Pavlov taught us that we can take a stimulus and it's hardwired response, introduce a neutral stimulus and associate that same response to that new stimulus.
Why is this such valuable information? We can then take that neutral stimulus and hardwired response and associate it with yet another stimulus.
We can take a negative hardwired response or behavior and turn it into a positive one, and vice versa.
Genes that pass from parent to pup can be turned on or off with conditioning, counterconditioning and desensitization.
A particular trait becomes highly desirable with healthy, age appropriate and reinforced environmental input.
Puppies up to 12 weeks have chemicals that remove mistakes and retain positive feedback. This period is especially influenced by operant training, socialization and conditioning. Healthy stress responses later in life are associated with dessensitization beginning at birth, promoting healthy vascular, endocrine and neurological systems.
There is no such thing as a negative or positive trait. Traits simply trigger a response, dependent on default instincts or conditioned responses that can benefit the health and wellbeing of a dog for the rest of their lives.

Going to the drive through, getting ready to place our order!
One key part of socialization is keeping a calm and quiet space to introduce novel or unusual things. For instance, feeling the ground move beneath a dog's feet means one thing: earthquake! Here we can see how these adorable puppies recover quickly from something that would be otherwise frightening. After they recover, they are thinking about what they want to order at the window 😅
This is a video of our car ride. I'm pretty sure they are going to love roadtrips!
