Using Positive Reinforcement And Snacks To Train Your Dog

The best and most successful way to train a dog is to reward train the dog, and using positive reinforcement. This method works best for the owner and the dog, people that use positive reinforcement training swear that it is the absolute best way to train as dog, and that almost every type of dog will respond better to positive reinforced training.

One of the reasons that this style of training is so successful is because it uses snakes or rewards to train the animal. When the pet correctly responds to a command, then you reward them with a snack, petting them, and praising them. The key to successful training is to constantly reward the dog for doing what has been asked of it correctly.

Even though reward training has had a huge increase in the last few years, it has most likely been around for hundreds of years as a type of training between humans and dogs, and other animals.

Dogs in general, are instinctively wired by nature to travel in packs and have a leader. The trainer must therefore set himself as the leader in the relationship. In a dog pack the pack leader provides protections and leadership with helps the pack survive out in the wild.

Not only is it important to set yourself as the pack leader, but you also need to make sure that your dog feels that they are part of the pack. With some dogs it will be a challenge to set yourself as the pack leader, and with others it will be very easy. This will always depend on the personality of the dog you are dealing with.

A dominant dog is always going to be the harder to break and show that you are the leader in the relationship, whereas the more submissive puppies will almost always be easier to train. But, no matter what type of dog you are dealing with you must remember that positive training is the best type of training for both dominant and submissive dogs. There are only a few cases of where positive training with rewards did not successfully work with the dog.

If you get a pet that has behavior issues due to abuse in the past positive training in my opinion is that only way to train such a dog, because you have to build there trust.

It does not matter what type of dog that you are working with, what type of background they come from, weather they are dominant or submissive, positive training with rewards is always your best bet for training you dog.
