Positive Motivation

What is Positive Motivation Training?

Positive motivation is a training method that uses rewards to encourage desirable behaviors and replace undesirable ones.  Punishments and corrections are not used, as they are often less predictable and have unintended side effects.

Positive motivation training has improved the lives of dogs and dog owners everywhere.  When taught properly, anyone can use these methods to train their dogs in a fun, safe way.  There is no risk of damaging the trust between dog and owner.  Shy dogs can learn to be confident and boisterous dogs can learn to be calm.

Not just for dogs...

Used by enlightened animal trainers, teachers, psychologists and coaches, positive motivation training is proven to be the most efficient, effective and humane choice for training all species...including your dog.
