TinkerTags is here to assist you with dog ownership. Whether it be careful breed selection, training, mindful correction of undesirable learned behaviour, or introducing you to the top tools and toys that foster a deep dog-human bond.
Most recently we (trainers and dog owners in my circle of friends) have been reading and practicing the work of Dr. Dunbar, a veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and dog trainer. Dr. Dunbar's dog training methods focus on rewarding positive behavior with affirmation and treats, rather than trying to correct negative behaviors through forced submission. And guess what? With patience and a growing bond between you and your dog, it works like gangbusters!
No longer do we need to smack or yell at, or use choke, pinch, prong or shock collars to control our four-legged best friends!
No more scolding and shaming the animal that would gladly give his life to save yours!
Patience. Clear communication. Treats. Play. Praise. These are more effective as training tools and far more peaceful to the canine brain.
