Positive Reinforcement and Safe Tone

Positive reinforcement is crucial to SkyShepherd’s training method: it speeds and solidifies your dog’s learning.

SkyShepherd uses a pleasant two-note Safe Tone to reinforce good behavior. After initial conditioning, your dog will associate safe tone with safety, relief, and relaxation. Safe Tone sounds throughout the time that your dog is in Safe Zone and when your dog returns to Safe Zone. This naturally reinforces the behaviors of staying inside and returning to safe zone.

Eventually, your dog will naturally gravitate toward Safe Zone because of its positive associations with Safe Tone.
