  2. Karen Pryor • Behavioral Scientist • Proponent of Positive Reinforcement • Not against correction • Trained Marine Mammals

  3. Method #1“Shoot the animal.” • Actually, it’s the most common method for dealing with dogs killing livestock • Always works

  4. Method #1“Shoot the animal.” Remove the animal from the situation. Example: House breaking

  5. Method #2Punishment Humanity’s favorite – There is plenty of reasons that it doesn’t work well. • When it can’t connect to behavior. • When the subject doesn’t know the right way. Bolting, avoidance, loss of confidence, panic, lack of style, fear, etc. Good Example: Mousetraps on a couch

  6. Method #3Negative Reinforcement • (+) It gets results • (-) People tend to go to this too early or too often, it can become a punishment. Good example: bank-running • Dog knows • Tried attrition/call back/simplifiction • Make the bank hot (direct or indiredct)

  7. Method #4Extinction (not the species) • Extinguish the behavior by not showing any results. • No retrieve for bad line manners • No attention for dropping the bird when learning to hold It isn’t going to work for well learned behaviors, i.e. a dog barking all night or a chronic creeper.

  8. Method #5Train an Incompatible Behavior A dog taught to lay in a spot in the living room when someone knocks at the door can’t maul company. A dog laying in a holding blind will find it hard to bark, bounce , or creep around the edge. A dog trained to sit–to-shot/flush may find it harder to leave the line early.

  9. Method #6Put the Behavior on Cue • Take control of the behavior • Add the cue and reinforce (“tends to diminish the unwanted behavior”) • Barking dog may be good example Remember: • The behavior occurs immediately • The behavior never occurs in the absence of the stimulus (command) • The behavior never occurs in response to some other • No other behavior occurs in response to the stimulus

  10. Method #7Reward the Absence of Behavior • Often forgotten because the absence of behavior doesn’t get your attention • Reward the dog when it is quiet in the kennel • I never miss the mistake and can always find the opportunity to use negative reinforcement Example: Mom/Dad finally gets a call from kid out of the house… What do you say?

  11. Method #8 Change the Motivation • Evaluate the situation • What reward are they getting from the behavior? • Is the barking dog lonely or bored – train him harder and the night in the kennel may be better used. • Send the bugging dog and correct. Don’t fiddle at the line or he’s training you.

  12. 8 Methods • Shoot the Dog • Punishment • Negative Reinforcement • Extinction • Train an incompatible behavior • Put the behavior on cue • Shape the absence of the behavior • Change the motivation
