How to teach your dog to ignore other dogs? Is it important?

It is important to teach your dog to ignore other dogs so that your dog can learn to focus on you. They will not get distracted by other dogs. It is essential if you ever need to take your dog to places where there will be a lot of other dogs, such as the dog park, or if you are going to be competing in dog sports. Thus, it is crucial to teach your dog to ignore other dogs by using positive reinforcement and consistent training. Monitor your dog's behavior and correct any unwanted behaviors. Finally, reward your dog when they ignore other dogs successfully.

LIMA dog training : the ideal method for behaviour modification?

Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive dog training LIMA training is a style of dog training designed by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) to be the least intrusive and minimally aversive as possible.

Purely positive dog training: is the preferred approach?

Purely positive dog training does not involve any punishment or corrections for undesired behaviors. Many prefer positive dog training, given it is the most humane and effective way to train dogs, as it relies on reinforcing desired behaviors instead of punishing undesired ones. Usually, pet owners use this type of training to teach basic obedience commands, tricks, and even complex behaviors.

However, some people believe that positive dog training is not effective in all situations, and that it can even be harmful to some dogs.

Balanced dog training

We have to show that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law of motion, and it applies to dog training just as it does to any other physical activity. If you tug on your dog's leash, he will pull back; if you push him away, he will move toward you; if you yell at him, he will bark back. The key to successful dog training is to find the right balance of actions and reactions so that your dog learns what you want him to learn without becoming frustrated or feeling threatened.
