You’ve probably heard that punishing your puppy will ruin your relationship with them. 

And yes it can - but only if used incorrectly. 

When used correctly though punishment is simply a quadrant in operant conditioning. And you don’t have to worry about it ruining your relationship with your puppy.

In today's episode Miriam explains exactly why that is. And she totally geeks on how the dog's brain works. 

If you follow Miriam on Instagram you'll know she's delaying the start of Puppy University for personal reasons.

But to make up for that she's offering a free bonus programme for anybody who signs up to Puppy University in the next 48 hours.

In this bonus episode Miriam explains what the Clarity Not Conflict programme offers.

You have two seconds to tell your puppy if you like or dislike what they're doing. 

Sounds tricky right?

But wait there’s more because even if you do tell your puppy in time, if you’ve not actually conditioned the meaning of your words, then you’ve not actually communicated with your puppy at all. 

And that means you could have the best and most expensive treats in the world but your puppy may never repeat the behaviour because it thinks you were rewarding something else entirely.

Luckily Miriam is here with this episode of Perfect Puppy Podcast to help you effectively reward your puppy.
