Positive reinforcement is one of the most popular training methods for dogs—and for good reason. It uses rewards like treats and praise to encourage desired behaviors. But what happens when your dog starts ignoring commands, becomes aggressive, or shows fear-based behaviors?
At Perfected Canine Obedience, we’ve seen firsthand that positive reinforcement isn’t always enough—especially in real-world situations.
When Positive Reinforcement Falls Short
- Aggression or Reactivity: A treat won’t always stop a dog lunging at another dog or reacting fearfully to strangers.
- Lack of Boundaries: Dogs need to know what behaviors are unacceptable—not just what earns them rewards.
- Overstimulation: In busy or stressful environments, food-based training can be ignored completely.
The Balanced Training Advantage
We use a balanced training method—a proven approach that combines positive reinforcement with clear communication and structure. This helps your dog:
- Understand boundaries
- Stay calm under pressure
- Listen and obey even in distractions
- Build confidence and trust
