feel happy and cause them to do better and feel motivated all the time, even when they are not being trained. This will also increase the bond between the parent and the dog.
This being said, this should be properly executed and a pet parent must still know how to balance things out when training their dog. Not everything should be rewarded and bad behavior should never go unnoticed.
Pets and parents are born and wired differently so what works for others might not work for you. What do you use to train your dog? Let us know!
