And, if you are ignoring unwanted behavior and rewarding wanted behaviors, that IS correcting unwanted behavior. It's called positive reinforcement. As I'm sure you've found, it works really well.  |
Love when we try to read tone of voice into words written on the page and run into phrasing and terminology usage issuses but no it is not correcting unwanted behaviour. As in Positive reinforcement use the right way they is building behaviour not correcting. You working on a different part of the quadrante of training if you are correcting. As in learning theory set up but that a whole long complicated thing to try and work through and explain.
I was not intending on any such a mini lecture on your grooming at all. i just point blank things so that it plain simple and unflowered so that it does not get mixed up in others not using correct terms in an attempt to not have people misunderstand. As i have the vast joy of starting more then a few pups down the road of needing five hours of show grooming at a time and then some pending the dog. I am just not used to the simple yorkie having any grooming past a half hour, so i tend to over explain as i used to the having to build to five hours of brush wash dry brush fluff and cut.
So if it came out you thought it was a lecture again not intended as such. I just was dealing with way to much at one moment to focus past build the behaviour you want and keep on going.
My old gal we have worked through her not liking nail cutting and she not a great one for blow drying all in good time and when i say good time it been 9 years of going slow. We have started the new baby off a little faster as she will we hope go to the ring so nine years of behaviour building just is not going to work or maybe it will if i do nto show her.
