Positive Reinforcement Group Play Management
Positive reinforcement handling is a proven way to enhance dogs’ quality of life and can make
your job as a pet care professional much easier. This approach avoids physical punishment,
unpleasant sounds, or harsh scolding and instead uses rewards and praise to promote desired
behavior. Unfortunately, aversive dog handling is still prevalent, and its negative effects on dogs
are vast.
But don’t worry if you grew up with traditional dog training or are unfamiliar with positive
reinforcement methods. Our video discussion explains the ins and outs of this methodology and
the advantages for pets and staff.
Creating safe and healthy environments for dogs starts with staff training. Besides reducing
negative outcomes, a comprehensive positive reinforcement plan also engages dogs and
promotes a sense of playfulness during group sessions.
Furthermore, positive reinforcement training has a broader impact on the business, its staff, and
pets. Happy dogs result in satisfied owners, leading to increased customer retention and revenue.
In conclusion, we should all be advocates of positive reinforcement training and learn as much as
we can about it. Watch our video to learn more.
