What is Positive Reinforcement Really?

There’s a lot of talk in the dog world about positive reinforcement training, but what does that really mean?

Positive reinforcement is defined as adding something positive after a desired behaviour, increasing the likelihood it will happen again in future.

Real-life examples of this would look like giving a dog a treat after they sit, or tossing the ball for a dog after they drop it at your feet. Food and toys are the most common reinforcers used in training, though they are definitely not the only ways you can reinforce behaviour.

In the training world, positive reinforcement is also used as a term to distinguish trainers who do not use aversive methods (using pain or fear to motivate dogs) from those who do. Some other common terms used for positive reinforcement trainers are Force-Free and R+.

Yesterday was National Pet Fire Safety Day. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for an emergency and prevent accidents.

🚨 Have an emergency kit with enough supplies to last for 7 days. This should be in a place that is easy to access.

🚨 Affix a pet alert window cling and write down the number and type of pets inside your house and attach the static cling to a front window. This critical information saves rescuers time when locating your pets.

🚨 Keep electrical chords away from pets who are inclined to chew things.

🚨Never leave pets unattended around candles, fireplaces and space heaters.

🚨Ensure all smoke detectors are in working order.

Always bring water when it’s hot out, and offer it frequently to your dog!
