dog training methods

Dog training methods generally fall into several categories: 1. **Positive Reinforcement**: Rewarding desired behaviors with treats, praise, or play, making it likely the dog will repeat them. 2. **Clicker Training**: Using a clicking sound to mark desired behaviors, followed by a reward to encourage learning. 3. **Leash Training**: Teaching dogs to walk politely on a leash, often using gentle corrections. 4. **Modeling or Lure-and-Reward**: Demonstrating behaviors or using a lure to guide the dog into the desired action. 5. **Negative Reinforcement**: Removing unpleasant stimuli when the dog performs the desired behavior, though this method is less commonly recommended today.
