3 Why Train Your Dog?
- Dogs have their own special needs and natural
instincts. A well trained dog requires fewer
restrictions because the more reliable the dog,
the more freedom he is given. It is important
that we educate ourselves while we teach our dogs
how to fit in to make the best possible situation
for both dog and human. Obedience training is the
most important training for not only ensuring
your dogs safety but also help your dog to
become more responsive.

4Consequences Of An Untrained Dog
- Untrained dogs are more likely to misbehave which
results in the suffering of others. Dogs if not
trained properly by their owners increases the
chance of dog bites. Here is some statistics on
dog bites in the U.S - 4.5 million U.S residents are bitten by dog bites
each year - Children are the most common victims of dog bites
- Senior citizens are the second most common
dog-bite victims - Postal delivery people are the third most common
victims

7Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement
- Positive Reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement works by presenting a
motivating/reinforcing stimulus to the animal
after the desired behavior is exhibited, making
the behavior more likely to happen in the future. - EX Giving a dog a treat (positive stimulus) when
they lay down (behavior).
