Do you have a question in mind?

1. What is positive dog training?

Positive dog training is a scientifically based, compassionate training method that rewards your dog for desired behaviors. It uses rewards instead of punishments and motivation instead of fear.

2. Why are rewards used instead of punishments?

Because punishment can create fear and insecurity in your dog, rewards help your dog bond with you, increase motivation, and learn behaviors more permanently.

3. Doesn't positive education create indiscipline?

No. Positive training doesn't have any negative effects because it only encourages desired behaviors. Furthermore, the dog isn't harmed physically or psychologically during this process. Discipline is achieved through patience and consistency, not punishment.

4. Can my dog break his bad habits with positive training?

Yes. By understanding the causes of negative behaviors, we teach alternative and desired behaviors using positive methods. This is the healthiest approach to behavioral disorders.

5. Don't other (more drastic) methods give faster results?

While harsh methods may seem to yield short-term results, these behaviors are often fear-based and don't last. Positive training may take longer, but it's based on trust and healthy communication.

6. Are all dog breeds suitable for positive training?

Absolutely yes. Dogs of all breeds and temperaments can be trained using positive methods. Regardless of breed, positive results can be achieved with proper guidance and motivation.

7. Can a dog that has previously experienced negative training be retrained using positive methods?

Yes. Dogs who have previously been exposed to unsafe methods can regain trust over time. This process requires some patience, but successful results are possible with positive approaches.

8. Can I apply positive education myself at home?

Yes. In fact, the most appropriate way to train a dog is for it to be trained alongside its owner. However, to avoid misconceptions and make the process more effective, we recommend professional support. I will guide you through this process.

9. Is positive training based only on food rewards?

No. Food is just one tool. Your dog's favorite toys, games, attention, and praise are also positive reinforcements. But for most dogs, a tasty treat is the most appealing reward.

10. Do I have as much a role in positive dog training as my dog?

Yes. Positive training provides a learning process not only for the dog but also for the owner. Successful training depends on consistent practice and effective communication.

11. Do I have to repeat at home what we learned in sessions?

Absolutely. Just like learning a language, your dog learns and reinforces it through repetition. Behaviors learned during training won't become permanent unless they're implemented in daily life. Short but regular practice is the most effective method.

12. Can I leave my dog completely in your care for training?

Absolutely not . For me, your dogs' peaceful and happy lives come before financial gain. As most dog trainers in the industry know, training solely focused on dogs is often doomed to oblivion.

Moreover, in the positive training process, not only the dog but also the people the dog lives with are trained to read the dog's behavior and mood. Therefore, neither now nor in the future will I provide training services based on the owner's experience. Furthermore, professional support provides guidance, but true success depends on the relationship between the owner and the dog. The trainer is temporary, but you are your dog's lifelong guide. Therefore, working together and practicing are the key elements of success.

13. What should I pay attention to when practicing at home?

Patience, consistency, and reward are key. You should always use the same commands, immediately reward positive behavior, and avoid punishment for mistakes. Positive training focuses on opportunities, not mistakes.
