More good advice! I am also a believer in positive reinforcement. I do use a stern voice but try not to ever let that get to a holler. When they are puppies though, just sweet and gentle. I wish I had gotten into the clicker training. I may read up on it again and try with my next puppy. Off to google Karen Pryor myself. Always more to learn! |
I had a terrible relationship with Cash before we clicker trained the Karen Pryor way. Now, we are best buds and little June is being initiated into the clicker training. I know I already posted about training in this thread, but I can't tell you how much it has helped me. I would have had to give Cash away hadn't it been for that. So you can understand why I advise you to use it.
It truly tells your dog that you are on his side and that you love him.
Please try it. Good luck.
