At least I know I am doing it!

It scares me that people still don't know this.<br /><br />One of the better discussions of this I've read is http://www.clickersolutions.com/articles/2001/ocguide.htm<br /><br />From what I've seen, the best trainers out there work exclusively with positive reinforcement, and lots of it.<br /><br />There are still "old school" trainers out there who pride themselves on never resorting to "crutches" like food or toys. Avoid them, please.chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824910270849561379noreply@blogger.com
