Positive reinforcement is more than just a training method; it's a celebration of the bond between dogs and their owners. By rewarding good behavior, we tap into the science of dopamine release, ensuring our dogs associate these actions with positive feelings. While there are many tools to aid in this training, like clickers and treat pouches, the key lies in timing and consistency. As one of Portland's top trainers, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of positive reinforcement. From terriers to retrievers, every dog can benefit from this approach, leading to happier, more confident pets.
