Positive reinforcement involves rewarding your dog for displaying desirable behaviors, and ignoring behaviors you don’t like. In addition to your dog’s favorite treats, positive reinforcement also include lavish praise, extra playtime, car rides, and a romp in the yard.

Here are important benefits that your dog can enjoy with positive reinforcement:

• Positive reinforcement can be used by any member of the family to train your dog. It is a method where everyone, even kids can help in the training. With your supervision, your kids will be able to understand the importance of positive reinforcement in dog training.
• Positive reinforcement gives you the chance to communicate clearly with your dog. You control your dog’s behavior by rewarding him when he does things correctly. Your pooch will be more likely to repeat good behaviors when he knows a reward is waiting.

Consult with your animal hospital Highland if you have concerns about your dog’s behavior.
