Reward Based Training
All the training we do at A2B Dog Training is reward based - no aversive training methods will be used in our classes or during a home visit.
We ask the same of you.
Please remember that training must continue at home for you to see the benefits.
It is 24/7 training.
Some commonly used ‘aversive ’equipment/methods are: Choke chains, slip leads, water pistols and rattle cans.
Basically, anything that is designed to ‘stop’ a behaviour using discomfort, pain or fear.
These methods often only suppress the behaviour and rarely fix the problem, and more often can escalate the problem behaviour.
