Positive & Negative Motivation
- In order to start up the training you must treat your dog in a motivational way. For example you can offer your dog a food treat, or rub her or anything you think she would enjoy in order to give her a positive motive to do something you want.
- Another way to prevent your dog from doing something you don’t want is to use a negative motivation, like taking his toys, or ignore her.
Example: In order to support/reinforce a behavior you should for example rub her tummy when she sits beside your bed, or you can spray water on her face when she climbs on your bed and stop as soon as she gets off.
