Dog Training - The Reward Way

 
Copyright 2006 Mdarma

The Reward method is probably the oldest form of training a dog. Most probably, this form of Dog Training may have started from early days when wolf pups were trained. However, there is a misconception that rewarding is a morden type of training. The misconception could be due to the reason that reward training became popular over the past 15 odd years.

Many reward-training enthusiasts are less enthusiastic about other forms of dog training, such as the traditional leash and collar method. However, the best approach to training any individual dog is often a combination of leash | collar training and reward training.

We must bear in mind that there is no one method that is suitable to all dogs or breeds. You must be alert to watch, how you dog respond to the various types of trainings. Some dogs respond wonderfully to reward training and they may not be encouraging at all, to leash and collar training, while others respond to leash/collar training woderfully and are not at all motivated by reward training. Most reward training uses some sort of food reward, or a reward that is associated with getting food. Usually, teaching complex behaviors can be easily overcome using this kind of positive reinforcement, and you will find that the people who train dogs for movies and television use reward training almost exclusively.

Clicker Method

Another kind of interesting training method is using the clickers. Surprising, clicker training is one of the method many dog owners prefer to use. In clicker training, the dog is taught to associate a clicking sound with a reward, like a treat. The trainer clicks the clicker when the dog does something good, followed immediately by a treat. Eventually, the dog learns to respond to the clicker alone.

It makes a great deal of sense to get the dog to perform the desired behavior without any physical intervention on the part of the handler. Getting the dog to perform a behavior without being touched is important.

To enforce positive reinforcement, it is wise to reward your dog with a teat. After the dog has performed what you instructed the dog to do, giving a reward is encouraged. Giving reward or treat is a method adopted by many dog trainers and praise, such as 'good dog' or a pat on the head, can also be an effective rewards.

For your information, uniformed groups when training their dogs, adopt the rewarding method extensively. These trainings include scent detection, tracking and other related services used by the military and police forces.
