Read your dog

Relationship-based training focuses on teaching you how to read your dog's body language and other ways your dog uses to communicate with you. It is proven to improve dog and owner relationship and communication. When we fully understand our dogs, it is much easier to have a better relationship. Since dogs are unique, the meaning of particular body language actions can vary from dog to dog. For instance, tail wagging does not always mean your dog is happy. We see tail wagging as more of an indication of a higher level of interest. A low tail wag might mean the dog is afraid. I high tail wag might mean an attack is coming. A random tail wag is probably an indication of happiness. We look at the entire dog to get an idea of how your dog is feeling. The play bow, where the front is down and the rear is up, seems to be a very reliable indication of invitation to play.

Get their attention

It's best to find out what gets your dog's attention and motivates your dog. Some dogs respond more to affection, while others will work for treats. We use these motivators to reinforce good behavior and to build good relationships with our dogs. We try to reinforce good behavior to replace unwanted behavior. Relationship-based training is very effective and helps you and your dog.

Ask permission

Once the relationship between you and your dog is reliable and solid, we can move on to permission-based training. Permission-based training means you say that it is OK for your dog to do something like, for example, you tell your dog it's OK to get up on a couch.
