During these classes you will learn why your dogs react the way they do towards other dogs and how to teach them alternate, more desirable
behaviors, using
only reward based,
positive reinforcement techniques.
The parenting
behaviors are assigned to nine subscales (with item examples in brackets):
positive parental
behavior («I make time to listen to my child, when he / she wants to tell me something»), autonomy («I teach my child that he / she is responsible for his / her own
behavior»), rules («I teach my child to obey rules»), monitoring («I keep track of the friends my child is seeing»), discipline («When my child has done something wrong, I punish him / her by taking away something nice [for instance, the child can't watch TV,...]»), harsh punishment («I slap my child when he / she has done something wrong»), ignoring unwanted
behavior («When my child does something that is not allowed, I
only talk to him / her again when he / she behaves better»), inconsistent discipline («When I have punished my child, it happens that I let my child out of the punishment early»), and material
rewarding («I give my child money or a small present when he / she has done something that I am happy about»).
