Anybody still reading? Does Feisty’s barking in the crate get punished by a spray of water? To continue: Most of us have heard the term “positive reinforcement” and have a notion of what it means.

Le système de ventilation du chien et la polypnée thermique Il est principalement constitué par le museau et les cavités nasales. Chez le chien, l'inspiration se fait essentiellement par le nez alors que l'expiration se fait par la bouche. Ce circuit permet d'utiliser au mieux l'évaporateur nasal au refroidissement des muqueuses. L'eau contenue dans l'air venant de cet échangeur et des poumons peut en effet se condenser sur les muqueuses buccales et surtout sur la langue qui pend à l'extérieur. L'évaporation de cette eau va servir au refroidissement de l'organisme du chien.. La salive a un rôle thermorégulateur. Les glandes salivaires du chien. Le nez est séparé en deux parties: Le cornet nasal supérieur est constitué par l'os ethmoïde. Dans les cavités nasales, de minces lames osseuses, fixées latéralement à la paroi, s'enroulent sur elles-mêmes et forment les cornets nasaux.

This is another “Back to Basics” understanding article when it comes to some of the terms we use in dog training and how to utilize the training concepts with your dog. A lot of people just simply don’t understand desensitization training and what it involves. As dog trainers we throw the concept out time and time again, and I am no different. I often find myself using this term often when answering questions on our blog.
But sometimes I forget not everyone knows what I am referring to when I use this term, so let me help you to break it down. When you hear that someone is sensitive to something, it means they are quick to detect or respond to slight changes, signals or influences, having acute mental or emotional sensitivity. Dogs with severe behavior problems (aggression, fear, separation anxiety) are often overly and abnormally sensitive to a stimulus (person, dog, noise). For example remember Pavlov and his dog? This is an abnormal fear. Classical Conditioning - An Introduction With Examples. Classical conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the school of thought in psychology known as behaviorism.
Discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. Behaviorism is based on the assumption that learning occurs through interactions with the environment. Two other assumptions of this theory are that the environment shapes behavior and that taking internal mental states such as thoughts, feelings, and emotions into consideration is useless in explaining behavior. It's important to note that classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. In order to understand how more about how classical conditioning works, it is important to be familiar with the basic principles of the process.

Page Title. Operant Conditioning – How to Modify a Dog’s Behavior. Operant conditioning does not mean reward training. Operant conditioning actually encapsulates both reward and aversive training. In its simplest form, operant conditioning says that to modify a dog’s behavior, we can either add or take away a reward stimulus (positive reinforcement, negative punishment); or we can add or take away an aversive stimulus (positive punishment, negative reinforcement). Operant Conditioning and Dog Training. Operant conditioning in itself is not pro-reward stimulus or aversive stimulus. However, it is interesting to note that B.F. Skinner, who developed many of the operant conditioning principles, has expressed that reward stimulus is the preferable form of control.
When someone says "operant conditioning" trainer, it actually refers to all dog trainers because every trainer uses some form of operant conditioning techniques to modify a dog's behavior. Included in the operant conditioning framework are studies on timing, frequency, and schedules of reinforcement. Dog Psychology – What Is Fact and What Is Myth. Free online veterinarian advice.

Guess what these dogs are looking forward to getting?
From the comments I’ve been hearing and the stuff I’ve been reading on the internet one would be inclined to think that the use of food in training poses great problems or risks. I cannot think of one conversation I’ve had with a trainer who laments that their clients reinforce behaviors with food too much. Indeed it’s usually the opposite. Having trouble with the duration of a down/stay? I’d put money on that it’s because the behavior is not being reinforced with food soon or often enough, or in the right place. I’m not suggesting that there are not other reinforcers that can be as effective as food or that we don’t need to be aware of how we use food in training, but do we really need to be out there warning pet owners about the dangers of using food to train their dogs?
If we are lucky someone along the way has provided a dog with a reason for feeling good about people. Can our relationships go beyond food?

Navy SEAL dogs to feature in 'Alpha' thriller. After the death of Osama bin Laden in May 2011, interest in the Navy SEALs and their elite weaponry and tactics spread far across the media landscape. Of all the stories to come out of that night, however, one of the more amazing was the inclusion in the SEAL team of a combat dog named Cairo.
Equipped with an array of high-tech tools - like super-strong, flexible body Armour and "doggles" featuring night-vision and infrared capability - Cairo became a symbol of the modern combat dog and its critical importance to the U.S. military. "Like their human counterparts, the dog SEALs are highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by Sea, Air and Land (thus the acronym)," states the official Navy SEAL website.

I smile and keep my focus on my writing but soon the cold nose begins insistently poking, flipping my arm upward with increasing urgency. And this is a moment of choice. Depending on how you look at it, this is either an easy choice or a difficult one.
