Happy Monday! Trainer Karleigh wanted to share some proper exposure and socialization training with you today that she does with her reactive dog, Millie. Karleigh writes, “The most important part of exposure training is keeping the experiences positive and rewarding often. Let’s not forget that dogs learn through classical and operant conditioning. But what does that even mean? Classical conditioning (aka respondent conditioning) is the processes where learning occurs through repeated stimulus pairing. It’s essentially learning through associations (reinforcement and punishment) Operant conditioning (conscious conditioning if you will) are behaviours that are learned through consequences (punishment and reinforment). Now that we understand those definitions we can see the importance of them. Classical conditioning is always happening. When doing exposure we need to be aware of the associations made during that session (and always). That is why I’m always opting for rewarding with some yummy treats (positive association)."
