Dog training is about establishing a communication system between the dog and handler. In the past, the foundation of this communication w
as based on the avoidance of pain - i.e. The emphasis was on what the dog did wrong. By using the principles of operant and classical conditioning - psychological principles that underlay the behavior of all sentient being including humans - the focus has shifted to what the dog does right. By rewarding the behavior we like with food, toys, play, affection, exercise and anything else the dog loves, these desirable behaviors increase in frequency. Likewise by ignoring, redirecting, managing and preventing the behaviors we don't like, the undesirable behaviors decrease in frequency. Not only is this scientific approach extremely effective, it's also much more fun for the dog and handler!
