IT'S A NO FROM US 🙅♀️
We use only Positive Reinforcement training methods here at IdaBoss Dog Training!
Why?
Well, here's what positive reinforcement builds:
💙 Trust: Your dog learns that you’re safe, kind, and worth listening to.
💙 Confidence: Instead of fearing mistakes, your dog is excited to try and get it right.
💙 Better behaviour: You’re not just stopping unwanted behaviour - you’re replacing it with something better, making your dog more inclined to do what you’re asking of them.
What does fear based training build?
🙅♀️ Fear: It's in the title for a reason. Your dog will learn to fear you, and won't stop the unwanted behaviours, they'll simply start doing it when you aren't around.
🙅♀️ Aggression: Your dog will start to see you as a threat & will feel the need to protect themselves and their possessions, leading to aggressive behaviour.
🙅♀️ Distrust: Your relationship with your dog won't be a happy nor healthy one, as it will have been built on fear and not trust.
🙅♀️ Long term problems: All of the above means long term issues down the road like resource guarding, reactivity when out and about, barking & destruction.
Choosing positive reinforcement training means saying NO to instilling fear and anxiety in your dog, which has been scientifically proven to be linked to aggression and reactivity in dogs. So, whilst fear based training can seem effective at the time, you’re actually creating bigger problems for you and your dog in the long run as well as chipping away at the bond that you share if you choose that training route.
When you choose IdaBoss Dog Training, you choose Positive Reinforcement 💙🐾
