We use reward-type training, which is a good and effective method to create a dog's behavior. This non-physical force method shapes the dog's behavior and builds a bond between dog and owner.
Reward-based learning
Reward-based training or positive training means rewarding your dog for good behavior with treats, pats, treats, or anything else your dog likes.
For example: Your dog likes to swim, make swimming a reward, for example for obedience training. Or, if your dog wants to jump out of the car, ask for eye contact and only then allow him to get out.
First, teach the dog the behavior with treats and then, when everything is clear to the dog, reduce them to the norm.
Time
The timing of the award is very important. You need a signal so that you can confirm to the dog that the behavior he is performing is correct. During training, you must choose a marker or signal that you will use when the dog behaves well. Your dog will learn that the marker signal is what will earn him a treat and what he needs to do to earn that marker signal.
By clearly defining the desired
Before you start training, it is very important to evaluate the behavior you want. This includes both good behavior that we reward and behavior that we don't.
All family members need to follow the same rules and reward the dog for correct behavior. Constant clear cooperation will allow the dog to develop this behavior faster and eliminate the unwanted behavior if everyone cooperates equally.
Use positive reinforcement
Reward your dog for good behavior and be proactive. If you notice your dog walking off-leash, praise and reward him for it. If your dog sees another dog and doesn't respond, praise and reward him. Treats, petting or playing will help your dog understand what you expect from him, making it more likely that the dog will repeat all these behaviors.
Prevents or ignores unwanted behavior
Example: If your dog notices another dog and pulls to him, you don't want to reinforce this behavior of “I see another dog, I pull and I want to meet”. In this situation, stop and hold the leash so that the dog cannot jump forward. You can also prevent the dog's behavior by leaving the treat or starting play. You are showing the dog that pulling will not get him what he wants. Stand still until the leash starts to come loose as you approach the next dog.
