AVERSIVE TRAINING METHODS: NO, THANKS!

There are 2 approaches when training dogs.The use of aversives as punishers and the +R

Both methods work. For the easiness of the explanations in this report I will say that both have the same effectiveness. But, the aversive approach has the potential of many negative side effects, visible and no visible.

So, why would you choose a potentially dangerous technique ?

Aversive training methods are based on punishment and have psychological and physical consequences for your pet.

The only thing your pet learns is that it cannot trust you.

He neither knows why he is being punished nor what he should do instead.

So make sure that your pet has fun during training and understands what you want.

Rewards and learning successes will motivate your pet to continue learning and your bond will benefit immensely!
