Learn our Style of Dog Training

To reinforce good behaviour and correct bad behaviour, we employ the concepts of operant and classical conditioning. Operant and classical conditioning play a crucial role in dog training.

In operant conditioning, dogs learn to associate a specific behaviour with positive or negative reinforcement, leading to an increase or decrease in the frequency of that behaviour. For example, giving a dog a treat after it sits on command reinforces the behaviour, making it more likely for the dog to repeat it.

On the other hand, classical conditioning involves forming an association between a neutral stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus to evoke a response. For instance, the sound of a clicking noise from a clicker can be paired with treats to create a positive association, making the dog more likely to respond to the sound in the future.

Both of these principles of learning can be effectively utilized in dog training to shape desired behaviours and create positive associations.
