NORTH FLORIDA K9 BEHAVIOR CENTER Using Compassionate, Positive-Only Methods to Help Your Pet Dog - The Modern Approach to Canine Behavior Management
(23)

There is never any need to yell, scold, intimidate or otherwise destroy the human-canine bond between you and your pet! Anyone who yells and screams at a dog, or advocates or practices using these methods of communicating and interacting with a dog, really knows nothing about dogs, or is just lazy, and should be avoided at all costs, for the sake of the dog. 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.

The Modern Approach To Canine Behavior, Training and Treatment

USING COMPASSIONATE, POSITIVE, FORCE-FREE METHODS - THE MODERN APPROACH TO CANINE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

In recent years, the entire philosophy and methodology of dog training have undergone fundamental changes, which are thankfully being put into practice by more and more modern dog trainers. From a behavioral standpoint, our understanding of how dogs think has also finally evolved, and the way we relate-to and train our canine companions has now evolved with it. Gone are the days of the "Alpha dog" and "pack leader" mentality and the dominance myth when it comes to how we believe dogs think, and thankfully gone are the days of using archaic, outdated often cruel and painful methods and devices to train dogs.
