Why force-free dog training, and what is it?
Force-free training is teaching a dog what to do using positive reinforcement rather than punishment. It:
- takes into account how dogs learn bestÂ
- is more effective, safe, and humane than other methods
- intrinsically motivates dogs to work (because they enjoy it!)Â
- establishes mutual trust, strengthening your bondÂ
- encourages dogs to use their amazing brains to problem solveÂ
- does not cause pain or fearÂ
- Â works for all dogs, all ages, all behaviour problems. Not just great for puppies or friendly dogs.Â
