Obedience Training is done to enhance the quality of life for
dogs and their owners.  Obedience training is one of the most
foremost ways to create such a relationship.

Although it does require some skill, the more it is practiced,
and the more enjoyable the practice, the stronger the bond
between dog & owner, and the more connected they will be to
each other in the communication process.  As important,
through proper obedience training, the dog is under the
owner's control at all times.


Obedience Training
The primary method of training is the combination of positive
reinforcement and negative punishment - a dog is rewarded for
desired behavior and not rewarded for undesired behavior.  At
no time are harsh methods used.  Timing & consistency are
key elements, as are general confidence, body language, use
of voice, appropriate use of equipment and motivational
rewards for the dog.

All leading edge training methods make virtually exclusive use
of positive reinforcement these days, so there is no reason to
hammer obedience into the dog using aversives anymore.
