🐾What is Positive Reinforcement?

🐶 A Simple Explanation

Positive reinforcement means:

👉 Rewarding behaviors you want to see more of.

🧠 How It Works

Dogs repeat behaviors that are rewarded.

Examples:

• Sit → treat → more sitting

• Calm → praise → more calm behavior

✔ Praise

✔ Toys

✔ Play

👉 Whatever your dog loves!

🚫 Common Misconceptions
