The punishment
It must respect certain rules. It is often only a one-off solution:
As soon as the dog has submitted it. The punishment stops.
She must be fair
We must apply it at the time and not delayed in relation to stupidity
She must not hurt the dog
It must be systematic for the same fault
We must apply it only at the beginning of education.
Extinction
We suppress harmful behavior by removing the cause. We re-educate a dog that destroys everything during your absence by removing the rituals of departure (take his keys …).
Habituation
The stimulus causing the undesirable behavior is caused but in a very short time so that the reaction of the animal becomes normal even in the presence of stimulation. The dog is afraid of noise. It is reproduced for a very short time to get used to it.
Desensitization
The stimulus reaches a very low dose and then increases, but it should never cause a reaction. If the dog reacts, the level of stimulus has come down. The dog is afraid of noise; itis reproduced with a very weak intensity at the beginning.
Counter-conditioning
Focus your attention.
“Bad behavior is always triggered by a situation that is associated with behavior that can not exist at the same time as the unwanted one”!
For example, the game, the meal, all the behaviors that will divert the animal from its trouble in the presence of the triggering situation. The passing car scares the puppy; we play with him at the precise moment of his passage.
The immersion
The animal is in the situation that triggers its abnormal behavior: an example of the hunter who fires with the dog who is afraid. This method requires the help of a professional. Another solution is to show good behavior.
The reward
Or the positive reinforcement. It consists of ignoring the unwanted behavior and caressing the dog or giving him a treat as soon as he acts well. The animal will associate your joy with the behavior and reproduce it.
The association
The dog is associated with another dog to model his behavior on him. This is the example of young hunting dogs who hunt with more experienced for the first time.
