Why Train Your Dog?

• Dogs have their own special needs and natural
  instincts. A well trained dog requires fewer
  restrictions because the more reliable the dog,
  the more freedom he is given. It is important
  that we educate ourselves while we teach our dogs
  how to fit in to make the best possible situation
  for both dog and human. Obedience training is the
  most important training for not only ensuring
  your dogs safety but also help your dog to
  become more responsive.

Consequences Of An Untrained Dog

  results in the suffering of others. Dogs if not
  trained properly by their owners increases the
  chance of dog bites. Here is some statistics on

• 4.5 million U.S residents are bitten by dog bites
  each year
• Children are the most common victims of dog bites

  dog-bite victims

  victims

Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement

• Positive Reinforcement
• Positive reinforcement works by presenting a
  motivating/reinforcing stimulus to the animal
  after the desired behavior is exhibited, making
  the behavior more likely to happen in the future.
• EX Giving a dog a treat (positive stimulus) when
  they lay down (behavior).
