Is Withholding Rewards Aversive?

If your dog finds it aversive when you withhold reinforcement in training as a natural part of the learning process, re-evaluate your training. The game of training itself, the puzzle, should keep the dog well vested, regardless of whether or not each moment in time is successful. It should not feel aversive to the dog whether a reward comes or otherwise.   Follow my training! The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy
