As living beings, we always have a reason for our behavior. Our behavior either helps us gain more of what we value or helps give us distance from what is negative to us. When it comes to behavior management, you can either motivate an animal with a behavior consequence that adds enrichment or with a behavior consequence that is punishing.
Which motivation do you think will create a love for learning in your pet?
I’m sharing this story of a family’s hope with dog aggression, as I am so extremely proud of the progress we are making, and to educate and offer hope to other families. In complex dog behavior cases like this, it is important to look at the impact of many variables – genetics, physiology, environment, learning history among them.
As people, we can have a tendency to refer to our pets as either GOOD or BAD, but the truth is,
our pets really don’t see things the same. GOOD or BAD are really just examples of labeling your dog or parrot (or other type of pet). Let’s explore this topic further.
