In part one we talked about when affection might not be the best way to handle a behaviour! (Psst! Go check out that post if you missed it!)

So when should you be giving your love and affection (we of course all want to!)? When your bestie is in a relaxed and calm state, this is a great time to give them some love, cuddles, and praise!

Want to know more about how to use positive reinforcement for training? My DMs are always open!

Giving love and affection at the right times makes all the difference, for both behaviours and your dog’s mental health!

Your dog’s brain works differently from yours, so responding to their behaviours will look (and feel!) a little different than what you would expect!

Rewarding negative or dangerous behaviours with affection and positive reactions teaches our furry friends that that behaviour is a-ok or even necessary! Instead, we recommend a short, and firm boundary that shows your dog where the line is, and keeps your dog in a healthy mental state.

Want to learn more about how you can support your dog in these difficult situations?
Book a training appointment today and I can help you learn how to make this change!

And look out for part 2!

Three ways to train your puppy or dog;

1. Toys
2. Food
3. Love and affection

All three ways work the same!

When your dog does something correctly, you reinforce the behaviour using one of these three options, a toy, some kibble, love and affection. In many cases a dog will prefer one option over the others, so playing around with all three to see which will work best is a good idea!

Research confirms that dogs have a calming affect on humans!

Simply petting a dog can reduce the stress hormone cortisol. And socially interacting with your dog actually increases levels of oxytocin, our feel-good hormone.

How amazing is it that we can increase our oxytocin while decreasing our cortisol, as a result of having and loving our furry friends and family members!

Of course there is the other side of things, where behaviours, anxieties, and other common issues can arise. When this happens our stress can be increased instead of decreased. That’s where I come in!

DM to set up a training appointment today, and get back to enjoying the many benefits of having a dog as part of your family!
