I believe that reward-based training methods such as clicker training, positive reinforcement, and negative reinforcement are the most effective ways to work with rescued animals. Using these techniques encourages appropriate behavior from the animal by focusing on rewarding desirable behavior and using gentle discipline when necessary. This allows the animal to make connections with humans and slowly start trusting them while gaining more confidence in its new environment. Furthermore, establishing a consistent routine through habits and routines is extremely important for rescued animals who may have gone through traumatic experiences; providing structure can help reduce anxiety.
