    Study Notes

    Positive Reinforcement

    • Enhances behavior by adding a desirable consequence that increases its frequency.

    Behavior

    • Observable actions of a dog, including sitting, lying down, walking, or barking.

    Lure

    • A technique using prompts to guide dogs into specific behaviors, engaging their nose and body.

    Cue

    • Signals indicating a forthcoming reward for behavior; can be visual, contextual, or verbal.

    Stimulus

    • Any event perceivable by a dog, such as light, noise, smell, or touch.

    Reinforcer

    • Any preferred reward that a dog enjoys, which reinforces positive behavior.

    Conditioned Reinforcer

    • A stimulus, such as the word "yes," that a dog associates with a reinforcer after a learning process.

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    • Can be continuous (rewarding every desired behavior) or intermittent (rewarding after the behavior is learned).

    Capturing

    • Involves rewarding a dog for performing a desired behavior without prompts.

    Shaping

    • Teaching complex behaviors by rewarding incremental progress towards the final goal behavior.

    Cue Consistency

    • A dog's ability to respond to cues effectively across different situations and environments.

    Negative Punishment

    • Involves removing something liked by the dog as a consequence of unwanted behavior.

    Positive Punishment

    • Adding an unpleasant consequence following an unwanted behavior performed by the dog.

    Negative Reinforcement

    • The removal of an unpleasant stimulus when the dog exhibits a new, desired behavior.

    Extinction

    • Eliminates a previously reinforced behavior by removing the associated reward.

    Classical Conditioning

    • Development of an unconscious association between two stimuli in a dog's behavior.

    Operant Conditioning

    • The association formed by the dog between an action (behavior) and the resulting consequence.

    Primary Reinforcer

    • Naturally preferred rewards, such as food or praise, used to reinforce desired behavior.

    Desensitization

    • Gradual increase of stimulus exposure to reduce the dog's undesirable responses over time.

    Name Game

    • A training exercise where the puppy's name is used positively to gain attention and reward focus.
