YouTube, this is my dog training tip , of the day for today it's regarding , counter conditioning, or changing your , dog's, emotional response to, a certain , stimuli or, trigger a lot of people, who , are using counter, conditioning are , finding that, they're getting no results , and, when you're getting, no results you , can tell yourself that, you're not doing , it, correctly some, of the reasons why , when, using classical or counter , conditioning you're, not getting any , result sis one the main reason number , one is that the, dog is not finding, the , triggers, predictor of the reinforcement , so, if your dog is, not finding the , triggers, predictor of the reinforcement , you're, wasting your time and you're, just , basically, reinforcing your, dog, for , nothing , you really want to make sure, that, the , trigger is the predictor, of the treat , here's an example of, someone, who is me , screwing up big-time , my border collie splash used to be very , reactive, to, human being sand, dogs after , being attacked, as a puppy and, she made , great, progress in all, environments , except, when we were walking in, the , canyon which is there's brush, those , bushes this high so, she can't, see over , them and a long path and as we'd be , walking, along another human being would , be walking up the path, and, I would see , the human being get, my treats ready and , as she saw the human being, would feed , her and I wondered why she was, not , getting better in this, environment, until , I, finally, realized that even, though I , got the, treat out way before she saw the , person she, stole saw the predictor that , the, food was coming was, me getting, the , treat out of, the bag and, she was waiting , til, I gave her the treat so, the person , walking up, the path was, not predicting , my reinforcement that, was giving her , even if, I clicked her for looking and , feeding her that first signal that the , treat was, going to come to, her , the predictor of the food was when, I got , the food out, of, my bait bag so to solve , this problem, I, simply kept food in my , hand on, walks in the canyon and, then , when the person appeared, would feed , her for looking, at the person and , suddenly, there was, huge change in the , training, she started to get more , comfortable with people, passing, in the , where before there was absolutely no , change no matter, how much training I did , and, I basically wasted like eight, months , of, doing, absolutely no, classical or , country, conditioning, because, was , basically, training her, to like, treats , everybody can, screw up so, the sign that , you're screwing up is, when you're seeing , no change whatsoever, huge clue that , you're not using counter, conditioning is , if you're talking about, your dog being , focused on the food or, distracted by the , food if, you're if you're, working with , your dog I'm, trying to, change their , emotional response to, something in, the , environment and, your dog is busy staring , at you and being, over aroused about the , treats that, you're holding you're, not , going to, do any classical conditioning , or counter conditioning your, dog is , going to be, only if, you're feeding your , dog, at that point in time you're , actually, building your dog's, arousal, on , treats and not creating, a, relationship , between, the trigger and the , reinforcement, so, what you need to, do , instead is, backtrack and, start with , games of, teaching your dog to stop , focusing, on the, food to do this you , simply, sit on the couch and wait for , your dog to stop, thinking about, the food , while you're holding some food in your , hand and here you can, see splash, he's , thinking about the food she's going , she'smelling, the food even, if, she's , not, looking at me, because she knows the , game of, ignoring, the, food during , training she's still thinking about, the , food so, that moment, that, she's not , thinking about the food, I'm, going to , reinforce her and you'll see that in a , second because'm going to, wait quite a , long time for, her to be, absolutely not , thinking about the food when, I, reinforce , her once you, start playing, games like , this, you, play, the game where the dogs , settling, and not thinking about the food , trying different rooms, of the, house then , try on a walk if, your dogs, trotting next , to you and they're, looking up, at you , they're thinking about, the food , so the moment your, dog is distracted by , maybe a blowing leaf , that's the moment, you're going to, pop a , treat in your, dog's mouth okay, so , finally splashes stop thinking about the , food right now so, I'm going to, take one , of metre eight , tee's, and present Otto, her face and, I , will capture, the behavior, of not , thinking, about the, food , another problem is, if you're, using , counter, conditioning perhaps, you have a , dog that scared humans and, you you're , clicking too, much the dog is looking at , the person click treat, click treat click , treat if you're clicking, too, much the , dog gets try, seeing the click is the , predictor of the, food and not a certain , thing in the environment , an example is, Pavlov'Snell if the dogs , if, the dog is, hearing the bell ring , they're, associating the food with the , Bell and, not perhaps something that, was , in the, corner maybe, a jug that the , Pavlov owned or, a certain thing inside , of, the, room , the Bell, is really, being reinforced with , the, treat, and that, can happen if you're , clicking too, much another way to make , sure, that, you're pairing the trigger , with, the reinforcement that you're , giving is Tonto, click but as the dog , looks at the object or the person, or, the , other dog you feed them directly to , their mouth, as, their eyes are focused on , the other dog if, you lose your, out, if , you if you're moving and, you lose the , opportunity to, feed the dog, because the , dog looks back at you, don't feed the, dog , because, then you're just, feeding the, dog , for focus on the, food again, so they see , the person you feed if they turn back, to , you you can walk backwards encourage , them back and then try, again from a , different, distance another, problem, you , could, have is if you'reusing, the wrong , reinforcement if, you have something , that's not, reinforcing, to your dog you , can't create a different emotional , response in your, dog for example, if , you're trying to, train your dog to love , humans and you're feeding the dog kibble , for seeing a human, if, the dog has no , reinforcement value in kibble you're not , going to, get a reinforcement value in a , human being you, want to, use the best , treats that, you'vie ever used if, you're , trying to, change, your dog's behavior , regarding fears aggression, or reactivity , another problem with counter , conditioning, that you, may be having is , that you, can't find an area, that is not , too, close to, the stimulus where your dog , will react and, a great thing to, do is to , get in your car drive, somewhere where , your dog is successful, and, begin there , before walking in, your name , hood or in the environment that your, dog , is, having problems, with see you next , time YouTube , as you can see splash, is not thinking , about, theatre S's anymore, so, I can , reinforce her, for not thinking about, the , food tips work, on training your, dog, to , not, be all about the, food first before, a , counter conditioning, no or little , behavior modification will occur if your , dog is, focused on the food or distracted , by it apart from building your dog's , food, drive , if your dog regresses or has a setback , for example suddenly barks and lunges at , something the best thing you can do is , to take, break from training, and resist , the, urge to suddenly address the issue , this, is, because stress hormones can stay , in your dog's, bod yup, to 7 days, after a , startle and can hinder your progress , make sure the stimuli is the predictor , of the food and not something else you , are doing or that is, in the environment , make sure your reinforcement is of the , highest, value make, it as easy as, your , dog needs counter conditioning, will not , work if your dog is too, stressed or over , aroused lower, criteria if you are not , succeeding the goal is to avoid , undesirable behavior and instead , reinforce the, absence of it stay tuned , for more tips .
