How to reinforce good behavior in my heeler?
Q. My heeler is very smart, but very rambunctious. I just spent the last half hour trying to reinforce good behavior and ignoring bad behavior but she just gets so excited. She can sit/stay/lay, but when she's hyper or sees something she wants she goes to get it and I have to tell her the command all over. I can't just say "sit" I have to say it very loud and firmly. Any ideas?

A. If you are in middle of training session quit while you are in sucess mode. If you are not in the middle of training then try to take outside for a walk and wear her down a little. Start working with the command sit over and over and over (like during tv commercials). When she is wound up try calming her down with some long smooth strokes on the chest or back. Don't pet fast etc. REad up on calming a dog (google it) or massaging a dog. There is a method called T touch for horses and I am not sure but there might be wrwiting on that for dogs as well. I have a blog feel free to make suggestions and check back.

What is a specific behavior acquired as a result of social learning?
Q. Need ideas for a project for my psychology class - need to study a behavior I believe to have been acquired as a result of social learning. Help? Also, I have to conduct the experiment using naturalistic methods of observation - does that mean "people watching" or observing them in their natural surroundings?
Asked by sarahdavis2007 - Tue Jan 15 17:23:00 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Social learning is a theory that explains how people learn behavior. so basically anything that someone does, from swearing or hitting, to saying please and thank you everytime, they've probably learned from the people around them or that they grew up with. but it's not always true. like, not everyone that was raised in a bad neighborhood where there was a lot of crime will become a criminal. basically its what we've "learned" from "society" around us.

How to Build a Dog Bad Behavior Stopper for Pennies?
Q. I've heard that you can stop bad behavior in dogs by shaking pennies. But, what do I put the pennies into? Does this actually work? Has anyone ever tried this?
Asked by Aleasha C - Mon Jul 7 08:12:16 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Unless you have a very noise sensitive dog, generally this type of 'training' does not work. The basis behind the pennies in a can is to throw them off guard and stop them from displaying a particular behaviour at that moment in time. It may startle them at first, but tends to lose its effectiveness after a couple of times when they realize that the noise is the only consequence for their behaviour. A much BETTER way to deal with the situation is to verbally correct them and then re-direct their attention onto an object or behaviour that IS acceptable.

A. No, it is not pre-spawning behavior. Here is a little info on gourami breeding. :) The wild Dwarf Gourami has a minimum population doubling time between 1.4 and 4.4 years, and the species is therefore considered medium resilient towards over fishing and other potential threats. It is not included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. You can breed Dwarf Gourami in captivity if you are prepared to coax your fish a little to induce breeding. Sexing Dwarf Gourami is easy since healthy, mature males are extremely colourful while the females have a much duller colouration. Dwarf Gouramis build bubblenest and currents are therefore not recommended in the aquarium since they may disturb or damage the nest. The nests are very beautiful… [cont.]

Just let him know that you think he's been doing an awesome job and would like to reward him, but you thought this time you would let him pick his own reward. It makes them feel important when you show you trust them enough to make their own decisions. Make sure to tell him to keep it within reason though! Good luck!

What worked on your dog or what you saw on tv is relevent to that specific situation and does not apply to every dog or every situation. Behavior problems should be evaluated and addressed on an individual basis by a professional. The wrong advice will make problems worse or create a problem that was not previously there. Dog owners should first contact their local SPCA or shelter for recommendations on local trainers and behavior consultants (some shelters have in-house consultants who offer behavior services - some of the top behavior specialists in the country work for shelters). … [cont.]

A. I agree with you. And, for the most part I do see that the better answers tell the person to take the dog to the vet or to enroll in obedience classes or search for a dog behaviorist. On the other hand, the average American dog owner will not even spend the money to put their dog through a beginner dog training class. They don't spend the time to socialize the dog. Then when the dog has behavior problems the solution most the time is dumping it in a shelter or giving it away. So, if some free advise on the Internet can get these folks to maybe try something suggested and maybe see some improvement and then maybe they will enroll the dog in a class or phone the SPCA and ask about a consultation with a behaviorist.

Behavior problems should be evaluated and addressed on an individual basis by a professional. The wrong advice will make problems worse or create a problem that was not previously there. Dog owners should first contact their local SPCA or shelter for recommendations on local trainers and behavior consultants (some shelters have in-house consultants who offer behavior services - some of the top behavior specialists in the country work for shelters). … [cont.]

A. I agree with you. And, for the most part I do see that the better answers tell the person to take the dog to the vet or to enroll in obedience classes or search for a dog behaviorist. On the other hand, the average American dog owner will not even spend the money to put their dog through a beginner dog training class. They don't spend the time to socialize the dog. Then when the dog has behavior problems the solution most the time is dumping it in a shelter or giving it away. So, if some free advise on the Internet can get these folks to maybe try something suggested and maybe see some improvement and then maybe they will enroll the dog in a class or phone the SPCA and ask about a consultation with a behaviorist. I'd like to see… [cont.]

What is the cause of this cat behavior and how may I correct it?
Q. My 20 month old cat has started some new behaviors. Whenever he can tell that you're about to go out the door he gets in front of you and makes it almost impossible for you to get out without him bolting out, it's even worse when you're coming home and trying to get inside. He's scratch at the door and cry really loud at it as well, wanting to get out. ( He normally isn't a talker or cryer.) He used to like windows but now he's obsessed with ALWAYS sitting and wathcing. This is all NEW behavior within the last couple of weeks, what could be causing it and how may I correct it? He's an INDOOR only cat and we live in an apartment complex and need to keep it that way. I don't understand where his urge is coming from, we have two other… [cont.]

A. My response is a bit out-of-the-box, but it sounds like your cat is a bit obsessive about getting out, even for an indoor cat: Out of curiosity, has he been fixed? If not, he may be smelling (perhaps more than one) girl kitty in heat, and that's likely driving his urge to get out. If he hasn't been fixed, he needs to be immediately: his behavior will only worsen over time (including much more undesirable things like spraying). If he has been fixed, and other behavior modification suggestions don't work, consider the possibility that his neutering wasn't quite complete (occasionally a rescinded testicle misses the vet's knife). Get him checked by a second vet to see if this might have happened. If he was recently fixed (~3mo), he… [cont.]

What is a science of behavior in the following passage?
Q. Human behavior is also predictable in light of the environment within which it occurs. It is not as absolutely predictable as is the case with chemical reactions, gravitational phenomena, and heavenly bodies in space, but it is predictable enough for us to know generally what will happen under given conditions. There is, indeed, a science of human behavior.

A. I would confront my boss to know what this employee did to set themself apart from me. I would be direct as to what I have to do to get promoted. I would also ask where my boss sees me in 3-5 years and make sure that coorelates with my goals. If not, I would update my resume.
