COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY If you do not communicate with your dog that you agree or do not agree, how is the dog to know and learn? Dogs need balanced discipline, not punishment. Never hit or scream at a dog. Dogs do not understand nor interpret anger well. Positive reinforcement is a wonderful training method for keeping a dog from developing bad behavior problems. By rewarding the good, you encourage that behavior. When you have a dog that has already developed a negative behavior, positive reinforcement training does not always work well. For example, tossing a treat when the dog is not growling does not teach the dog not to growl. One cannot fix aggression with treats. This does not mean you are to be overbearing and forceful with your dog.You will need to be balanced.
