Use Voice Reinforcement to Strengthen Good Behavior

Understand Positive and Negative Reinforcement

Your wolf's learning system responds to both praise and criticism through your microphone. Saying "good dog" reinforces actions you want repeated, while negative statements discourage unwanted behavior. Pairing voice feedback with physical rewards (food) creates stronger learning.

Apply Positive Reinforcement

1. When your wolf performs a desired action—attacking the right mob, sitting on command, or moving to a location—immediately say "good dog" into your microphone

2. Follow this with food to create a double reward

3. Repeat this pattern consistently during training sessions

4. Your wolf's internal brain will strengthen the connection between the action and the reward

Discourage Unwanted Behavior

If your wolf attacks the wrong target or ignores commands, speak negatively into the microphone. This doesn't harm your wolf but signals disapproval.

Maintain Consistency

Always use the same praise phrases and tone. Wolves learn patterns, so predictable positive feedback after correct actions builds reliable, repeatable behaviors faster than sporadic rewards.
