Follow one simple suggestion per day to improve your dog’s behaviour and strengthen your bond!
28TH DAY
Focused attention.
Everyone deserves focused attention every once in awhile, even your dog. Really check in with your dog instead of just running through obligatory actions. Do something special on your walk instead of the good old ‘let’s go around the block’. Stop somewhere to practise your basic obedience, play a little game together or simply enjoy the day and have a little cuddle outside. Be present.
And don’t forget to use positive reinforcement to reward your dog.
Positive Dog Training Inner West Sydney
I only use a positive dog training method called ‘positive reinforcement’.
This means using rewards such as treats, cuddles, toys, attention, play etc.
Finding a good dog trainer has never been more difficult than it is today. Finding a professional and experienced dog trainer with the skills and knowledge to help you is difficult enough but the reality is that there are still a lot of old school dominance and punishment-based trainers out there. They continue to use outdated and dangerous methods and equipment to harm the special bond we have with our pets.
I do not use choke or prong collars, head collars etc. or accept or recommend using them. And I do not believe in the old-fashioned pack leadership. I do believe in pack behaviour but I don’t think our dogs are ever trying to ‘take over’ the leadership from us.
My experience is that most of the issues dogs have are caused by our lack of understanding regarding dog behaviour. Something small can easily become a big issue over time. When you know the reason behind a particular behaviour, positive training methods can alter the behaviour in a dog-friendly way.
