It was later continued to be studied by John Watson who has the famous “Little Albert” study in which an 11-month old infant was conditioned to be scared of fuzzy white things because a rat was paired with a loud noise. The conclusion of the two conditioning experiences was that, behaviors followed by satisfying experiences tend to increase in frequency and behaviors followed by aversive experiences tend to decrease in frequency” (Thoma, 2015).

    1659 Words  | 7 Pages

    Just positive dog training is very respected by people and almost all dogs are highly food motivated so taking an all positive approach is valuable and is great to start the dog with training experience so that they get the feel of what a person is wanting them to learn. The approach gets the attention of the dog which is great but there are so many distractions and it is very plausible that a high distractor comes by and because of this the dog falls back into the old routine because their attention had been taken away from the trainer. This is why negative dog training is more beneficial. When this happens a correction is very helpful to regain control of the situation. Without the correction depending on where you were doing the training, a store, outside, or around other dogs, you could have had to chase the dog with clicker or treat attempts which would likely be unsuccessful the first couple tries unlike the correction since the correction immediately puts the dogs attention back on the trainer.
