What are you rewarding in your dog’s training?

Makesure you are not inadvertently encouraging your dogs reactionary behaviour.
If you are giving your dog ‘treats’ while your dog is being reactive in an attempt to distract or ‘create a positive association’ with the people or animals your dog is reacting to, you may in fact be rewarding and encouraging that reactionary behaviour. Instead only reward AFTER your has behaved in a more positive way and is relatively calm.
