Positive Reinforcement Dog Training

Some methods to quicken the dog training process is to hand out purposeful and meaningful rewards. Using tempting rewards for good behavior keeps the caliber of your dog's training at a high measure. Simply patting on the head won't do it, as most dogs actually don't enjoy being pat on the head. You can notice how dogs usually shy away or bark when a hand is extended towards their head. Also, just rewarding a good behavior by just giving a pat on the head bores a dog quickly.

The most important incentives would be physical affections and food treats. Most dogs respond most to the two as they're both the most meaningful rewards.

The key in the positive reinforcement dog training is the right timing. Reward your dog with a treat right after everytime your dog obeys a command. When this is done, your dog will understand what the treat is for. You have to do this consistently. If you were to do this only sometimes, then the treat will lose its significant value to your dog and your dog won't learn what the treat means.
