Sometimes just ignoring bad behaviors can be dangerous!! You have to let your dog know he did something wrong especially if it's self rewarding.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-50469812611304271902009-12-10T22:56:22.608-06:002009-12-10T22:56:22.608-06:00Operant conditioning means the subject operates in...Operant conditioning means the subject operates in all 4 quadrants (including P+);) The trainers who disagree don't know what operant conditioning really is. The quadrants are virtually always paired, though many users don't recognize this. <br /><br />I use positive reinforcement as a training tool. And the majority of punishment I do is P-. But P+ has its place. Extremists (ie "all positive" trainers and the "oh-my-god-feeding-dogs-treats-is-evil" trainers) of any variety reduce their credibility by the nature of their extremism. <br /><br />Just my not-so-humble opinion.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-81860135784052232122009-12-10T16:22:05.281-06:002009-12-10T16:22:05.281-06:00When I work with my dogs I think about the worst b...When I work with my dogs I think about the worst boss I ever had in my life. She was all grins & giggles, blowing smoke up my ass every evaluation telling me what a good 'team member' I was. (I wasn't, I sucked). Not once did she tell me I needed to improve or work on something. No challenges..nothing. I hated her. She was the queen of non communication and she was the reason why I did not try at my job. <br /><br />Many times I feel like positive training is like this. Drives me batty...<br /><br />-CarolynnBCxFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913197081466508005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-10251750782187640482009-12-10T09:26:31.904-06:002009-12-10T09:26:31.904-06:00LOL Diana,

Lock your husband and your dog in the trunk of your car for one hour. When you open it back up, see who is happier to see you.
