Misconception About Reactivity in Dog Training: The Role of Treats A common misconception in training reactive dogs is that using treats (or rewards) during walks or training sessions encourages or reinforces the undesired behavior. In reality, the opposite is true. By rewarding calm, settled behavior, we’re reinforcing non-reactive actions, not the reactivity itself. When a dog displays reactive behavior, such as barking or lunging, it's often a response to something in the environment that triggers them. However, by rewarding a dog for remaining calm or for settling down, we're essentially teaching them that staying calm in the presence of a trigger is the more rewarding choice. key is timing, calm behaviour being present and not being forced, seeking help from a professional can be the difference in your success ❤️ #ethicaltrainer #sharepublicspaces #safety #treats #rewarding #reactivity #training #youdontneedtobestressed #dogtraining #Misconceptions If you’d like to achieve calmness 🐾 Meassge us or call to arrange a free discovery call 📞 ⬇️⬇️
