Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

The Dunbar Dog Training Principles teach dog owners how to train their dogs effectively and have fun in the process. The system focuses on engaging dogs mentally to develop their intelligence, which helps many problem behaviors “melt away.” It addresses the underlying causes of behavioral issues rather than providing short-term solutions. The program avoids outdated force and dominance techniques, instead using methods like Differential Classical Conditioning, the Jolly Routine, and Secondary Reinforcers to resolve problems. It also emphasizes using the owner’s voice as a powerful training tool. The Dunbar Academy offers various courses suitable for all experience levels, from pet owners to professional trainers, aiming to quickly eliminate almost any dog behavioral problem.
