I love making dog choices, Include when it is related. This is an example of “.Premac PrincipleThey say they act to reinforce actions that are likely to have fewer possible actions. It’s the most likely thing because that’s what a dog/cat/child/iguana wants to do, so it’s a perfect reinforcement, right? My version is a variant. The “most likely behavior” is often referred to as “problem behavior.” In other words, by giving your dog a choice, you use the problem to remove the problem.
If appropriate: This is Mr Wonderful, a door that I often use to go to barn pens that may or may not contain sheep. (There are various examples of enhancements.) Skip was eight months 8 years ago, eight months. A lot of leaps and whining, and if allowed, I rarely knock over me, lashing out the door, bouncing off the car, running to his target. Sheep sheep sheep.
Needless to say, it was a bit of a problem. So we have a high probability of behavior, and this is also a problem behavior that we need to turn around. This is simple. Skip is well aware of “back” so he asked three separate times to “back” while he was at the door. When he made it possible, I opened the door as much as I could. For the fourth time I stood at the door and looked at him. It took a while (skip is, skip) but I didn’t keep moving and eventually his brain settled down and kicked it, and he shrunk backwards. victory! I opened the door as quickly as possible and let him go. Currently, the most likely/problem behavior is the solution.
This is the video– Keep a close eye on the second 42. When I put my hand on the door latches, he knows it won’t open until I back it up. I quickly opened the door so once he could do what he did, and they were out to race. (Note: It was also added to the recall, but Bu would not have done it early in the training.)

I wrote another post in 2020 about this same issue, When Skip was translated by the cat three days after he arrived. What Skip wanted was to hypnotize stare at Nelly (most likely = most problematic = best reinforcement). I began to leave him to teach him, and strengthen it by going back to staring at Nelly (even if it was at home, I was looking out the window).
I’m writing about it again Because this concept – a problem equals a solution – is not fully utilized and well understood. Many people read the comments, so if you provide your own example, I love it. (Sorry, I can’t send videos in blog posts. I hope we can.) Use X as an enhancement to bring us back with the story of how we turned issue X into good behavior.
Meanwhile, return to the farm: snow! Finally snow! Here it was grey, brown, brown, brown, grey. (When talking to a friend, another word was inserted before the word “eternity.” I love the alliance.) Skip is especially excited. It’s not too cold for him. So, otherwise her previous frosted pads will start to hurt her. I was 19 this morning so everything was good and the dog got a great uproar.
But it looks like it’s going to be brutal soon, So Miss Margaret will go out to the bathroom and a bit more. Dig out booty gear, but it’s not worth it because it’s not going to last. This kind of weather particularly appreciates our blooming amaryllis. I fed them over the summer and left them in the cellar in the fall without buying any more.
This is: I’m worried that this photo will be labeled as not necessarily unsuitable for kids, but I love watching buds come out of the bulbs. You must love botany.
Warm (or cool), safe, dry, away from floods, fire, And send us your story of using the Premac principles about all kinds of individuals, four jockeys and us. Human subjects earn extra points! Skip and Maggie will send you their love.
