How to raise a dog without physical or verbal corrections
What if there was a way to train your dog without corrections? I mean, without verbal or physical corrections.
Would you?
You can train your dog without corrections, and it's easier than you think.
In dog training there is a thing called, negative punishment. Negative punishment simply means that you retain your dog desirable to show you are doing something wrong.
An example would be when you're teaching your dog to sit. If your dog does not feel, not just rewards. When he does, reward him. Your dog will learn to think before passing the problem. Once rewarded a couple of times the correct answer and is not a reward for an incorrect answer, your dog will understand that sitting is the action that wins the prize.
Why train your dog so it is best to use corrections? I'll be honest, corrections, when used properly, accelerate the training process, however, there is a big drawback when you train your dog. That drawback is that your dog learns to respond to avoid the correction.
Let me explain this, if you correct your dog a lot of times, either physically or verbally with a collar, the dog will listen just because you want to avoid the correction. What happens is that your dog does not really work. He's just doing it to avoid punishment.
When punishment is used to remove negative correction. Just hold the reward. Once the dog learns what you want to do, I will repeat more often and more vigorously than before, because you have not put the stress that can lead to a correction. This develops what we call an "active learner".
Active learning means that when faced with a problem dog discover and solve. Try new things, give you answers, and never fail to give rewards. The correction-based training often make the dog freezes when faced with a problem.
Patience is a virtue here. If you're impatient, you will benefit from this type of training because they will learn to be patient. Removing the corrections in the training process will help you improve your patience.
Dog training should not be difficult. There should be a task to be feared. With a little patience, willingness to learn, and training commensurate with their dog, training will become more fun, more rewarding and successful.
Try this with your dog. The next time you're simply denies the reward training until your dog responds correctly. When he does, praise him and give him his reward. Rinse and repeat for long-term results.
