recall and many more its very important to first understand the dogs reason for behaving certain way. Positive training techniques are fair, kind and effective ,using positive tra

ining techniques provides the best chance of raising a confident, predictable adult dog. It’s important that we teach our dogs what we would like them to do in a given situation, whilst maintaining their confidence in the world and in us. The basic premise is to reward behaviour you do like and re-direct behaviour you don’t like. Positive trainers use positive reinforcement (rewarding the behaviour we like) and negative punishment (removing things that your dog likes - kindly and fairly. Research has shown that aversive methods (such as a smack on the nose with a newspaper , physical punishment) or the use of aversive devices such as choke chains, shock collars, spray devices may actually cause aggression and that one of the potential fallouts of aversive punishment methods is that a dog may associate punishment with something that is not the target of the punishment – for example when a dog is punished for perceived bad behaviour near a child, the dog may associate the punishment with the child as opposed to the bad behaviour. What may happen is that the dog will begin to fear children – the dog begins to growl at children and is punished as a result, this leads to the dog becoming more fearful of children and beginning to growl when they are further away – we now have a potentially dangerous situation which could have been avoided with the use of positive training techniques.
