The Dogenius Institute’s Post

As dog professionals, it's crucial to remember the profound impact our training methods have on canine welfare. DEFRA highlights that "an incorrect training regime can have negative effects on your dog’s welfare. Reward-based training, which includes the use of things that dogs like or want (e.g., toys, food, and praise), is enjoyable for your dog and is widely regarded as the preferred form of training dogs." To ensure you're using the most effective and humane techniques, consider enhancing your skills with a qualification from the Dogenius Institute. Let's prioritise dogs' happiness and well-being through informed, compassionate training practices. #DogTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment #DogWelfare
