  9. Training • Start while they’re young!! • “Voices” of training • Name attention • Basic commands

  10. How dogs learn • Classical conditioning – (emotions) Pavlov • In a sequence of events, the first event takes on the emotions of the 2nd event • Operant conditioning – (behaviors) Skinner • Rewards and punishments – dogs do what works!

  11. Classical conditioning • (emotions) Pavlov’s Dog • If one event directly follows another, the first event will take on the emotions of the 2nd event I get cheese, then my collar is grabbed = Cheese is scary! My collar is grabbed, then I get cheese = grabbing is good!

  12. Quiz – classical conditioning What emotional response is being formed? (assume you repeat many times) • Your pup is afraid of kids. You give her a piece of hot dog just before she sees kids • Every time your dog sees another dog, he lunges and hits the end of his leash • You give your dog her regular kibble just after she hears a loud thunder storm

  13. Operant conditioning Reinforce or punish behavior– dogs do what works! (give) positive (remove)negative reinforcement punishment

  14. Operant conditioning + Positive – presenting something to the dog - Negative – removing something from the dog Reinforcement –dog is more likely to repeat the behavior Punishment –dog is less likely to repeat the behavior

  15. Quiz – Operant conditioning Reinforcement or punishment? Positive (+) or negative (-)? • a. Fido licks. He gets petted. b. Buttons nips. Her human leaves. c. Bingo nips. His human hits Him. d. Lacey nips. Her human pinches her gums until she lets go.

  16. Modern dog training • Positive reinforcement – for behavior you like • Negative punishment – goes away for behavior you don’t like

  17. Rewards • Praise (remember your “praise voice”) • Toys • Treats • Water/kibble
