Dog training for rescue dogs in Gainesville, Florida

USING COMPASSIONATE, POSITIVE, FORCE-FREE METHODS: THE MODERN APPROACH TO CANINE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT Positive-Only methods involve building a lasting, lifetime relationship of trust between the human and dog, it means making it fun for the dog to learn and do what it is asked to do. This is accomplished by teaching the dog to ‘WORK” for a reward, which is either a treat, a favorite toy, or simply playing with you! Dogs see any type of attention, affection, activity or treat as a reward for a job done. It is much easier and repeatable to train a dog using positive-only methods than by the old methods, because the dogs enjoy doing the task and will respond willingly and much more reliably to their training!
