What are your training methods?

We use  reward based methods. Rewards are given and rewards are taken away. More specifically--Positive Reinforcement and Negative Punishment. Positive Reinforcement is the presentation of something rewarding immediately following an approved behavior! This principle makes the behavior more likely to occur in the future, and is one of  the most powerful tools for shaping or changing your pup's behavior.  Negative punishment reduces a behavior by taking away Something Good. If the animal was enjoying or depending on Something Good she will work to avoid it getting taken away. They are less likely to repeat a behavior that results in the loss of a Good Thing. Things like biting, jumping up, barking, etc...
