Learn HOW here (from a professional dog trainer and author specializing in reactivity): youtube.com/live/qO084Kwt28Y "It's absolutely possible to allow a dog to learn in a situation where they feel safe and supported, without the use of pain, force, intimidation. If we're trying to create ways for dogs to live in harmony in society, the way to do that is to live in harmony with them." -Grisha Stewart, professional dog trainer, author, speaker specializing in reactivity

I am a professional dog trainer and have rehabilitated many dogs, you will never be able to RELIABLY alter the dogs behavior without some sort of balanced approach. 90% of my training is positive reinforcement before the armchair trainers come out. Also there is more nuance in punishment than positive reinforcement.

I owned one of the most prey driven aggressive dogs and had worked with many trainers.. positive only trainers could not help him and many of them were to afraid to even try.. thankfully I never gave up on him and was able to manage him.

I think this is a bit misleading. Any trainer worth their salt knows you need two sides of the coin BUT the definition of what is "negative" is important and should never mean inflicting physical pain or anything. For example, ignoring a jumping dog is technically a "negative" as the trainer is withholding attention from the animal which is unpleasant for them. Another example is Cesar Millans classic "Cssshh!" noise with a quick and startling touch... this is "negative" but works very well to break the mindset of a reactive dog if delivered with the correct timing and energy behind it and in conjunction with a strategic rehabilitation programme (obviously not a magic bullet on its on). My 3 dogs have taught me more than any dog trainer ever could. How they interact with each other is facsinating and there is often "negative" corrections delivered from dog to dog in canine language.

I agree but I hate rewarding my Dog with treats. I’ve done this they become food addictive .. I use praised with touch or voice I hate using clicker too .. focus on me not an item

You can not reward a dog out of a bad behavior. Consequences are just as, if not more, important as rewards. You can literally watch dogs interacting with each other, they correct each other a lot. They are not putting treats in a bag and telling each other “good boy”. It’s important to understand their language to communicate effectively with them. I still let my dog know when I’m proud of her and when she has done well but it’s because I corrected the bad stuff first. Check out Julie’s K9 Academy channel, they have a lot of good information and they work with a variety of temperaments.

My dog is still scarred almost 4 years later from being attacked by dogs at the end of our culdesac she will not go to the houses at the end of the culdesac unless she is with my dad or brother and I she will but once she hears a bark she will be scared too

Yea I’m sorry this post shows you no absolutely nothing about training dogs you have certain breeds that you have no choice but to show dominance over that positive stuff may work for a poodle lady but not everyone has a lil candyass dog

Honestly you should never negatively train a dog, it will make them feel uncomfortable and unloved making it hard for the dog to be trained and really understand

Reactive or aggressive dogs can be trained with "POSITIVE" training only. TRUE OR FALSE
