Example of grooming as a reinforcer - Dog Training by Kikopup
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 27 Jul 2018
This is an example of how through training, you can change your dogs emotional response to something. By conditioning the blow drier with something the dog really likes in small successful steps, you can see he now just likes the blow dryer experience so much he would come running when he hears it turned on. A lot of trainers say, don't use your recall if you are going to groom your dog, because it will ruin your recall. But I say if your dog LOVES grooming, then do! Everything is subjective. A lot of people think petting is a reinforcer for dogs, and will pet them after they sit for example. Some dogs do indeed like petting, but a lot of dogs without prior training, find petting aversive or at the very least, not worth working for.
