Positive Reinforcement

Commands don't make things happen! Your dog's reward history is responsible for their behavior.

Reward-Based Training is something you can use to create good habits and to eliminate unwanted behaviors.

Punishment

Punishments should NOT hurt or scare your dog! Aversive training methods go by many names, but they all punish dogs through fear and pain. The dog behaves to avoid the discomfort.

Reward Removals effectively reduce unwanted behavior without pain, intimidation, or their side-effects.

Rewards Build Bonds

Filson Dog School wants to help you communicate with your dog by giving and removing rewards. Training your dog should NOT hurt your dog, or make you feel abusive!

Learn how to train with scientific methods that build your relationship with your dog.
