Positive Reinforcement Training
Positive reinforcement training involves rewarding desired behaviors with treats, praise, or toys. This technique focuses on encouraging good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior.
Clicker Training
Clicker training uses a small device that makes a clicking sound to mark the exact moment a dog performs a desired behavior. This method helps to clearly communicate to the puppy what behavior is being rewarded.
Socialization
Socialization is crucial for puppies to learn how to interact with other dogs, people, and different environments. Exposing puppies to various experiences in a positive and controlled manner can help prevent behavior problems in the future.
Technology-Assisted Training
In 2024, technology-assisted training tools such as interactive toys, treat-dispensing cameras, and virtual training programs can aid in teaching and reinforcing good behavior in puppies. These tools can provide additional support and engagement in the training process.
