CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This is positive punishment. You could call your dog to come and shock them continuously with their e-collar until they turn and come back to you. Next time you call your dog, they will respond to the cue faster to make the pain of the shock stop sooner or avoid it altogether. This is negative reinforcement in action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electronic collars are based on the use of pain stimuli to stop undesired behaviour (positive correction) and/or to teach dogs to exhibit the desired behaviour by making them avoid painful stimuli (negative reinforcement).

Detailed explanation-3: -Can an e-collar be used for positive reinforcement training? It is possible but only under these conditions: the dog is conditioned to have a positive emotional response to the collar (including the sight of the collar and the wearing of the collar even if it’s not activated)

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive punishment techniques are known to be associated with increased aggression from dogs6, 12. Although correctly applied negative reinforcement can effectively change an animal’s behaviour, increased stress can result from the use of negative reinforcement training.

Detailed explanation-5: -One example of negative reinforcement is when the dog’s bottom is pushed to force the dog into a sit, and then released once the dog is in a sit. Assuming the behaviour of sitting goes up in frequency, the behaviour was negatively reinforced by the removal of the pressure on the dog’s rear end.
