AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement can include food treats, praise, petting, or a favorite toy or game. Since most dogs are highly food-motivated, food treats work especially well for training. A treat should be enticing and irresistible to your pet. Experiment a bit to see which treats work best.

Detailed explanation-2: -When negative reinforcement learning has been achieved, the animal performs the desired behaviour when the unpleasant experience is predicted so as to prevent the experience from occurring. Positive reinforcement occurs when an animal receives something it desires for doing a behavior1.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a positive punishment training program, the dog’s undesirable behaviors are punished by adding an aversive. Some of these include sudden loud noises (e.g. cans with coins and air horns), a spray bottle, a chin “cuff” (a smack), a muzzle hold, and pinning the dog to the floor.
