Sometimes a dog has toys galore, szueakers, balls, and many more; fancy collars, sweaters too, a doghouse painted red or blue. A dog needs love for health and joy, but most of all he needs a boy.

SitStayFetch - Dog Training To Stop Your Dog Behavioral Problems!
Most pet owners want to train their dogs in the most humane way possible. Most dog training experts agree that a technique call ”positive reinforcement training“, or as it is also called "dog positive power training," is the best way to train your dog. Using this way training your dog becomes a pleasure for you and your dog. No need to use any cruel ways. An excellent e-book that can help you with this is: ”SitStayFetch,“ Stop all your dog's behavior problems in a positive way.
For us normal human beings ”positive reinforcement training,“ also referred to as ”Dog Positive Power Training“ simply means that you reward your dog every time she does something right. Rewarding the behavior that you approve of and ignoring bad behavior of is the basics of this method. As You'll see in SitStayFetch training your dog in this manner is far less stressful for you and your dog.
To be honest, I am very glad this method ”positive reinforcement training“, also referred to as ”Dog Positive Power Training“ is gaining popularity over the inhumane methods once used. Using physical pain, intimidation or aversion techniques has always been very upsetting for me when I witnessed it. (I never even dreamed of using it for a second.) Hanging a dog by her collar or using a shock collar has just never been an option for me. This is why I am so happy that an e-book such as ”SitStayFetch“ is teaching people how to train their dogs in a humane way.
This technique of ”positive reinforcement training“ or ”dog positive power training“ works with your dog. Your dog has a natural instinct to please you and this is what the theory of positive reinforcement or positive power recognizes. If your dog can figure out for herself what it you are asking of her, the lesson tends to stick a lot better, StySitFetch has all the details about this technique. With positive reinforcement training or dog positive power training, you are allowing your dog to use her own brain to figure out what it is you want her to do. You’re allowing her time to do so. This approach is explained fully inSitStayFetch.
How to stop Dog Behavior problems?
Here are ways that this ”Dog Positive Power Training“ or ”Positive Reinforcement Training“ can be facilitated:
1. The rewards must be meaningful:
It is of no use to giving a reward your dog is bored with. How far do you think a pat on the head and a ”good girl“ will go? For ”Dog Positive Power Training“ or ”Positive Reinforcement Training,“ as you’ll see in SitStayFetch the treat really has to be a ”treat.“ Watch your dog’s expressions and you’ll notice that she probably don’t even like a pat on the head! ) To keep the quality of your dog’s learning at a high standard, use tempting incentives to reward good behavior. Food treats and physical affection are what dog trainers refer to as ”primary incentives“ – in other words, they’re both significant rewards that most dogs respond powerfully and reliably to.
2. Your timing has to be right:
For ”Dog Positive Power Training“ you have to mark right behavior the moment your dog does the right thing. There must be no doubt in her mind what the reward is for. Making use of a clicker and clicking it the moment she does the right thing, id one way some people use. You have to make sure though that she get her reward right after the click! As you'll see in SitStayFetch it is also possible to use your voice as a marker. Saying ”yes“ or any other word in an excited and happy way the moment she responds in the right way can also serve as a marker. When using your voice as a marker you must use the same word every time otherwise it will not work and using different word will only serve to confuse your dog and will not work.
3. Your commands have to be consistent:
When you’re teaching a dog a command, you have to decide ahead of time on the verbal cue you’re going to be giving her, and then you have to stick to it. When training your dog to not jump up on you, you cannot ask her to ”get off“, ”get down“, and ”stop jumping“, this will only confuse her; you’d pick the one phrase you are going to use, such as ”No jump“, and stick with it. Even the smartest dogs don’t understand English – they need to learn, through consistent repetition, the actions associated with a particular phrase. Her rate of obedience will be much better if you choose one particular phrase and use it every time you wish her to enact a certain behavior for you.
4. Now we have to figure out a meaningful reword for her:
Your dog has her favorite treat, something she loves. The treat can be some physical show of demonstration or her favorite ”Bite“ if she is the kind of dog that loves food. Anything that works for your dog will be right. You’ll probably already have a fair idea of how much she enjoys being touched and played with – each dog has a distinct level of energy and demonstrativeness, just like humans do. SitstayFetch can give you good ideas.
Dogs have their preferences but, I’ve found that dogs really love to be scratches on the base of the tail (the lowest part of the back just before the tail start.) Scratching or rubbing her scratching her chest may also be a kind of treat she loves. You can also target the ears: gently rub the ear flap between your thumb and finger, or scratch gently at the base.
For the food treats you should not have any trouble figuring out what your dog loves. When it comes to food, trainers have noted an interesting thing: dogs actually respond most reliably to training commands when they receive treats sporadically, instead of predictably. Intermittent treating seems to keep dogs on their toes, and more interested in what might be on offer - it prevents them from growing tired of the food rewards, and from making a conscious decision to forego a treat.
Now we get to correcting your dog in a meaningful way:
With ”positive reinforcement training“ or ”dog positive power training“ you never have to do anything that goes against your grain. As you’ll see in ”SitStayFetch“ you’ll never be called upon to do any difficult correctional methods and you’ll never have to take harsh measurements in correcting your dog.
I think the single one, most powerful technique we learn from ”positive reinforcement training“ or ”dog positive power training, is, to simply ignore bad behavior. Your dog craves attention and, if you deliberately ignore her, she’ll be miserable and this is what makes it such a powerful tool to use when you are correcting her.
Contemporary belief in dog training states that we should simply ignore incorrect responses to a training command - that, with no reinforcement from us (yes, even negative attention - like verbal corrections - counts as reinforcement: to some dogs, negative attention is better than no attention at all), the dog will stop the behavior of her own accord.
So, the most important point of ”positive reinforcement training“ or ”dog positive power training“ is to make a big fuss when she does the right thing during training and simply ignoring her when she does not do what you wanted her to do.
The bigger the fuss you make over her when she does get it right, the clearer the connection will be between a particular behavior(s) eliciting no response at all, but other behaviors (the right response) eliciting massive amounts of positive attention from you.
