I found this article talking about 5 reasons dog training is increasingly shifting. I wanted to see if theses reasons were true or false.

I found the author of this article and read more about her. The article is written by Zazie Todd. Zazie has a Ph.D. in Psychology (University of Nottingham) and an MFA Creative Writing.  She created a blog about how to have happy cats and dogs, according to science. She also won the 2017 Captain Haggerty Award from the Dog Writer’s Association of America for her article, The Ultimate Dog Training Tip.

I also checked her social medias (twitter and facebook). There were no blue check marks beside her name but I read about her and she had her own blog and article about dog training and a Ph. D in Psychology.

This article about 5 reasons dog training is increasingly shifting is a true article.

I chose dog training for my assignment because I recently got a puppy, and its interesting how they act depending on the situation, and how you train them.

Dogs are great companions and protectors. They are loyal and can be trained to help you. Dogs can be trained to make a human’s life a bit easier, for example they can be service dogs, herding dogs, comfort dogs, and many more. It’s important for dogs to have a good relationship with their owners. A good way for dogs to communicate and interact with their owner is by training.  Dogs respond and communicate differently depending on their environment. Dogs that are used to different environments and situations are able to train better than dogs who aren’t because, they would be comfortable, whereas if the dog isn’t comfortable then he or she might feel unsafe and unable to respond to your commands as easily. There are many different types of training. It is most common to use positive reinforcement, which means whenever your dog does something correctly, you give them a reward, so they know next time that if they do something correctly, they get a treat. Dog training can be tough, but it is really fun after you see all the things your dog accomplished.
