We use positive reinforcement centered training plans to modify behavior. But what does that mean, and how does that differ from other training methods? There are a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions about dog training, dog behavior, and animal behavior in general. To make a long story short, humans have been trying to use punishment as a technique for changing animal behavior for a very long time. What scientists have found, through thousands of studies of hundreds of different species, is that if you are trying to teach any organism, any new behavior, punishment - decreasing the likelihood of a behavior - is not as effective of a teacher as reinforcement - increasing the likelihood of a behavior. Animals learn faster, with more retention, and with better accuracy when we use positive reinforcement centered training plans to modify behavior.
