I see it differently. A treat is a payment for a job well done, just like a salary.

That's why I keep my training sessions under 15 minutes, with play breaks in between.

It is about changing how you communicate with your dog. I focus on three pillars: Patience, Perseverance, and Consistency. If you lose your cool, your dog stops learning. We use positive reinforcement—treats are a salary for a job well done, not a bribe. Whether we are working on basic obedience at my Noida farm or tackling reactivity, my goal is to make you the kind of teacher your dog actually wants to learn from. ### Why I Focus on Three Pillars I tell every parent, if you lack even one of these, training will fail: - **Patience:** Dogs are not computers. They will test you. If you lose your composure, you become a bad teacher. - **Perseverance:** Dogs can be stubborn. You have to be more determined than they are to see results. - **Consistency:** There are no holidays for your dog. Habits are formed by repetition, and you must practice what you teach multiple times a day, every day. ### The 'Salary' Approach Many clients ask if treats are bribery. I tell them to think of it like a salary. When your dog listens, the treat is payment for a job well done. It is a reward system that motivates them to choose the right behavior. It is not about spoiling them; it is about reinforcing clear communication. ### Why Short Sessions Work Would you study for two hours straight? Neither would your dog. I structure my sessions to be under 15 minutes. This prevents frustration and keeps the dog eager to learn. My goal at The Canine Coach farm is to ensure the dog leaves wanting more, rather than begging for the session to end. ### How We Communicate Names have power. I teach owners that their dog's name should be a positive word, never used when scolding. If you use a name to call them for a treat, use it for that. When you need to correct behavior, use a different cue or word. This clarity stops the confusion and helps your dog trust you instantly. ## About The Canine Coach I’m Dikshit, and I’m here to help you stop the guesswork.
