believes the main force influencing decision - making is
reinforcement learning.
PBRC supports the use of positive
reinforcement in dog training; we
believe that by rewarding correct behavior using treats, toys, and social attention, most dogs will
learn quite quickly what it is you want them to do!
Further, although social
reinforcement is a commonly used tool in dog training (Hiby et al., 2004), and many trainers
believe it to be effective, it is quite difficult to experimentally isolate social and food reward in a training paradigm to measure their relative contribution to
learning.

learn more about the proven benefits of using positive
reinforcement rather than dominance and punishment when training their dogs or choosing a trainer.
