I’m planning on getting a dog soon and would love some tips and tricks.

My tip is that when you take your dog for a walk, before crossing any street make them sit and wait for you to tell them to cross.

It helped when my dog got out a few times he would only walk around the block and never cross streets or run into traffic.

    According to behaviorism research, reward is a much faster path to training than punishment.

    Honestly though, just doing some basic reading on the concepts of classical and operant conditioning, as well as the concept called “shaping”, is excellent for training dogs and anything else.
