What if dogs ruled the earth? Positive reinforcement
What if dogs ruled the earth? You wake one day and find yourself in a backward world with a collar around your neck and a German Shepherd holding the leash. The dog is barking and whining, and one of its whines sound like “Tis!” Suddenly, you’re jerked by the neck and pushed to the ground. Then the dog walks away and whines, “Yats,” so you go to follow and whammy – a jerk backward with the leash. Better not do that again. So the dogs walks away again and yanks the leash while barking, “Emoc!” What have you learned from this experience? Number one, being trained (if that’s what you call it) stinks. It’s confusing, unfair, unpredictable, and unfun. As if that’s not enough, your trainer apparently thinks that you’re either stupid or stubborn. What if you had a different trainer? This one whines, “You, emchtaw!” So you look lover and you’re handed your favorite snack. Then your new trainer whines, “Tis,” and slides a chair under your rump. You sit and are again handed your favorite snack. Then the dog say, “Yats,” and steadies in your seat as she backs away. Then the dog calls, “Emoc!” and beckons you. When you get there, more snacks! Learning what these words mean wouldn’t take you long, and you might start thinking that you’ve finally found that easy job you’ve been looking for all your life. Remember to look at things from your dog’s point of view. Doing so might help you to quit being stupid. -D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D. |
