Positive reinforcement dog training systems

There is much confusion in relation to positive reinforcement dog training-how it works, whether it works properly as a stand alone system, etc.   I recently came across a summary of the 4 critical elements of a positive reinforcement training system that really works:

1: A positive reinforcement dog training course must deal with positive reinforcement only. And it must be stated that in its coverage.  One positive reinforcement dog training expert, insists that "many books will attempt to hide the fact that you have hit, drag, even throw links on your animals to get it to perform".   He was exaggerating a little here-I am aware of a training method, as the Advocate General take a small piece of the chain on the floor near the dog to get those dogs immediate attention.  I was taught this method even when my dogs were puppies.  File handling terribly anxious method, but it certainly does not involve animal cruelty.  However, he has a point.

And Yes, these other dog training methods will work, but your dog could end up being a little cautious with you.  Positive reinforcement dog training, teach you on the other hand, how to solve behavior problems without even touching your dog.

2: Any positive reinforcement dog training system needs have very specific instructions on how to deal with each behavior, that may arise. It shall cover at least the basics of how to get started, including the following behaviors, which you will want to encourage or discourage as and when appropriate:

Sit
Stay
Lie down
Come
Crate training
Barking
Bites
Jump
Potty Training
Aggression
Fear (ie. Vacuum Cleaners)
Cord control

3: it is also preferable to have a dog training method, which results in your dog will be trained to perform all these behaviors with hand cues.  Hand cues you can take training to the next level.

A well-trained dog must learn to master all the basic behaviors with Visual cues and hand signals, sound signals. Your dog will not always be able to hear them. He may be in a noisy park or lose his hearing with old age, and will be dependent on your signals to still obey, even when he does not hear you.

4: A positive reinforcement dog training manual should also cover the more difficult behaviors and not only focus on training your dog to a merely tolerable level.

Any training method should create confidence.  If your dog does not trust you, or, God forbid, is afraid of you, to some extent, you get the best out of your dog.  It is this extra confidence, which will take your relationship with your dog to the next level.  And you can use positive reinforcement dog training to achieve some quite spectacular results.  And it can give you the benefit of a very deep bond with your dog.
