#143: Can You Reinforce Fear?
Drinking From the Toilet: Real dogs, Real training - Un podcast de Hannah Branigan
Catégories:
In this episode, we discuss can you reinforce fear?, have you heard that you shouldn't console your frightened dog, that might "reinforce" the fear? (That's kind of unempathetic, isn't it?), and the more progressive message to dog owners is that you can't reinforce fear, because fear is an emotion. But, for the true behavior nerds though, it might be fun to go a little deeper?, what is fear?, what is reinforcement?, the importance of looking at the function of behavior, what fear tells us about contingencies, what can we do about it?, and how I handle my personal dog's fear during thunderstorms.
