How to Reward Your Dog

How to Reward Your Dogthumbnail
Dogs respond well to positive reinforcement.

Using positive reinforcement as a reward system will help your dog learn desirable behavior. Using command words and consistency when rewarding your dog can help it become familiar with what you expect from it. Once you've established a reward system for your dog, you can establish a satisfying relationship with it.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Avoid punishing your dog. Unless you can catch your dog in the middle of something undesirable, your dog won't understand why you're upset.

    • Dogs who receive punishment may resort to bad behaviors, such as chewing and aggression.

    • Don't reward bad behaviors, such as letting your dog outside to bark when it hears a noise. Your dog gains access to the yard and feels that it can bark when it hears any sound.
