Listening to Dr Sophia Yin, I really like how she doesn’t criticise others (despite being a world renowned authority on dog-training); she speaks in a very helpful way.
Dr Sophia Yin, RIP.
In the video above, you can watch by interview with Dr. Sophia Yin, a veterinarian and world-renowned animal behaviorist. She believes training your dog comes down to rewarding the behaviors you want and removing rewards for unwanted behavior, all with the right timing.
Yin also teaches dog owners to learn how to read their dog’s body language and make training a fun, positive experience. In teaching your dog to sit, for instance, you may use 30 positive reinforcements (i.e., treats) within a couple of minutes. And this is just one example.
Yin also discusses how she helps owners train their dogs to control their impulses, and the importance of training not just desirable behaviors but also teaching the dog that good behavior is a habit. You can find out more in the video above.
Positive Reinforcement Is Key
No matter what type of training method you choose, remember that positive reinforcement is key. The use of choke collars and other forms of punitive behavior training can harm your dog, physically and emotionally, and damage the bond between you.
In addition, negative training methods primarily teach your dog what not to do to avoid getting punished. What they miss is the important step of teaching your dog desirable behaviors in their place.
Working with a positive dog trainer can be helpful, but you can also try the simple positive-reinforcement training method that follows. This method can be used along with Do As I Do training to teach your dog good behavior and more using a fun, positive method.
