Use Positive Reinforcement

Use this whenever you want to teach your dog what to do, not just what to stop doing.

Key Ideas

  1. 1Notice a behavior you want to see again.
  2. 2Reward your dog right after that behavior happens.
  3. 3Use something your dog finds rewarding, such as food, play, praise, or affection.
  4. 4Repeat in real-life moments so the behavior becomes worth doing again.
  5. 5Adjust your approach based on what works for your individual dog.

Reward what you want repeated.
