One of the most important concepts that every new pet owner must learn, if they want to become an effective dog trainer, is how to motivate their dog to want to follow commands and participate in training.
When people first begin to train their dog many confuse “rewarding their dog” with “motivating their dog”. While these two concepts are very close in nature there is a difference. The sooner a handler learns the subtleties of these differences the sooner they become effective trainers.
Simply put motivating a dog means creating an environment where the dog has a desire to perform an exercise.
When handlers learn the art of motivation they take there training one step further and create an atmosphere where the dog wants to learn. They create an atmosphere where their dog actively tries to figure out what it is that his owner is trying to teach him.
This e-book (or podcast) will discuss the different ways to motivate a dog during training.
