What Will You Learn?

• Would you like a dog who listens more reliably, walks more calmly, comes when called and understands what you are asking — without relying on fear, intimidation or harsh corrections?
• **Positive Reinforcement Dog Training** is a practical, step-by-step course designed to help you understand how dogs learn and how to use that knowledge to build reliable everyday behaviour.
• Rather than simply showing you a collection of commands, this course teaches you **how to become a better trainer**.
• You'll learn why your dog behaves the way they do, how reinforcement changes behaviour, how to communicate clearly and how to make training enjoyable for both you and your dog.
• ## What You'll Learn

• * Understand how dogs learn using the **ABC model of behaviour**

• ## More Than an Obedience Course
• Good dog training isn't simply about teaching Sit or Stay.
• It's about understanding **why behaviour happens**.
• Throughout the course, you'll learn to stop asking:
• **“How do I stop my dog doing this?”**
• and start asking:
• **“What would I like my dog to do instead — and how can I teach it?”**
• That change in thinking can transform the way you train.
• ## Practical Training You Can Use Every Day
• You don't need to spend hours training.
• The course shows you how to use **short, focused training sessions** and everyday opportunities to develop better behaviour.
• You'll learn how to recognise when your dog is succeeding, when an exercise has become too difficult and when it's time to take a break or change your approach.
• ## Who Is This Course For?
• This course is suitable for:
• * New puppy owners
• * First-time dog owners
