Why Positive Reinforcement is Effective for Training Dogs

Canine Kids only ever uses positive reinforcement at our classes in Surrey and Hampshire, never dominance-based training.

 

This method focuses on rewarding desirable behaviours, and is not only kinder but more effective than punitive training techniques. Let’s take a look at the benefits of this method, and why you should join our classes in Surrey.

 

Positive reinforcement creates a positive learning environment.

 

Animals learn more effectively when they associate training with rewards, whether it’s treats, praise or play. This positive association encourages them to repeat their good behaviours, make them learn and memorise faster.

 

Strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

 

By focusing on rewarding good behaviour rather than punishing bad, you can build trust and mutual respect.

 

Dogs trained with positive reinforcement tend to be more confident and eager to interact. Over time, this is great for the relationship between the two of you.

 

Improve your dog’s behaviour.

 

We all want a well-behaved pet because it makes life easier. Using rewards to reinforce good behaviour encourages dogs to develop habits that make them a pleasure to live with.

 

It’s particularly effective in curbing problematic behaviours, as it encourages pets to focus on what earns them rewards. Our classes in Surrey can ensure your dog consistently responds to commands.

 

Another advantage is the versatility of positive reinforcement.

 

This method can be adapted to train various species and address a wide range of behaviours. It is suitable for animals of all ages, making it an ideal choice for both young and older pets.

 

To sum up, our positive reinforcement training is a compassionate and effective method that benefits both you and your dog. It normally leads to lasting improvements in behaviour.
