Positive Training and Impulse Control
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xBe6BLg5zI
Would you like your dog not to scavenge all types of disgusting (and sometimes dangerous) things from the ground? Impulse control can be taught quickly and easily with positive reinforcement. There is no need to reprimand a dog, but rather you can teach your pup that good things happen when he makes the correct choice.
In this case, George is choosing to wait until he is given the food/treats. He knows that if he makes the decision to hold off and not try to scoff up the bits on the ground-or even the piece on his paw-that he can have them! By making a good choice he gets what he wants-in this case a very desirable bit of hot dog!
