Progressive dog behaviour modification utilises positive reinforcement to modify behaviour by breaking down activities into small achievable steps and rewarding the desired behaviour with verbal praise, treats, toys or other rewards.

Rather than punishing undesired behaviour, this approach emphasises gradual learning through rewards. Punishment is an ineffective long-term strategy for training as it often leaves dogs fearful, aggressive and lacking trust in their owners.

In contrast, positive reinforcement encourages desirable behaviours in the future by providing rewards such as treats or toys when they obey instructions well. This helps strengthen the bond between dog and guardian while providing a safe environment where learning can take place without fear of punishment.

Reinforcement strengthens behaviours by making them more likely to recur over time; for example if a dog is regularly rewarded for comming when called then they will become increasingly likely to come when called due to the reward reinforcing this behaviour. Reinforcing wanted alternatives can also help reduce undesirable behaviours; e.g., rewarding alternative behaviours like sitting rather than jumping on humans may result in less jumping occurrences overall over time.

Sign the petition against the use of E-Collars during training. There is no need to use a device which causes fear and pain.

Individually we may be small, but together we can FLY!

Sometimes we have to stand up to be counted. Sometimes it falls on us to voice the voiceless and make sure that our views are represented in Parliament.

You may have heard that the promised ban on Electric Shock collars is on shaky ground and now, more than ever, we need to make our voices heard and do everything we can to make sure this ban goes ahead.

Your local MP (whether you voted for them or not) can make your voice heard and represent your concerns in Parliament by voting on issues, writing to the relevant government minister, asking questions about the issues we raise and even asking for a debate on the topic.

We have set up a page where you can find out all about:

• What contacting you MP can achieve
• What PACT is doing to campaign for change
• How to find and contact your MP
• How to approach contacting them

On top of this we have made available 2 Letter Templates that you can download, tailor and send to your MP. One is for use if you are a dog expert (trainer, behaviourist or any canine professional) and one is for the use of a dog owner/guardian.

PLEASE HELP by sharing this post and the templates with professionals and guardians alike so we can make our voices be heard.
