Canine Behavior Consultants - Oregon Coast
Force-free dog training uses positive reinforcement to promote desired behaviors, fostering a trusting relationship between dog and human. Rewards like treats and praise are utilized to encourage desired behavior, avoiding physical punishment and fear. This method emphasizes that rewarded behaviors are likely to be repeated and redirects undesirable actions with positive alternatives. It teaches cues and good manners while creating a supportive environment. Suitable for all dogs, this approach enhances learning and promotes a strong bond based on trust and respect.
