There are two types of basic conditioning in behavior. Today, we are going to talk about the Operant Style. The idea of reinforcing or punishing behavior. Let's break it down to simplify it. Without this knowledge, you will always get stuck in trying to change behavior.
Every behavior has a preceding trigger and a consequence that either increases or decreases the chance of that behavior happening again. If the consequence is reinforcing to the dog, it will likely happen again. If the dog doesn't like the consequence or something they were enjoying is removed, the behavior will be less likely to happen in the future.
