The Difference Between Obedience Training and Behavior Modification
Many people get confused when it comes to defining dog training. This episode should clear that up for you. Here is what we will cover today:
- Obedience Training, also known as dog training, involves teaching basic commands such as sit, down, and stay.
- Obedience training is what most people refer to when discussing dog training.
- Although dog training is used by almost everyone across a broad spectrum, including veterinarians and doggie daycare, “Your dog needs training”…when in fact they need Behavior Modification
- Behavior Modification (BeMod) is a systematic approach to change unwanted severe behaviors such as fear, anxiety, stress, or aggression.
- BeMod is not ideal for young puppies.
- BeMod works best when there is a solid foundation of basic obedience.
- BeMod is very intense and requires a considerable amount of time. The outcome is unpredictable. There are no guarantees.
