To care also ( write let given it is important dated giving attention, or perhaps even a treat to try and stop the behavior, it is essential that these behaviors be met with inattention. Reprimands and punishment are also often unsuccessful Some pets actually consider punishment itself as a form of attention. On the other hand, punishment that is too harsh lead to anxiety, fear of the owner and problems such as aggression or submissive urination. Disruption devices such as a shake can air horn, or ultrasonic device interrupt the undesirable behavior without causing fear of the owner. However, if praise for ceasing the behavior and redirection toward a new and acceptable behavior does not occur, the dog is unlikely to change all that much. Retraining should begin with good control over your dog and a good understanding of the proper use, timing, and selection of rewards. obedience training class that uses rewards and non-disciplinary techniques for control, such as head halters is a good start. The goal is to get the desired response, reward the desired response, and gradually shape longer and more successful responses. The dog should be well exercised and as calm and focused as possible when training first begins. Ensure that you are environment where there are minimal distractions and that you have enough control that a successful response to the command can be guaranteed. Most traditional training techniques and devices use punishment to interrupt and deter misbehavior. Punishment teach a dog what not to do but it does not teach the dog to perform the desired response. of the devices that have been designed to control and train dogs are attached around the dog's neck to choke or correct. Not only can they create discomfort for the dog, they require extremely good timing to teach the dog the proper behavior. Head halters might prove to be a more positive and effective means of achieving the desirable response. Clicker training can also be used as a means of immediately marking and reinforcing behavior The head halter has been designed to gain control over the dog's head and muzzle that the handler is able to train the dog to perform the desired response. The goal of training is to encourage and reward correct responses rather than punish incorrect responses. The head halter increases control a number of ways. Because dogs have a natural instinct to pull against pressure, a forward and upward pull on the leash close the mouth and the dog pull backwards and down into a sit. Therefore, whenever the sit command is given and the dog does not immediately respond, the owner can pull the leash up and forward, look the dog the eyes, and get the desired response. As as the dog is sitting or even begins to sit, the restraint is released and the dog praised. The command, pull, and release should be immediately repeated if the problem behavior is repeated, and positive reinforcement should be provided if the dog continues to behave. Using a leash and head halter, upward and forward pull can be used to immediately and effectively control barking, jumping up, play biting, stealing objects, or pulling and lunging. The head halter also creates a situation where the head follows, the body goes. Because the halter controls the head behaviors can be prevented or interrupted merely by changing the direction of the dog. A indoor lead can be left attached for control from a distance. Lastly, and equally important, the head halter does not encircle and tighten around the lower neck, that the dog is not choking while the owner is trying to train. Some brands of head halters are designed that they can be left on the dog, just like neck collars, all the time when owners are home. A indoor lead can be left attached for control from a distance. As as the dog begins to engage unacceptable behavior, it can be interrupted and directed into performing the desirable behavior By the same token, if you
