Horowitz’s persuasive argument inspires a new perspective on dogs and encourages her audience to appreciate them as valuable members of our families and communities. As a professor of psychology and director of the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College at Columbia University, Horowitz is an expert in dog cognition and behavior. This background provides her with the credibility necessary to convince her audience of the validity of her argument. Horowitz begins her talk by acknowledging the common belief that some breeds of dogs are inherently aggressive or dangerous.
Behavior therapy was studied by Ivan Pavlov and his famous dog study in which dogs were conditioned to salivate upon hearing a bell. 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). Watson’s assistant Mary Jones, used this principle to clinical applications reasoning that, “if conditioning could be used to induce a phobia, perhaps it could be used to undo a phobia as well” (Thoma, 2015). Thus, behavior therapy was developed and began being used for
Praise good behavior, but don’t penalize bad behavior and accidents. While you 're training, don’t worry if there are setbacks. As long as you continue a management program that includes taking puppy out at the first sign he needs to go and offering him rewards,
Everyone has habits - pattern of behavior that they repeat, sometimes without even being aware that they are repeating them. While most habits are harmless, they can be annoying to either the person preforming them or those closest to them. In this essay, Amy Sutherland attempts to break her husband of his bad habits by employing the same methods used to train animals. While writing a book about exotic animal trainers, Sutherland picked up many techniques to aid in her own training. “What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage” is a humorous piece that illustrates the fact that humans are just as susceptible to training as animals are.
James Serpell and Deborah Duffy of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine shows the negative long-term effects Puppy Mills have on the animals breed in these environments. The results showed a broad range of abnormal findings in the former breeding dogs, including: significantly elevated levels of fears and phobias, pronounced compulsive and repetitive behaviors such as spinning in tight circles and pacing, house soiling, and a heightened sensitivity to being touched and picked up. The most prominent difference was in the level of fear; compared to normal pet dogs, the chance of scoring in the highest ranges for fear was six to eight times higher in the recovered puppy mill dogs.

Although positive reinforcement training is time consuming it is rewarding, because it allows you to build a bond between you and your dog. Unlike shock collars, it allows dogs to have a positive outlook on the correction, whereas shock collars associate it negatively with pain. For instance,
If I had to title the story of my life, it would have to be 2The Chronicles of Hunter. It makes sense to me because of the way my life has been divided up. My life started as a tiny child, living in the suburbs of New York. The years when I had no real clue of the world, no real responsibilities, and would play all day. Those days are the hardest to remember, but 10 to 15 years is a mere blink of the eye to some people.

Dog parks in city limits would be a great idea, in my opinion. For many reasons, I do believe that having dog parks within the city limits would benefit all K9 owners who care about the mental and physical health of their dog(s). I being a dog owner myself, and knowing the behaviors and patterns of my fur babies. The article states that, "According to the ASPCA, dogs that don't get the proper excercise can act out by barking and destroying things at home...", being a victim to this myself I have witnessed my dogs act out in mischevious behavior because of the lack of attention and excercise. I noticed that their behaviors took a turn when I took them out more and let them interact with other dogs.
He steps forward to see a luminous light yearning for his attention causing curiosity to overflow through the bones of his body. The feel of the radiating spark is exhilarating, rapidly rushing adrenaline through his veins.

Paper 1: BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION Becky Templin Clovis Community College February 17, 2018 Introduction The theory behind behavior modification ethics has a reputation for its accomplishments and disappointments. In addition to this, there are many dangers in using physical punishment as behavior modification with the two primary modifiers of behavior being Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. The outcome of using negative reinforcement has its share of benefits and downfalls in human behavior whereas; positive reinforcement seems to win over.

For example, everyday Matt struggles with getting ready to go to school. Everytime she gets ready without any nagging from me, I give her a small reward such as candy. Inductive disciplines, part of the psychoanalytic theory, allows the child to understanding the effects of his or her misbehavior on others.
