What is positive-reinforcement based dog training?

Positive reinforcement dog training is one of the most powerful methods that can change your dog’s behavior. Positive reinforcement focuses on rewarding and praising your dog when they are performing a specific behavior that you want and ignoring the behaviors that you don’t want. When utilizing this training method correctly, you can expect less of the following:

 

  • Aggression

  • Biting

  • Separation Anxiety

  • Behavior Problems

  • Leash Pulling/Leash Reactivity


At Sit’s Getting Real, our dog behaviorists in San Diego use positive reinforcement-based techniques to help you create a rewarding, positive experience for both you and your four-legged friend. Both Amanda and Tomas are committed to creating a positive learning environment for you and your dog. Positive reinforcement training not only helps your dog, but also helps create a deeper, more meaningful bond with its owner.
