💡Quick tips for positive dog behaviour management

Positive dog management helps pet parents manage their own behaviour towards their dog which helps guide the dog's behavioural development.

If a dog is misbehaving then that behaviour is an expression of an unmet need or an emotional struggle. Try to understand where your dog is coming from especially during challenging moments and never punish your dog for undesired behaviours.

Instead of creating negative associations associated with punishment or correction training, you want to help change how your dog feels around or towards the stimulus that is triggering their unwanted behaviour. So, instead of them feeling nervous or scared – you want to help create positive associations which leads them to feel happy, relaxed, and safe.

Create a safe environment for your dog. Dogs need to explore and be in a world that is not going to cause them distress or pain. Remove any potential dangers that could trigger your dog and over time introduce them again slowly using positive reinforcement to create good associations.

Have realistic expectations. Dogs are not robots.

Delight in the moment you have where you connect with your dog. Discover your dog’s strengths and make notes of what your dog likes to do and do more of those things.

The opposite to a dopamine rush when a dog is rewarded is a cortisol rush when they are punished or stressed in some other way. Cortisol exists as part of a stress response, that keeps a dog safe. When the dog feels threatened or worried their brain and body does something different – it prepares them for fight or flight, so their normal functions lower and their muscles fill with adrenaline. One of the normal functions that changes during this response, is the ability to learn. So, punishment makes learning harder, whilst positive reinforcement makes it easier.
