Training Your Dog Using Reinforcements

Replace your dog’s bad habits with good habits through reinforcement. This form of dog training is very rewarding for you and for your dog or puppy.

If it annoys you that every time someone comes to visit, your dog jumps all over them, then you need to find some other way for your furry friend to greet guests.

Start by determining what you would like your dog to do.

Maybe you would prefer that he come and site by your side when people arrive. Then work on teaching your dog to sit, and reward him heavily with praise and treats when he does.

With this technique, you are teaching your dog a new habit to replace the bad behavior that you want to break by replacing the bad behavior with something that brings praise and rewards.
