#2 Aversive Vs. Positive Reinforcement training

Understanding how your dog thinks will give you a better understanding of how your dog behaves. Understanding that the way they look at a situation from the perspective of will this hurt me or am I safe? Do I need to protect myself and attack or can I runaway? This is where psychology comes into play and the science of behaviour. Knowing why your dog freaks out when they hear banging of fireworks, or gets super excited from the sound of a car door slam will help you unravel a lot about your dog. Aversive VS Positive Reinforcement Knowing the difference between these two training methods is very important and knowing why one is actually scientifically better is even more important. How you train your dog will have averse affects on them for their life. Two Studies Dr. Stanley Coren wrote two papers for psychology today. You can find them here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/canine-corner/201404/the-effect-training-method-stress-levels-in-dogs https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/canine-corner/202301/does-it-matter-whether-dog-training-is-positive-or-aversive These are the two studies that I sight. There are a lot more just like these ones that show aversive training isn't the way to go, don't take my word for it. Do your own research and look into the affects both training methods have on dogs. To get in touch Wagging Woofies InstagramFacebook

If you have a dog, you understand the pains that come with having to walk them. There are times where you just want to give up and stop walking them all together because they pull to much or are reactive.

Understanding the leash, understanding your dogs natural movements, and understanding how we as owners can cause a lot of problems will help you as an owner a lot. I give a list of Dos and Don'ts, how to properly hold the leash, how to get your dog focused before a walk, causes of leash aggression and how to avoid them and more. Enjoy the episode and until next time Keep them leashed.
