A fundamental concept in dog training is the "conditioned response" principle, which allows your dog to learn by its own actions rather than direct instruction. Here, we'll explore how this approach can address two common problematic behaviors.Stopping Your Dog from Digging
If your dog is digging up your yard, the conditioned response principle can help eliminate this behavior. Begin by purchasing chicken wire from a hardware store and styptic powder from a pet store. First, identify your dog's preferred digging spots. Next, while your dog is indoors and unable to watch, bury a 4x4 foot section of chicken wire under the dirt at each of these locations.Once your setup is complete, let your dog back outside. When it attempts to dig, it will encounter discomfort from the wire, linking the act of digging with an unpleasant sensation. Over time, this association will discourage the behavior.
However, if your dog is an aggressive digger, monitor for any injuries. Use styptic powder to quickly treat any cuts, helping to avoid further issues. Within days, your dog will likely reduce or stop digging, thanks to this new association.
Preventing Destructive Chewing
For dogs that chew furniture, shoes, and other items, the solution involves using bitter apple spray from a pet store. While your dog is out of sight, spray your valuables with this substance. Place these items where your dog usually accesses them.When your dog goes to chew its favorite objects, it will encounter the unpleasant taste of the bitter apple. This will create a negative association with chewing these items.
It's crucial to provide your dog with an appropriate outlet for its chewing instinct. Repeat the process by placing your dog's favorite chew toys near the sprayed items. This encourages your dog to shift its focus to acceptable chewing targets, reinforcing positive behavior.
By effectively applying the conditioned response principle, you can guide your dog toward desirable actions without the stress of traditional training.
