Book Preview: 

#1 Positive reinforcement training is the best way to train a dog. It is based on the idea that a dog will learn good behavior by being rewarded for doing well, and that punishment doesn’t have to come in the form of a reprimand or physical force.

#2 Training makes your dog feel safe and secure, which in turn makes him a safer dog. It also helps you instill good values in your children, and bonds you and your dog deeply.

#3 The idea that dogs can be trained using positive reinforcement, rather than aversive punishment, was first developed by veterinarian Ian Dunbar. It was found to be more effective than physical punishment.

#4 The distinction between negative and positive punishment is important when training your dog. With negative punishment, you take away a reward that your dog values, such as not giving them praise or a treat if they jump when you don’t ask them to. With positive punishment, you give them a physical correction such as a sharp rebuke or a yank on a choke chain.
