I have a perfect example of Positive Reinforcement and Positive Punishment.
The Positive reinforcement did not work in this instance, Buddy was mouthing my slippers (while on my feet
) and the first thing I tried was to redirect him and then treat him...well you can figure out what happened with this...he continued to want my slippers 'cause he was going to get a treat for it.
The Positive Punishment was to send him to his bed
, of course he did not want to be moved away from me and now if he grabs my slippers or my hands I calmly ask him to go to bed, he very rarely grabs either anymore. Hope this makes sense....patti
