We train dogs using fun, not force. Traditional dog training involves the use of corrective collars, “listen or else…”. Not only do these methods increase stress for the dog, but also the handler. Stress and anxiety can lead to timid or aggressive behaviour, and is not necessary in training your dog. If you are still unsure, ask your trainer about the benefits of using positive reinforcement.
