Behaviour modification

Behaviour modification is the use of the principles of learning to affect a change in an individual.

Conditioning

A process in which the dog learns to respond in a specific way when presented with a specific stimulus (food reward or favourite toy)

Counterconditioning

Here learning is used to replace an unacceptable behaviour with an acceptable one in response to the same stimulus.

Desensitization

This is a process that can be used for dogs that are fearful or nervous about something, by slowly introducing the dog without causing a reaction, this process could take several weeks. 

Habituation

A learning technique in which the reaction-provoking stimulus is repeated until it no longer elicits a response.

Certain behaviours

Can be extinguished by removing all reinforces.

Flooding

In this method, the dog is exposed to the stimuli continuously until there is a major improvement in its reactions.

These can all be used with certain issues:

Training

Training can be frustrating, but very rewarding, but this doesn’t always go to plan. Bearing every dog and breed are different, and that all dogs don’t think like us. They want and need a leader of the pack, which will be us!
