A dog learns not to door dash because his owner body blocks all attempts. This
is an example of
A. Positive reinforcement
B. Negative reinforcement
C. Positive punishment
D. Negative punishment
✓ C! You add the body block to reduce the door dashing. I can understand how you

member who thought it was cute to give treats when the dog "spoke," the
barking has returned in full force. What has happened?
A client is worried about her dog's behavior on leash, as he barks and lunges at
strangers. The result of his behavior is that none of her neighbors want to
approach. Her friend at work recommends a prong collar and tells her to just
"pop it" whenever he barks. However, after an initial notice to the prong collar
correction, the dog quickly returns to barking and lunging, and eventually does
so regardless of the collar corrections.
