CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement training uses a reward (treats, praise, toys, anything the dog finds rewarding) for desired behaviors. Because the reward makes them more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -When negative reinforcement learning has been achieved, the animal performs the desired behaviour when the unpleasant experience is predicted so as to prevent the experience from occurring. Positive reinforcement occurs when an animal receives something it desires for doing a behavior1.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a positive punishment training program, the dog’s undesirable behaviors are punished by adding an aversive. Some of these include sudden loud noises (e.g. cans with coins and air horns), a spray bottle, a chin “cuff” (a smack), a muzzle hold, and pinning the dog to the floor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Remember positive means to add something and reinforcement means the behavior increases. By giving your dog something they love (the positive) when they sit, they will sit more often in the future (the reinforcement). This is also referred to as rewarding your dog.
