Tyler Muto on Can You Reinforce Fear?
Add to Favorites
In this clip, Tyler talks about the psychology of rewarding your dog's fear. Many people worry that if they reward their dog while they are feeling anxious or insecure that we are rewarding those feelings, but the reality is when giving your dog a reward you are marking a behavior, not a mindset. You can, however, validate your dog's fear and in that case, Tyler explains how it happens and how you can avoid it.
