There are multiple forms of dog training. From Relationship building, Clicker training, Dominance Training, Balanced training, and Positive reinforcement, Positive Reinforcement is considered by many vets the most effective human method of dog training,
Relationship Building
This method is based on training combining several different methods but mainly focuses on a more personalized approach for dogs and owners. This method meets the needs of both the owner and the dog to establish their connection. For this method to work the owner must know his dog’s psychology body language and how to meet their basic needs before each training session starts.
Clicker Training
It is one of the most highly effective and popular dog training methods. It uses a hand device to create a sound that is used to signify the point at which the dog completes a polite/desirable behavior. A great method for new dog owners,
E-Collar Training
This collar delivers a shock when a dog is not performing the aspired tasks. It’s generally used in distance training when a leash can’t be used. Misuse can cause harm. You also need to work on behaviors before using this device to make it more effective.
Positive Reinforcement
This is part of operant conditioning. When the dog displays good behavior they will get a reward for the accomplishment. The rewards can vary from verbal praise, treats, toys, and affection. Bad or incorrect behavior does not get recognition. This is the most used method by dog trainers.
