My Wednesday #dogtrainingtip – when training your dog, remember to practice the behavior – whether it is sit, down, stay, come or something else – it in a variety of environments, with gradually more distractions. And always give value to behaviors with positive reinforcement. For more on proofing – please read my other blog post by clicking here.
Every waking moment of every day and every interaction your dog has with you and the environment is teaching your dog what works, what matters, and what associations to have.
Teaching happens whether we intend it or not. Our interactions cause others to learn positive AND negative associations with situations, and with us.
