Operant Conditioning for Nazis


This is operant conditioning for Nazis.  It's not click and treat. It's more like an immediate punch to the face.

As with all training, the trick is consistency and timing.

This is truly excellent timing.

  1. Pretty poor timing on all levels I would say - in the short term he gets the correction when his arm is down instead of when it's up, and in the long term how should have been properly socialized when he was a pup.

  2. We would have to see the video to know if he was socked up or down -- these are stills. One thing that is true: perfect timing is WAAAAAY over-rated. This dog will remember this day and how it happened. Ditto, if a girl flashed him for the same. One of the things I've learned from another trainer is to give the signal a full one-Mississippi later than you would think. Try it.

    As for socialization, sure, but we're clearly in the dog rehab business here. This is not puppy training, but red-zone pit bull operating out of fear and confusion training. A good bob on the noggin is perfect. Gets their attention!
