How To Effectively Reward Your Puppy
You have two seconds to tell your puppy if you like or dislike what they're doing. Sounds tricky right?But wait there’s more because even if you do tell your puppy in time, if you’ve not actually conditioned the meaning of your words, then you’ve not actually communicated with your puppy at all. And that means you could have the best and most expensive treats in the world but your puppy may never repeat the behaviour because it thinks you were rewarding something else entirely.Luckily Miriam is here with this episode of Perfect Puppy Podcast to help you effectively reward your puppy.Want to find out more about the Clarity Not Conflict Programme and Puppy University?
