Old fashioned dog training

Old-fashioned training methods, why should trainers come to the positive side? Because positive training works! It's fun for the dog and its fun for its family, it won't deteriorate the human-animal bond, it will not cause negative stress or physical pain to your dog through the use of force or pain, and it's totally supported by science and the laws of learning just to add a few reasons.

Not only is positive training exceedingly and amazingly operational, there is an entire era of scientific studies and research on the subject of behaviour modification, not only for dogs but for all species. Why are some trainers opposed, or scared to embrace the progressive or more sophisticated way of training.

"I want respect from my dog." This reasoning disguises some pretty scary logic-do you really think your dog would respect you more if you trained using correction and punishment, rather than lures and reinforcement? Look out for trainers, who claim harassment, bullying, and physical or psychological domination are necessary to get dogs to defer. What a perverse notion. On the contrary, you will gradually earn your dog's with understanding, compassion, and intelligent education via the laws was in you of learning.

The dog should WANT to do it for me. I want dogs to voluntarily follow instructions because they have realized it is in their best interests. Quick and willing compliance are the bases of dog-friendly dog training. You can coerce, or force a dog to do things your way, when on leash however, when off-leash and out of your reach; He might ignore your commands.

During the training process, your dog will formulate positive and negative associations about training and about you. By applying pleasant training methods, your dog will learn to love training. However, if you use unpleasant training methods your dog will learn to dislike training, and you!

In the old days, if a dog did not respond well to coercion they said there what something wrong with the dog, and continued to increase the level of force until he finally submitted. If he didn't submit Hey what often labeled defective and rejected for a more compliant one. Especially for those we call "dog enthusiast" who took putting titles on their dog very seriously. I know as I what there and witnessed this periodically. Dog enthusiasts seek dogs for performance whether it's for the obedience ring, agility champions etc.

Old school trainers wants to argue that if you use food, play or toy reinforcements you will never be able to get rid of the food, toy. But in contrast they are never able to get rid of their "corrections".
The problem isn't the food, the toy, or the game the problem is the person delivering the food. Remember that training is both an art and a science.

You can NEVER stop reinforcing behaviour completely. You use occasionally reinforcement. Why? Because behaviours that are not reinforced, extinguish. Our dogs are getting reinforced all the time by the environment, so don't think for one minute your charm alone will defer to you to have the dog.
