The DOG-e-walk
If we take a look at the classic
principles of dog training—behavior,
motivation and discipline—it’s clear
that the most successful teaching
methods use a combination of positive
reinforcement and gentle correction to
deter unwanted behavior.
Research shows that self-motivation
in dogs is always stronger than
external motivation. For this reason,
we have to use the dog’s own
motivation and praise promptly for
good behavior. The principle of the
DOG-e-walk is based on a simple
award—the dog can continue walking
on a loose leash.
It’s a matter of associative learning. A
signal is released as soon as your dog
starts pulling on the leash. The more
your dog pulls, the louder the signal
gets. The less your dog pulls, the
quieter the signal gets. After your dog
associates pulling the leash with the
sound signal, it won’t take long for a
change in behavior to occur.
As you can see, the basis here is the
combination of the sound signal and
the pulling, which is easy for the dog
to understand. Your dog notices this:
I can’t go on a peaceful walk anymore
because I hear an irritating loud
noise. I won’t be able to reach my
destination peacefully. After just a few
days of training, it will be possible to
go on a relaxed walk with your dog.
