Is praising a dog the magic wand of dog training?

Praising a dog is indeed beneficial because it reinforces positive behaviors, strengthens the bond between the dog and its owner, boosts the dog's confidence, and encourages desired actions, making training more effective.

However, many owners do not use enough praise throughout the day when their dogs are behaving well. Unfortunately, many people are quick to let their dogs know when they did something undesirable.
Inconsistent praise and primarily focusing on correcting undesirable behaviors can lead to confusion and stress for the dog. Consistent praise helps dogs understand what behaviors are desired, fostering a positive learning environment and strengthening the human-dog relationship.

Science shows us that dogs do default to the most reinforced behaviors that worked for them in the past.In short dogs are oppurtunist and repeat behaviors that work.

Are you using enough praise in your everyday interactions with your dog?
